CONS.NZ is a fan-run service that provides web hosting and convention management systems for New Zealand science fiction & fantasy fandom. Their home page had always been a low priority, and when we got to it it was simply some explanatory text and a list of conventions to date, with minimal formatting.
We used a Bootstrap theme to give the site a space-age feel. We divided it into three sections with a working menu to create an effective one page website, and added more detailed information about the conventions in a table format. Lastly, we created a customised Google Map that showed the locations of conventions, and allowed the user to see at a glance how many had taken place in each area of the country.
You can view the full site at https://www.cons.nz/. Looking for us to add our design skills to an existing site? Want a custom Google Map which shows your locations around the country – or around the world? Get in touch – we’d love to hear from you.
