Client Overview

DBAS helps people with finances. No one likes being in the position of financial uncertainty or strain - this sucks and can quite often lead to dark feelings. Knowing that there is a team of unbiased and nonjudgemental people, who volunteer their time to help people through difficult financial times, provides a sense of security.

"Talk is cheap, it costs money to buy the whiskey" is an old saying. DBAS are all about quiet achievement and you can see that through their support from Rotary, FinCap, Dunedin City Council and the Ministry of Social Development. GummyBear is proud to support those who support our community.

Project Objective

The plan? Give DBAS an online presence that grabs attention and keeps it. We hit refresh on their logo and designed and developed a website that feels as real and relatable as they are. From no-nonsense budget tips to straight-up help with debt, every element of this website is designed to make DBAS easy to find and even easier to trust.

We set out to make DBAS the place people turn to when they need practical, judgment-free advice. No fluff, no fuss - just a killer design that pulls you in and a user experience that makes finding support as simple as it should be. This isn’t just a website; it’s DBAS doing what they do best, with GummyBear giving it a bit of shine.

Logo Concepts

First impressions matter!

A logo stands as a beacon communicating the identity and ethos of an organisation.

Imagine the most beautiful person in the world standing naked in front of you, you can dress that person in formal ware, and they look stunning, red carpet ready, or you can dress the same person in a sack. You have not changed anything about the person physically, however, your perception of the person changes immediately.

Website Stylescape Concepts

The art behind the science!

Stylescapes are like moodboards on steroids - a curated mix of images, design elements, typography and colour. Stylescapes makes communicating your idea, of your brand, to GummyBear's designers simple. How else do you communicate that you like red? Well what red? Do you mean maroon, scarlet, rose, ruby, crimson, etc.?

Why bother with stylescapes? Because first impressions matter! They provide the opportunity for every visual element of your brand to resonate with your customers, evoking the right emotions, associations and behaviours. Without them you risk mishaps, like looking like a donkey.

Check out DBAS' three different branding options below - they're the same, but different!

Website Content & Wireframe

Architectural blueprint of your website!

Think of wireframes as the grey and boring, yet essential, architectural blueprint of your website. GummyBear's high fidelity wireframes (rather than your sketch pad antics), use real content and appropriately scaled images, videos, buttons, etc. providing a precise and practical view of your website's layout. Additionally, functionality drives everything and the wireframe allows us to plan your website visitors user experience (AKA how they use the website), so they can find the information they're looking for, as fast as possible.

Website Design

Dressed to impress!

Website design is where the real fun begins. Once we've got the blueprint (wireframe) and the creative stylescape sorted, it's time to bring it together and make your website shine.

Why is this so important? Because design is what turns heads and keeps people coming back. It's your brand's personality, charm and charisma all rolled into one. Every colour, font, design element and image is handpicked to make your audience go "Wow!" and keep them engaged.

Think of it like this: your wireframe is the skeleton, the stylescape is the wardrobe, and now we're dressing it up for the big reveal. GummyBear's not just building a website; GummyBear's crafting an experience that's unforgettable, engaging, and oh-so-you.

Skip this step, and you risk ending up with a digital snooze fest. Nail it, and you've got a showstopper.

Website Development

It's alive!

Website development is where the behind-the-scenes wizardry gives life to your website design. This is where you get to sit back, fasten your seat belts, put your tray tables in the upright position, and relax as GummyBear's team of coders/developers work their magic - AKA a bunch of coding that's really boring to look at before the website's finished.

When GummyBear's done, you'll have a stunning, polished website that's ready to turn heads and steal the show. It's not just a pretty face, it's an interactive, engaging experience that makes people want to stick around and get to know you.
