What you will need to do

Provide branding and other content in the form of text / images product photos etc...
We can usually adapt most of the graphics from your existing branding if any.

We will need electronic copies of all your branding materials:

  • Logos
  • Artwork & Videos
  • Brand Guides
  • Company Profiles
  • etc

To generate website content we will also need electronic copies of:

  • Full Product & Service List
  • Product Photos and descriptions
  • Client Testimonials
  • Staff profiles, photos & any qualifications, affiliations
  • etc

If you have an existing domain and/or website:

We will likely need to move you to new web server and may need to move your domain to a new domain registrar and set up new DNS Pointers.

Note: Sometimes your email service is tied to the web hosting provider and we may need to migrate your emails to a new service.

If possible we would need FTP and Control Panel Access to your existing hosting service to get a copy of all your exising content.

To move an existing domain, web hosting and email service:

We will need a transfer code for the domain called:

  • UDAI for .nz domains
  • EPP Code for international domains

These transfer codes can also known as a "registry key" or "domain key" and your current registrar/ webhost will be able to provide these.

DNS Pointers

DNS pointers allow your domain to point to the correct services for email and website hosting etc.

If we take over the registration services for you - we will need a list of any existing DNS records that need to be maintained.

e.g. A Records, CNAME (Alias) records, MX & TXT (SPF, DKIM and SVR etc) records for Mail services, etc


Or we can liaise with you, or your IT people, to set up new DNS Records with your current domain registration or DNS management service.

Marketing

A list of all your digital assets and access to some of these.

  • Social Media Account Links
