These aren’t stock examples, hypothetical concepts or AI-generated images — they’re real client projects, showing what changed, what XDC.NZ did and what the finished result achieved.
From brochures and marketing material to signage, branding, promotional campaigns and digital design, these projects show how XDC.NZ turns rough, outdated or ineffective material into professional communication that businesses can actually use.
Professional tri-fold brochure
Client-supplied Microsoft Word brochure
Professional tri-fold brochure
The original brochure was heavily text-based and lacked the visual hierarchy, personality and professional finish needed to establish immediate trust with prospective business sellers and buyers.
The challenge wasn’t simply to make the brochure prettier. It was to make Michael and his expertise feel credible, approachable and worth trusting.
The redesign introduced:
The result was a brochure that felt like it belonged in the same room as the established players in the Christchurch business-broking market.
That helped reinforce the message that clients weren’t simply getting an individual agent — they were gaining access to a broader network, specialist knowledge and experience in the business sales market.
His original copy talked about his background, family, agriculture, education and business experience.
Rather than leaving those qualities buried in paragraphs, the design brought the person forward.
The positioning became:
Your Friendly, Knowledgeable Agent
Professional enough to compete with the big players.
Personal enough to trust.
CLIENT TESTIMONIAL
“XDC took what we had and completely transformed how we presented ourselves. The original brochure was basic and simply wasn’t doing the job. Clint understood that we needed to look professional, credible and approachable, and the finished brochure gave us a much stronger presence with prospective clients. The response was fantastic, and the work generated far more interest than we had been getting before.”
Michael Gawith — Business Broker, NAI Harcourts / Grenadier Business Brokers, Christchurch
And the commercial outcome was even better:
More clients. More business. More work than Michael knew what to do with.
The brochure wasn’t simply a redesign.
It helped Michael present himself at the level his business deserved — and gave prospective clients a reason to trust him before the first conversation.

It was basic, flat and visually unremarkable — and, more importantly, it wasn’t helping them win quotes and tenders.
The folder had become something they simply weren’t using. Eventually, they let their existing supply run out.
The result was a much stronger presentation folder with a consolidated visual style, stronger hierarchy and a more professional feel.
The design was presented as a 3D visualisation so Stack Electrical could see exactly what their finished folder would look like before committing to production.
They loved it.
XDC.NZ then arranged local Christchurch printing at a highly competitive price, taking the project from concept through to finished print.

Six Capability Statements were subsequently designed and laid out:
The result was a consistent suite of professional tender documents that made it significantly easier for Stack Electrical to present its capabilities to prospective clients.
The design created a consolidated look across the business rather than having every document feeling like a separate piece of communication.
Where appropriate, XDC.NZ incorporated these messages into the collateral without compromising the professional presentation.
CLIENT TESTIMONIAL
“XDC completely changed the way we presented Stack Electrical. Our old presentation folder was basic, dated and wasn’t something we were particularly keen to use. Clint took our existing brand and website direction and turned it into a professional, modern presentation that actually represented the quality of our work. The project also grew into our suite of Capability Statements, which made putting together tenders and submissions much easier. We were really impressed with the result and the way Clint brought everything together.”

Part of a family of logos created as standard when doing a logo with XDC
Part of a family of logos created as standard when doing a logo with XDC
NeuroShiftology started with an ambitious concept — and a very simple visual starting point.
XDC.NZ was supplied with a sketch consisting of a word treatment and a stick-figure idea.
The challenge was to take that starting point and translate the thinking behind NeuroShiftology into a visual identity that could work professionally across digital and print applications.
NeuroShiftology is a somatic and subconscious nervous-system reprogramming method created by health practitioner Kirsten Manchester.
Rather than trying to visually explain the entire methodology in a single mark, XDC.NZ focused on creating an identity that could provide a recognisable visual foundation for the developing business.
The goal was to move the brand beyond its early backyard-business origins and create something capable of supporting much bigger ambitions.
XDC.NZ developed the original sketch into a polished logo and visual identity.
Following several rounds of refinement and tweaks, the identity was aligned with the visual direction already being developed for the WordPress website.
Rather than delivering only one logo file, XDC.NZ created a practical logo family for different applications.
The finished identity included:
This gives NeuroShiftology flexibility across websites, email, social media, documents and future marketing material while retaining a consistent visual identity.
The project also demonstrates how XDC.NZ can operate as an outsourced specialist within a wider creative or development team.
With the website being developed separately, XDC.NZ provided the logo design and visual assets required to ensure the brand could carry consistently into the digital environment.
CLIENT TESTIMONIAL
“Clint at XDC.NZ was AMAZING. I’m a startup owner and not very tech-savvy, and Clint made the whole logo process incredibly easy. Even though I’m not based in Christchurch, he gave me fantastic advice and guidance as if we were working face-to-face. Fast turnaround, great colour options, and all logo files supplied without me having to ask. If you’re a startup or tech-challenged, Clint is the person to go to. I can see why he’s so highly recommended in Rolleston and Christchurch!”
Kirsten, NeuroShiftology, Dunedin
A rough initial sketch became a complete, adaptable identity system ready to support the next stage of NeuroShiftology’s development.
From a sketch and an idea to a brand built to go much further.

