Client Overview

The Dunedin Club, established in 1858, is a distinguished private members' club located in Dunedin, New Zealand. Housed in the historic Fernhill property, built in 1867 by entrepreneur John Jones, the club offers a unique blend of elegance and tradition within a heritage-listed building set amidst expansive grounds.


Membership at the Dunedin Club is open to individuals from various professions and backgrounds, providing a space to connect with people shaping the future of Dunedin. The club emphasises a sense of community and offers members a home away from home, where they can enjoy the finer things in life.

In summary, the Dunedin Club stands as a historic and prestigious institution, offering its members and guests a unique environment that seamlessly blends heritage with contemporary expectations.

Project Objective

A New Era for a Timeless Institution

The Dunedin Club approached GummyBear with a bold vision: to honour its rich history while stepping confidently into the digital age. With a legacy rooted in fostering connections and creating unforgettable experiences, the Club sought to elevate its online presence to reflect its ethos of friendship, enjoyment, and forward-thinking innovation.

Our mission was clear: build a beautifully designed, simple-to-use, and user-friendly website that would embody the elegance of the Dunedin Club while catering to the needs of a modern audience. The digital transformation would act as a gateway, attracting a new generation of members and deepening engagement with its current community.

This project involved a holistic approach, integrating key features like responsive web design, calendar and social media integration, and professional copywriting - all designed to capture the spirit of the Club and deliver an exceptional user experience. The result? A website that doesn’t just showcase what the Dunedin Club offers but brings its storied legacy to life in the digital space.

Why This Matters: The new website bridges the gap between heritage and innovation, creating a dynamic platform that invites visitors to experience the Dunedin Club’s culture, history, and opportunities. By aligning cutting-edge technology with timeless values, the Dunedin Club is poised to grow its community and thrive in the digital era.

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 The Dunedin Club'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.
