Punctuate - Glen Eden

I have been using Dan at Punctuate for my business BG Technical Services Ltd for the last 10 years and found him to very punctual and fair priced on all his work.

The end product was of a very high standard and shares and showcases off our school really well. It is also able to store important documents our community can easily access at any time. I also enjoyed the support during and after the development of website and even still today as it my first time in developing a website.

"The Kōtuitui Kāhui Ako - is a community of schools in the West Auckland area. We comprise of 12 schools, each with their own unique personality and collectively care for around seven and a half thousand students. One of the tools for researching and driving change within our community is the process of ‘Inquiry’. Kōtuitui has over fifty Inquiries happening within the community at any given time. These Inquiries are investigating a range of important issues that affect the educational outcomes of our learners. Very early on in our journey as a community of schools, we realised that the use of tools like Google to record this invaluable research was insufficient. While the data could be recorded, there was no way for those in the community or those in subsequent years to be able to tag, search, reference and build on completed research in a sustainable way. Additionally the larger community were unaware of the work happening to improve the educational outcomes for the children in our schools, so we needed a way to communicate this with them. We contacted Dan at Punctuate to come and meet with us to hear about the vision we had for a sustainable knowledge base for Kōtuitui and how best we could communicate the work we were doing with all of those in our community. We knew that we were asking for something that did not currently exist and that would need to evolve with us over time. Dan gave us the time to talk through how we would like our researchers work to flow for them - the key for us was SIMPLICITY. We have many skilled teachers with excellent inquiry skills, but very little time to learn how to use a complex database. What Dan has been able to create has far exceeded our expectations. He was able to bring our vision to fruition. His ability to plan, test and design for a totally unique database that is driven by the experiences of our teachers has been exemplary. Any issues or changes that we discovered through testing phases have been actioned quickly - as well as Dan offering suggestions to future proof this powerful tool - creating something that will sustain the knowledge learned within our community for future researchers and learners. In conjunction to this quite phenomenal work on our knowledge database, Dan has created a community web-portal that gives our greater community the ability to see and understand the work that is happening on behalf of the seven and a half thousand children within our community. Again, Dan did this through genuinely taking the time to understand who we are as a community, what drives us and what we value. We never felt that this was a ‘typical’ solution that was being tweaked for us. This digital presence Dan has created for Kōtuitui is designed with us, for us and to serve us, now and into the future. If you have the opportunity to work with Dan and his team, we feel 100% assured they will look after you, just as they continue to do for the Kōtuitui Community." The Across CoL Team, Kōtuitui

Kia ora Dan & Nadia, Working with Punctuate to design, develop and launch Green Bay High School’s new website was an awesome experience. The initial design process was easy as Dan and Nadia really connected with the school’s vision, strategic focus, and our local community. The team at Punctuate were able to incorporate our unique needs and school profile into a coherent design aesthetic and user experience. Prototyping and refining our website was a collaborative process, and the support along the way was excellent. Everything from stakeholder engagement, refining the UX and transitioning to a new content management system was well planned and executed. When it came time for launching the new site, the transition was managed by Punctuate in a manner that was seamless. The ongoing support post-launch and the relationship we have formed with the team couldn’t be better and we have the utmost trust and confidence that they will continue to deliver an industry-leading service and ensure we have a product that continues to evolve and stay fit for purpose for an evolving school and changing digital market.