Highly technical medical logo
Highly technical medical poster and branding
Julie is a specialist practitioner with a strong desire to use her experience to help others experiencing pain.
But the business didn’t initially have a visual presence that reflected the ambition, professionalism or individuality behind it.
Like many very small businesses, much of the communication had evolved around what was available — Word documents, basic marketing material and a business that was still operating on a very small scale.
The challenge was to make the business look and feel considerably more established without losing the personal nature that made it Julie’s business.
XDC.NZ started with the logo.
The brief required something powerful and contemporary that could communicate trust, professionalism and a high-tech feel.
Blue was deliberately used as a key part of the identity, helping establish a more clinical, technological and trustworthy visual language.
The new logo then became the foundation for everything else.
With the identity established, XDC.NZ created a new Wix website to give Spinal Flow Healing a professional home online.
The website provided somewhere to explain the business, communicate the offering and present Julie professionally to people discovering her for the first time.
The new identity was then carried into a range of practical marketing material, including:
Rather than designing each piece independently, the material was developed as a connected visual system.
XDC.NZ also developed branded social graphics and supporting digital content.
Julie wanted to learn how to manage her own social posting, so rather than taking everything away from her, XDC.NZ helped establish the visual side while allowing her to develop her own confidence with the platform.
This is where the project moved beyond graphic design alone.
Throughout the project, XDC.NZ provided creative thinking and practical business advice around how the brand could present itself, communicate more effectively and make the most of the material being created.
The work was designed to make the business easier to market — not simply prettier.
XDC.NZ also made the project more manageable financially by allowing Julie to pay progressively rather than having the entire transformation become an immediate financial burden.
The transformation is ongoing.
New business cards are now being prepared with small refinements to the design, ready for local Christchurch printing.
The identity has created a foundation that can continue to evolve as the business grows.
CLIENT RESULT STATEMENT
“From a small Southbridge garage-based business to a professional brand built to punch well above its weight. XDC.NZ transformed Spinal Flow Healing from a basic, low-profile presentation into a complete visual and digital brand — starting with a powerful new logo and extending across the website, print, posters, pull-up banners, business cards, social graphics and ongoing business support. The result was a cohesive, professional presence that gave Julie the confidence and tools to take her business to the next level.”
Julie, Spinal Flow with Julie, Southbridge, Chrstchurch
Spinal Flow Healing moved from basic documents and small-business “make do” marketing to a coordinated professional identity, website and marketing system.
The business remains personal and independent — but its visual presence now gives it the opportunity to punch considerably above its weight.
From a small Southbridge garage business to a professional brand with a much bigger presence.

The project helped establish a strong local presence for the Selwyn and Christchurch property services business
This professional Wix Website Design formed part of the wider local marketing and SEO strategy for the property services and pest management business serving Selwyn and Christchurch
Panther Property Services already had an established business in Nelson, but the move to Christchurch created a new challenge.
The business needed to establish itself in a completely different local market.
It wasn’t enough simply to put the existing business name on a vehicle and hope people noticed.
XDC.NZ approached the project as a complete local-business transformation — from the brand people would recognise on the road through to the Google presence and website people would find when they searched.
The first step was a new Panther identity.
XDC.NZ created a large, stylised panther head contained within a distinctive sheared hexagon, giving the business a strong visual mark that could work particularly well at vehicle scale.
The identity was designed to be recognisable from a distance and memorable when seen repeatedly around the local area.
The existing Google Business Profile was taken over and developed into a stronger local visibility asset.
XDC.NZ also created a new Wix website and worked across the SEO and local-search ecosystem to establish Panther Property Services in Christchurch and Selwyn.
The aim was simple:
Make Panther visible where local customers were looking — and recognisable when they saw the business out and about.
This is where the transformation really became visible.
Rather than immediately committing to expensive full vehicle wraps, XDC.NZ designed strong computer-cut signage for the black ute and van.
Bright orange became the standout colour against the dark vehicles.
The Panther logo was made deliberately large.
The mobile number was prominent.
And along the lower sections of the vehicles, XDC.NZ created a collection of illustrated pests and bugs.
That detail was important.
People don’t necessarily stop to read vehicle advertising.
But they look.
The bugs gave them something to notice, understand and remember.
The vehicles became moving billboards throughout Christchurch and Selwyn.
The vehicle signage was supported with rack cards and flyers for targeted letterbox drops.
The campaign used a deliberately local message — including the cheeky idea of telling people that Panther had “been next door” servicing a nearby property.
That created a little FOMO:
If your neighbour has had their property treated, perhaps yours needs checking too.
The combination of vehicle visibility, printed marketing, website, Google and local SEO created a connected marketing system rather than isolated advertising.
CLIENT TESTIMONIAL
“Starting a new business over Christmas was challenging, but Clint made the branding process easy. From logo design to print and vehicle graphics, everything was handled professionally and efficiently.”
Allan Langdon, Panther Property Services, Selwyn
Panther Property Services went from an established Nelson business needing a Christchurch base to a highly visible local brand with distinctive vehicles, a recognisable identity and a digital presence built around local search.
The signage did more than identify the vehicles.
It turned every trip around Christchurch into another brand-awareness opportunity.
The work demonstrates exactly what happens when branding, signage, Google, SEO, website and marketing are treated as one connected system.

