The New Zealand Musicological Society was established in 1981 and launched their first website in 2008, 27 years later. The society's members live in different centres throughout New Zealand, and so the aim of this website is to improve communication and dissemination of information within the members of the society and its committee.

This website serves to advertise the services of Marian Poole, Piano Teacher and Music Critic. Since Marian is also an academic the website offers several academic conference presentations as down-loadable files.

The Donald Beasley Institute does research in the field of intellectual disabilities, so it was important for them to have their corporate web site designed to be accessible to people with disabilities.

This blog was set up to document the experiences and images from Willem and Leta's trip to Italy, Switzerland, France and the UK at the end of 2006. This is an excellent forum for sharing these experiences with far-flung family and friends, and to preserve these memories for re-visiting in later years.

The library staff at NHNZ Images wanted a blog to use as a tool to promote the sales of video stock footage. This Blogger account was set up for the purpose, with modifications to the template to match the look and feel with that of the corporate image of the NHNZ website.

The NHNZ website was designed and built around 2002 by another web developer, but it is currently being maintained by Goose Tree Web Design.

We recently implemented a new concept for the programme catalogue in the "our programs" section of the website.

The solution was to make use of the very powerful Wetpaint Wiki platform.

The menu on this site is driven by Javascript to create the dropmenu effect.

This web site was designed as a proposed add–on to the NHNZ Limited corporate web site, to provide a children's learning experience.
