A straightforward approach to work.

Clear stages, weekly updates,
all delivering to a plan.

At Sparks we like a simple plan - divide the work into a series of tasks, then deliver results. Every project runs to a schedule, and we post weekly with status updates and progress reports. Our team structure, documentation and communication all line up with this approach.

Strategy &
Planning

Short term or long term, a well thought out approach makes all the difference. Sparks digital strategy depends on rapid analysis, relevant research and effective planning to set an initial direction. Then we measure and adapt.

Creative &
Design

Our design philosophy is simple; know who the audience is, understand the business objectives, then connect the two with clarity and purpose. We can take existing brand and creative then work it for best use online, or develop new brands and identities that put digital first.

HTML/CSS &
Interface

All projects benefit from getting to the best interface they can as fast as possible. HTML/CSS and javascript is a specific discipline at Sparks and we work with grids, frameworks and hand-coded custom builds to achieve quick, robust, multi-platform interfaces that attract and engage audiences.

Code &
Features

Sparks presents one of New Zealand’s most experienced and complete offers for open source web development, particularly Drupal. We build sites for long term ease of ownership, from small builds to large scale content management systems. High performance under traffic load is a specialty.

Testing &
Infrastructure

Sparks take a “whole team” approach to testing along with specialised test roles assigned to specific projects. Infrastructure services are handled by in-house staff and your choice of 3 preferred suppliers. Competitive quoting is always available, and Sparks consider service as the highest indicator of performance.