Basic 1/3 A4 Flyer for distribution locally
Basic 1/3 A4 Flyer for distribution locally
Property marketing has very little room for mistakes.
The corporate brand has to be followed accurately, the information has to be clear, the property has to look its best and the material often needs to be produced quickly.
This is where XDC.NZ has supported local property professionals across Christchurch, Rolleston and the wider Canterbury area.
For Adam Rogers and Ray White Next Step, XDC.NZ developed the original logo and subsequently supplied marketing collateral for distribution throughout the Christchurch area.
The work extended beyond the initial identity into the practical day-to-day marketing material required by a local property business.
For Richard Tait and Four Seasons Realty in Rolleston, XDC.NZ created promotional material designed to put the agent himself forward — including a flyer featuring Richard to strengthen his personal profile alongside the Harcourts corporate identity.
The work also included logos for subdivisions and various signage and promotional requirements as they arose.
Working with a major property brand isn’t an opportunity to reinvent the corporate identity.
It is an exercise in getting the details right.
Typography, colours, logos, hierarchy, spacing and application all need to remain faithful to the parent brand while still producing material that works for the local agent and local market.
That’s where experience matters.
XDC.NZ provides local, fast and friendly support while understanding that the finished material still needs to look exactly like it belongs within the wider corporate network.
XDC.NZ also supports a number of local property agents with advertising for magazines, online campaigns and other promotional requirements, including organising distribution where required.
The value isn’t simply producing one flyer.
It is having someone local who already understands the brand, gets the job right, and can turn around the next requirement without having to start from scratch.
CLIENT TESTIMONIAL
“Nice to deal with a real person who puts his clients first. Have always kept in touch since. Thanks.”

Upgrading an established WordPress site without breaking what already worked — restructuring content and navigation, creating new digital assets, improving SEO, adding functionality and fixing the technical issues holding the site back
Catalynk had an established WordPress website, but it needed attention.
The objective wasn’t to rip everything out and start again.
It was to identify what could be improved, fix the important issues and create a stronger foundation for future growth — while keeping the existing website operational.
XDC.NZ developed a staged approach beginning with the areas that could produce the greatest immediate benefit.
Four to five cornerstone landing pages were identified and developed around the brand’s key areas of expertise.
The work included:
Existing Elementor pages could be duplicated and refined rather than rebuilt unnecessarily.
The website also required practical technical support.
XDC.NZ worked through issues as they appeared, including:
The approach was deliberately pragmatic:
Fix what matters. Improve what can be improved. Don’t rebuild something simply because it is old.
Site performance was also investigated.
With the website hosted in the United States, latency was identified as a potential issue for users in New Zealand as well as international visitors.
XDC.NZ investigated caching, CDN options, image optimisation and unnecessary plugin overhead as part of the wider performance strategy.
Slow-site issues were isolated and reported rather than simply throwing another plugin at the problem.
The SEO foundation was strengthened alongside the website work.
This included:
The important point was that SEO wasn’t treated as something to bolt onto the website after the design work.
It was incorporated into the page structure from the beginning.
The work also included creating and manipulating original digital imagery.
Stock imagery was transformed and blended where appropriate, with Photoshop work used to create more distinctive visuals for the website rather than relying entirely on generic stock photography.
This is where graphic design and website design overlap.
The website needed to look like Catalynk, not simply function like a WordPress website.
PROJECT OUTCOME
“Catalynk came to XDC.NZ with an established but ageing digital presence that needed careful improvement rather than a disruptive rebuild. XDC audited, upgraded and restructured the existing WordPress site, improving navigation, content, SEO, technical performance and supporting assets while keeping the existing platform intact. The project brought together WEBSITEfix, SEOfix, GRAPHfix and ongoing technical support to create a stronger digital foundation without throwing away what was already working.”
Catalynk — Corporate Digital & WEBSITEfix / Upgrade | XDC.NZ
Catalynk received an ongoing programme of website, SEO, design and technical improvements without the disruption and cost of an unnecessary full rebuild.
The website became a stronger platform for cornerstone content, SEO and future development while retaining the underlying system that already worked.
Sometimes the smartest website redesign is the one that doesn’t require starting again.

