The world is a lot smaller with skype
and email.
Joi Design has a physical presence in Australia (Melbourne), New Zealand (Auckland) and the US (San Diego). We frequently work with clients outside these areas and countries. With email and Skype, geography isn’t a barrier, it’s just a fun thing! If you’re outside of these areas, we’ve developed a fun and effective approach to working, via skype, email and video.

As a Swiss-based entrepreneur, it is always a risk to find a new partner offshore - using online communication tools only (eg. Skype). Despite a time zone difference of 8 hours and a Business Catalyst (GoodBarry) site written exclusively in French, I found with Joi Design the perfect partner!
Joi and her team went much beyond Design, HTML/CSS integration and optimization, they were able to understand our services and add Business value. Overall, the project was managed professionally with mutual trust. I look forward to working with Joi Design again.
The Office
Rellocation Company
To possible clients of Joi Design, we recently engaged Joi and her team to build a website that was user friendly as well as informative to assist us raise the profile of our business in a very competitive market. Joi Design understood our goals right from the start and helped us realise additional ones and created a website that exceeded our expectations in every way. We’re based in Wellington but geography was never a barrier. I pick up the phone and call local suppliers anyway, who has time for face-to-face visits these days!
We are now regularly recieving enquiries directly from the website and many positive comments about it’s layout and presentation. We have no hesitation in recommeding Joi Design to anyone considering utlising their skills in creating websites.
MarketingAnd,Inc
We are not a website design firm. We are a marketing company. We help businesses generate, convert and measure marketing results. Because our client base does about 70% of their business via the web, and because their website is their most important asset outside of their people and physical location- we insist they make their website a priority. It is the hub that all other spokes in the wheel connect to.
Our agency is built on a Hollywood model. We don’t want a big staff and huge payroll. We want to stay lean and nimble and have the option of picking the right talent or technology partner to play the role we need for any given project or client marketing plan.
That is why we outsource. However, with that said, it is easy to find great talent but difficult to find great people, i.e., reliable, dependable, consistent. They have to deliver on time. They have to be great communicators. They have to know how to manage the project and stay within budget. That is the hard part. Finding talent that can also do that.
Joi Design has delivered for us across the board time and time again. They act as an extension of our team. They take ownership and responsibility and treat each job like they are doing it for their own client. What’s more, because they can deliver on time and within budget, we benefit by getting to utilize the talent on their team.
Incite
I’ve worked with Joi Design on several branding and web projects now. We find them to be professional, insightful and creative. With Joi Design I know geek talk will be kept to the minimum and when they say they’re going to do something they do it. We recommend them to several of our clients, so a high level of trust is important. I wouldn’t hesitate recommending them to anyone who is serious about their brand and online presence.
