Client Overview

Pacific Trust Otago (PTO) isn’t just an organisation – it’s the heartbeat of the Pacific community in Otago. With a mission rooted in love, care, and cultural pride, PTO is all about empowering Pacific peoples to live healthier, stronger lives, while staying true to their roots. Whether it’s through health services, education, or cultural initiatives, PTO is there every step of the way, building bridges between tradition and opportunity.

They’re not just focused on ticking boxes; PTO is all about making real, lasting impacts. From community health programs to cultural events that bring people together, they’re tackling the big challenges and celebrating the beauty of Pacific identity in every way possible. PTO embodies the spirit of service and cultural pride, providing support with open arms and a big heart.

At its core, PTO is driven by one key belief: that Pacific peoples deserve to thrive. They’re not just leading initiatives; they’re lifting up the entire community with a vision for a brighter, healthier future. Pacific Trust Otago is the go-to for anyone wanting to connect with their heritage while stepping confidently into tomorrow.

Project Objective

The goal of this project is to build a dynamic, culturally rich website that shines a spotlight on the incredible work Pacific Trust Otago (PTO) does for the Pacific communities in New Zealand. This isn’t just a website – it’s a digital home where Pacific values, traditions, and support services meet the modern world, providing a space that feels both welcoming and empowering.

We aim to create an intuitive, easy-to-navigate platform that showcases PTO’s community programs, health services, and cultural initiatives in a way that connects with the people who need it most. With strong visuals, accessible information, and a warm, inclusive design, the website will act as both a resource hub and a community connection point.

Our objective is simple: craft a site that reflects PTO’s heart for community, their commitment to cultural preservation, and their mission to improve the wellbeing of Pacific people across the region. This website will not only inform but inspire, turning visitors into active participants in PTO’s vision for a stronger, healthier future.

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 Pacific Trust Otago's 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.