Inspect Right’s website home page was rebuilt and refined by XDC.NZ
Grant came to XDC.NZ with a website produced using an AI-assisted web platform.
The site had the appearance of a finished website, but underneath the surface there were significant problems.
It wasn’t ranking properly.
The pages weren’t structured around meaningful search intent.
Images hadn’t been properly prepared for the web.
There wasn’t enough meaningful on-page or technical SEO.
And the site wasn’t communicating the business as effectively as it could.
XDC.NZ essentially flipped the script.
Rather than simply replacing the site visually, the existing website was reworked from the inside out.
Images were converted to appropriate web formats, renamed meaningfully and given relevant alt text.
Services were separated into dedicated pages.
Those pages were properly structured and interlinked.
Content was created and rewritten to establish a consistent brand voice.
The footer was rebuilt.
Navigation was improved.
Google Analytics 4 and Search Console were connected.
SEO and GEO considerations were incorporated throughout the site.
CLIENT TESTIMONIAL
“Hi Clint, not 1 call or email from Webador website. Almost think is a scam. Wish now spent your input on Wix website. Put down to learning experience 😊. Re Cool Rides website, will wait on this until get some level of consistent bookings via other channels.”
Grant — Inspect Right, Christchurch
The important difference was that this wasn’t treated as an SEO-only project.
The visual communication was fixed at the same time.
Images were selected, prepared, cropped and positioned with the same thinking that goes into traditional graphic design.
The result was a website that looked more professional while also providing search engines and users with a much clearer understanding of what Inspect Right actually offers.
The original Webador/AI-built website wasn’t generating meaningful enquiries. XDC.NZ stepped in to restructure the site, improve its service architecture, create and optimise the imagery, strengthen on-page SEO and GEO, connect Google Analytics and Search Console, and build a much stronger digital foundation. The result was a website that could finally compete for search visibility rather than simply exist online.
Wood ’n’ Tree’s Wix website upgraded with stronger visual design, content and SEO by XDC.NZ
Wood ’n’ Tree product page redesigned and optimised by XDC.NZ
Wood ‘n’ Tree is an even longer XDC.NZ relationship.
The business dates back more than 25 years, when XDC.NZ created its original logo and produced print and advertising material.
The next generation of the business brought a Wix website that needed a designer’s eye.
Josh didn’t necessarily need an entirely new website.
He needed the existing site to be designed properly.
XDC.NZ reworked the layout, improved the graphics and strengthened the SEO and GEO foundations.
The website was also transformed into an ecommerce-style experience without turning the business into a conventional ecommerce operation.
The business remained local and personal, but the website became significantly easier for customers to understand and interact with.
Google Business Profile work was also incorporated to reinforce the local presence.
Once the improved Wood ‘n’ Tree site went live, the phone started ringing and orders came in immediately.
Josh suddenly had the opposite problem:
The website was working — and he couldn’t keep up.
That is the useful side of fixing digital graphic design properly.
It isn’t just about making a website prettier.
It is about making the visual communication, content, structure, search visibility and customer journey work together.
CLIENT TESTIMONIAL
“Clint is very passionate about his work, he done a great job setting up our Woodntree website. Very happy with the result and also starting generating orders and inquiries instantly.”
Josh — Wood ’n’ Tree, Christchurch
Two very different businesses demonstrate the same XDC.NZ principle:

XDC.NZ helped Robinsons Garage build its local digital presence across social media, Google and Apple Maps
Country In The Country — the first country music festival in Leeston, promoted from the ground up by XDC.NZ
For many businesses, the real challenge is getting that brand seen, remembered and acted upon — across Facebook, Instagram, Google, websites, email, signage and everywhere else customers encounter it.
This collection shows how XDC.NZ uses graphic design as the visual engine behind social campaigns and digital marketing.
Wayne owns Robinsons Garage in Prebbleton.
When I first approached him as a local business, the new building was sitting in the middle of a paddock on Robinson Road with essentially nothing behind it except a sign.
We built the digital presence from scratch.
Facebook. Instagram. Google Business Profile. Apple Business Connect / Apple Maps. Photography. Branded graphics. Content.
The objective wasn’t simply to “do social media”. It was to make Robinsons Garage visible to the people who actually lived nearby.
PROJECT OUTCOME
“Robinsons Garage started with little more than a new building, a sign and a great local business owner. XDC.NZ built the digital presence around it — Facebook, Instagram, Google Business Profile, Apple Business Connect, photography and ongoing social content. The result was a local automotive business that people could actually find, recognise and engage with. Facebook reach is now heavily driven by non-followers, showing the content is reaching well beyond the existing customer base, while WOF bookings have taken off.”
Wayne — Robinsons Garage, Prebbleton
The results were immediate.
Facebook reach grew strongly, with views increasingly coming from people who weren’t already following the business. Non-followers accounted for around 82% of Facebook reach.
The design work created recognition; the platforms created reach; the local targeting created relevance.
Country in the County was preparing for its first-ever country music festival in Leeston.
There was no established social audience to work with.
PROJECT OUTCOME
“Country in the County was starting from scratch — a brand-new country music festival with no established social audience. XDC.NZ created and managed the Facebook presence, developed the visual content, produced promotional graphics and teaser videos, and kept the campaign moving throughout the build-up to the first festival. What started as a blank social page grew into a genuine community audience, with the festival now attracting more than 32,000 followers and 96% of Facebook reach coming from people who don’t already follow the page.”
Country in the County — Leeston, Selwyn
XDC.NZ helped establish the Facebook presence, developed the visual style, created graphics and content, produced teaser videos and continually fed the campaign with fresh material.
The objective was simple:
Make people know it was happening.
The campaign grew from nothing into a substantial audience, with more than 32,000 followers and approximately 96% of reach coming from non-followers.
That’s what good campaign design is supposed to do — get outside the existing audience.

