DFK Australia and New Zealand were stuck in the 90's with a static, one dimensional website. They engaged Wirth Consulting to provide them with a new website that would update their online image, while maintaining branding consistency with the London-based head office of their international franchise. The result is a fresh new website with modern features and google maps integration for their client firms.

Project Date: February - June 2011
DFK Client Firms websites
In addition to developing a website for DFK Australia and New Zealand, Wirth Consulting also developed a standardised Joomla CMS template which could be re-used for their client firms. This helped save the client firms additional costs in re-developing their entire website for their own purpose - it was a simple matter of implementing the firms' own content and adjusting minor elements such as logos and images to make the template site their own. Along with the actual website development, we created a set of standard processes allowing us to work remotely with the client firms based around Australia, New Zealand and Papua New Guinea.
We implemented the new Joomla template and Joomla content management system on the following client firm websites:
- DFK Oswin Griffiths (in progress - Auckland, New Zealand)
- DFK Hill Mayberry (in progress - Port Moresby, Papua New Guinea)
- DFK Benjamin King Money (in progress - Melbourne, Victoria)
- DFK Hirn Newey (Brisbane, Queensland)
- DFK Collins (Melbourne, Victoria)
- DFK Kidsons (Cairns Queensland)
The end result of this project will be consistent branding across the DFK Australia and New Zealand client firms.