KERBY.NZ gutter ramp in Rolleston, featuring a durable powdercoated finish and glow-in-the-dark visibility line
CLIENT TESTIMONIAL
“Building TheRampMan.NZ has been a fantastic example of what happens when you put proper design, branding and marketing behind a good product. XDC.NZ has been involved from the very beginning — from the logo and website through to SEO, social media, photography, content and the whole brand voice. It’s grown into a recognisable NZ-made brand with a personality of its own, and I’m pretty bloody proud of where we’ve taken it.”
Clint, Founder, TheRampMan.NZ, Christchurch
TheRampMan.NZ is a particularly strong example of graphic design becoming an entire digital ecosystem.
XDC.NZ manages the website, social content and ongoing brand communication, developing everything from campaign concepts and graphics to the quirky brand voice that makes the business recognisable.
The brand isn’t trying to look like every other engineering or fabrication company.
It has personality.
It has humour.
It has a visual language.
And it has a reason for people to stop scrolling.
Recent Facebook performance has exceeded 68,000 views, with views up around 118%, 3-second video views exceeding 7,000 and watch time up around 167%.
Approximately 99.6% of those views are from non-followers.
That is a powerful indication that the content is reaching well beyond the existing customer base.
CLIENT TESTIMONIAL
“KERBY® started with a product idea, but I wanted it to become a proper local brand. XDC.NZ built everything around that idea — the identity, website, photography, SEO, social content and the personality that makes KERBY® different. It’s been great watching a hyper-local Selwyn brand get noticed by thousands of people who didn’t even know we existed.”
Clint, Founder, KERBY.NZ, Christchurch
KERBY.NZ takes a similar approach but turns the geographic dial right down.
The brand is deliberately hyper-local, focusing on Selwyn and surrounding areas including Rolleston, Lincoln, West Melton, Prebbleton, Pegasus and Ashburton.
XDC.NZ manages the Wix website and social content, creating the visual material, campaigns and brand voice that make the product instantly recognisable.
The results have included more than 71,000 views, more than 4,000 3-second views, increased watch time and more than 99% non-follower reach.
CLIENT TESTIMONIAL
“Clint has been an amazing marketer of my website at an affordable price. He updates my SEO regularly, keeping my website relevant to Google. His insights and knowledge is outstanding. Thank you Clint. I love that I can leave this part of my business in your hands and see the amazing results of your dedication in my business.”
Linda, Klox Business Solutions (Klox Ltd) — Bookkeeper, Christchurch
Klox is a local bookkeeping business using RocketSpark.
XDC.NZ manages the SEO and ongoing digital visibility, keeping the website working as an active business asset rather than simply leaving it online.
The graphic design principles still matter: clear communication, consistent presentation and making sure the business looks credible wherever customers encounter it.
PROJECT OUTCOME
“The Boulevard’s website was showing its age. XDC.NZ took on the challenge of bringing an antiquated SilverStripe site up to modern standards without throwing away the existing platform. The website was completely revitalised with new photography, improved structure, content, SEO, local optimisation and ongoing technical management. Within around six weeks, website traffic was up an extraordinary 991% — turning an ageing website into a much more effective digital presence for this Christchurch retirement village.”
Karen, The Boulevard Retirement Village, Christchurch
The Boulevard retirement village is another example of graphic design and content working alongside a website transformation.
The existing SilverStripe website had become dated and difficult to work with.
XDC.NZ undertook a substantial WEBSITEfix, including content, imagery, structure, SEO improvements and a complete photography project covering the village and its units.
A drone photography series was also commissioned to provide marketing imagery.
The website became more than an online brochure. It became a proper visual representation of the village.
The work continues to be monitored and refined, with significant increases in website performance following the changes.
PROJECT OUTCOME
“XDC.NZ helped take Linens & Treasures from a home-based online business to a genuine retail presence at Barrington Mall. Managing the Shopify website alongside the social media presence, the focus was on keeping the brand active, visible and commercially useful across multiple platforms. Within a year, the business had moved into a physical mall store and grown to the point of employing additional staff.”
Jill, Linens & Treasures, Christchurch
Linens & Treasures began as a home-based shop.
XDC.NZ manages the Shopify website and social content, helping Jill move from an online/home-shop operation into a physical retail presence at Barrington Mall.
This is another example of the same principle:
Design isn’t decoration. It’s business communication.
From website graphics to social content and ongoing digital presentation, the brand has to work wherever the customer encounters it.
These projects demonstrate why XDC.NZ doesn’t treat graphic design, websites, SEO and social media as separate silos.
A graphic designer who understands websites can design better web content.
A designer who understands SEO can create more useful pages.
A designer who understands social media can create content people actually stop to look at.
And a designer who understands business can connect all of those pieces.

Melton Estate wine and food lifestyle imagery supporting the brand, packaging and marketing created by XDC.NZ
It is something customers can hold, see, pick up, photograph, display and remember.
PROJECT OUTCOME
“Melton Estate is a long-standing XDC.NZ brand relationship spanning more than 25 years, with the original brand identity continuing to evolve across wine labels, packaging, print, signage and marketing. XDC.NZ designs and refines the labels and packaging that give each wine its own personality while keeping the wider Melton Estate identity connected and recognisable. From bottle labels and wine presentation through to promotional material and physical signage, the design has to work as part of the complete winery experience — on the shelf, in the cellar door, at the table and across the wider brand.”
Phillip, Melton Estate Winery — West Melton, Canterbury
Melton Estate Winery is one of the long-standing XDC.NZ relationships.
More than 25 years ago, XDC.NZ created the Melton Estate brand as Phil established the vineyard and winery.
From the original identity came a wide range of supporting design work.
Tri-fold brochures.
Rack cards.
Wine labels.
Wine bottle photography.
Posters.
Signage.
Website assets.
Marketing material.
The design has evolved as the business has evolved, while maintaining the recognisable character of the brand.
Wine labels are particularly important because the label becomes the customer’s first physical interaction with the product.
Photography is equally important.
Rather than simply photographing a bottle, the objective is to create an environment and visual mood around the wine — food, people, place and experience.
XDC design of the new presentation folder (unfolded)
It is something customers can hold, see, pick up, photograph, display and remember.
PROJECT OUTCOME
“Stack Electrical had stopped using its old presentation folder because it was basic, flat and simply wasn’t doing the business justice. XDC.NZ used the direction and visual language of their new website as the starting point, then developed a much stronger presentation folder designed to give Stack Electrical the professional edge needed for quotes, tenders and client presentations. The finished folder was presented as a 3D visual so the team could see exactly how it would look before production, then printed locally in Christchurch. The success of the folder led directly into a wider suite of six Capability Statements covering Bitumen, Breweries & Distilleries, Commercial, Generic, Hydrogen & Biogas and Industrial work — making tender preparation faster, easier and far more consistent.”
Stack Electrical — Christchurch
Stack Electrical came to XDC.NZ because their existing presentation folder wasn’t doing the job.
It was basic, flat and uninspiring.
In fact, they had allowed the folders to run out because they weren’t getting used.
Using the new website as a visual foundation, and working closely with the director, XDC.NZ developed a completely new presentation folder.
The design was presented as a 3D visualisation so the client could see how the finished folder would look before committing to production.
They loved it.
The project then expanded into six Capability Statements covering:
Suddenly tenders became much easier to assemble.
The company had a consistent visual system, professional presentation and a set of documents that could be selected according to the opportunity.
Local Christchurch printing was also arranged at a highly competitive price.
Custom die-cut PlaceMakers Star designed by XDC.NZ for staff recognition and workplace morale
PROJECT OUTCOME — PlaceMakers Staff Recognition Star
“PlaceMakers needed something more meaningful than another piece of generic staff recognition material. XDC.NZ created a custom die-cut star-shaped piece for in-house use, designed around the idea of recognising staff who go “over and above”. The front features the PlaceMakers brand prominently, while the personalised section can be torn away along the perforation, written on and displayed on the staff noticeboard. The other half becomes a presentation piece for the staff member being recognised. Even the “gold” effect was created within the artwork rather than relying on expensive foil finishing, keeping production practical while still giving the piece the visual impact it needed.”
PlaceMakers Christchurch — Internal Staff Recognition
Sometimes, packaging and product design aren’t about selling a product.
It’s about selling an idea internally.
For PlaceMakers Christchurch, XDC.NZ designed a custom die-cut star-shaped piece for staff recognition.
The front incorporated the PlaceMakers branding and a perforated section that could be removed.
The employee’s name could then be written on the piece and displayed on the staff noticeboard alongside a note explaining what they had done “over and above”.
The other section became a presentation piece for the staff member.
The challenge was producing the appearance of gold without relying on expensive foil production.
The artwork was therefore constructed to visually simulate the gold effect while retaining the practical production requirements.
A simple piece of paper became a staff recognition system.
Packaging, labels and presentation material have one thing in common:
They have to work in the real world.
They need to look good, reproduce properly, suit the production method and communicate the right message at the point of contact.
That’s where 25+ years of practical graphic design experience matters.

Selection of complex newspaper graphics for TV listings, weather, stock exchange, TAB, and horse racing
They’re about making something complicated work.
Clint was head-hunted into a rolling contract arrangement and worked with MetService Christchurch for around 30 years.
The work expanded into highly specialised information graphics for newspapers and other media organisations.
The first major challenge involved television listings.
Custom templates were developed for different newspaper clients and connected to database-driven production systems.
The process involved:
A user could select a date and client, push a button and, after processing, receive a populated newspaper-ready graphic.
The work expanded beyond TV listings.
TAB betting graphics.
Super 12 Rugby graphics.
Horse racing.
Greyhound racing.
Stock Exchange graphics.
NZX and ASX information.
International market indexes.
And eventually highly detailed weather graphics.
The weather work required complex combinations of data, icons, maps and visual hierarchy.
The objective was to transform huge quantities of technical information into a graphic that a newspaper reader could understand quickly.
This work sits at the intersection of graphic design, information design, production technology and programming.
InDesign became increasingly programmable, particularly through AppleScripts.
The production process became increasingly database-driven.
That meant the designer needed to understand not only typography and layout but also how the information itself was structured and how it travelled through the production system.
The resulting graphics had to be attractive, accurate and production-safe.
PROJECT OUTCOME — MetService Newspaper & Data-Driven Infographics
“For more than 30 years, XDC.NZ was trusted with some seriously complex information — turning huge volumes of weather, racing, financial and television data into clear, production-ready newspaper graphics. Working with MetService, newspaper publishers and developers, I helped create systems that could take structured data, process it through database-driven workflows and automatically populate carefully designed templates for publication. The work evolved from TV listings into TAB Super Rugby graphics, horse racing and greyhound information, NZX and ASX stock-market graphics, and eventually highly detailed MetService weather maps and full-page newspaper graphics.
The challenge wasn’t simply making the graphics look good. They had to be accurate, repeatable, technically robust and understandable at a glance — with production teams able to sanity-check the data before publication. It was a rare combination of graphic design, information design, database thinking, automation and production knowledge.”
MetService / NZ & Australian Newspaper Graphics — XDC.NZ
Modern digital design has made information even more complex.
Dashboards, websites, data visualisations, AI-generated content and automated publishing systems all produce enormous quantities of information.
The fundamental design problem hasn’t changed:
How do you make complicated information easy to understand?
That’s information design.

Filathonites website created by XDC.NZ for Peter Howarth and his Mount Athos pilgrim maps
Filathonites needed a professional WordPress website to present and sell its Mount Athos pilgrim maps.
The product itself is highly specialised:
Mount Athos Pilgrim Maps — The Holy Mountain
The maps document ancient footpaths, monasteries and sketes across Mount Athos.
The challenge was taking something that could easily feel niche, complicated and inaccessible and turning it into a clear, credible online proposition.
XDC.NZ built the WordPress website and developed the content and presentation around the maps.
The transformation was not simply cosmetic.
The website became the sales environment.
CLIENT TESTIMONIAL
“I discovered Clint, and got him to do a revamp of my website, that had been unchanged for some 10 years, when we thought that it was looking a bit tired. One of the most encouraging things that happened was that Clint took a real effort to try and understand what our business was about, rather than just as a straight commercial enterprise. This was extremely refreshing and he was able to contribute in ways that showed the benefit of taking this approach. I would thoroughly recommend Clint is approachable, quick, and makes a real effort. Thanks Clint!”
Peter, Filathonites, Christchurch
The project is a good example of what happens when specialist knowledge, good presentation and a properly structured website are brought together.
Before: A specialist product needing a professional digital home.
After: A worldwide sales channel.

Original supplied concept for Rolleston Community Gardens signage
Final Rolleston Community Gardens teardrop flag signage designed by XDC.NZ
Being part of a local community means occasionally putting professional skills to work where they can make a difference.
The Rolleston Community Gardens project began with a rough sketch and a committee with a vision.
The challenge was turning that early idea into something that looked inviting, recognisable and professionally considered.
XDC.NZ worked through the visual communication fundamentals:
There were meetings, discussions and plenty of explaining why things needed to sit where they did.
That’s part of being a professionally trained designer.
Sometimes the job isn’t simply making something look good.
It’s explaining why it works.
The final direction used a friendly colour palette, approachable typography and a more compelling visual identity.
The result was signage that felt like it belonged to a community garden rather than looking like a generic noticeboard.
XDC.NZ also kept the costs as close to cost-plus-GST as possible to help the community project achieve the result without unnecessary expense.
CLIENT TESTIMONIAL
“As we all agree, it’s Design No. 4 that’s come up trumps, so can you please start the ball rolling so to speak. If you send me the invoice I’ll ensure it gets paid asap. Thanks for all your work on this to date.”
Bruce — Rolleston Community Gardens Committee, Selwyn
Clint has also been involved in the Selwyn business community for many years, including establishing the Selwyn Business Group in 2011.
Community involvement is part of the wider XDC.NZ philosophy:
Good design should be accessible, practical and useful — not reserved for businesses with enormous marketing budgets.

TheRampMan.NZ stacked master logo created by XDC.NZ as part of the complete brand identity.
TheRampMan.NZ laser-cut logo integrated into an 8mm aluminium ramp, connecting the brand directly to the product.
XDC.NZ helped establish the business from the ground up.
Logo.
Brand identity.
Website.
SEO.
Google Business Profile.
Social media.
Graphic design.
Content creation.
Brand voice.
Marketing.
And ongoing digital management.
But the project developed into something bigger.
TheRampMan.NZ manufactures access ramps in New Zealand.
The business has developed innovative products using recycled vehicle tyres alongside aluminium.
Instead of relying solely on aluminium, recycled rubber can perform structural and cushioning functions in specific ramp applications.
That means less aluminium can be required in some designs while giving discarded tyres another useful life.
The business also actively looks at the waste produced during manufacturing.
Aluminium swarf is recovered.
Packaging is recycled.
Composting and recycling are part of the operation.
Even the workshop concrete has been vacuumed to recover aluminium swarf rather than allowing it to simply disappear into the environment.
The business is also investigating bio-epoxy solutions for binding recycled rubber crumb.
LoadBeam™ recycled rubber wedge shown independently to reveal the foundation of TheRampMan.NZ full-height road ramp.
LoadBeam™ recycled rubber wedge with 8mm aluminium plate fitted on top, showing the complete full-height ramp concept.
The design challenge was to make sustainability part of the brand story without making the business look worthy-but-dull.
TheRampMan.NZ needed personality.
It needed humour.
It needed a distinctive voice.
It needed to make engineering approachable.
That’s where graphic design, CRE8Vfix and BUZZfix became just as important as the physical product.
The brand now has a recognisable visual and verbal ecosystem across its website, social media, products and marketing.
CLIENT TESTIMONIAL
“We’re constantly looking for ways to do things better for the environment. At TheRampMan.NZ, we recycle and reuse wherever we can, from turning old car tyres into strong ramp components rather than sending them to landfill, to reducing aluminium use, recycling our offcuts and packaging, and keeping our workshop waste to a minimum. Even the aluminium swarf gets vacuumed up rather than ending up in the environment. It’s not about claiming to be perfect — it’s about finding better ways to make things, one ramp at a time, and keeping as much waste as possible out of the environment.”
Clint, Founder, TheRampMan.NZ
The sustainability work has also been recognised by the Selwyn responsible business community.
XDC.NZ itself was a Gold Winner in the Selwyn Responsible Business Awards 2019 for Community & Environmentally Sustainable Business Practices.
The philosophy continues today through local suppliers where practical, sustainable printing methods, bio inks, recycling and responsible production.
This is where graphic design connects to something bigger.
“A brand isn’t just what you say about a business.
It’s what the business actually does.”

Melton Estate Winery 2026 rack card front, designed and refined by XDC.NZ.
Melton Estate Winery 2026 rack card back, continuing the brand and marketing system developed by XDC.NZ.
The relationship began more than 25 years ago.
Phillip had purchased an existing restaurant and vineyard operation and needed to establish a distinctive identity and communicate what the business could become.
XDC.NZ created the logo and began developing the supporting visual material.
The early marketing included a tri-fold brochure communicating the vineyard, winery, restaurant, and experience.
That artwork was then adapted into rack cards for the venue and flyers for local distribution.
The objective was to create awareness around the region and encourage people to discover the venue.
Over time, the visual story developed.
Wine.
Food.
People.
Weddings.
The vineyard.
The restaurant.
The experience.
The same design thinking flowed into:
The tri-fold has continued to evolve over the years, with new photography and updated content keeping it relevant while retaining the underlying identity.
Melton Estate signage illuminated at dusk, with the winery restaurant and vineyard setting providing the backdrop.
Posters near the doors, and the illuminated Icon on top of the building in the gable.
The packaging needed to feel like the brand.
The signage needed to feel like the brand.
The photography needed to feel like the brand.
The brochures needed to feel like the brand.
The website needed to feel like the brand.
That’s the real value of a connected Brand Pillar approach.
Graphic design isn’t simply one thing you order.
It is the visual glue holding the customer experience together.
The website may have been built by another member of the family, but XDC.NZ supplied the visual assets and supported the business with SEO and design input.
PROJECT OUTCOME — Melton Estate | Brand Pillar Connector
“Melton Estate is one of the clearest examples of XDC.NZ’s Brand Pillars working together over time. What started more than 25 years ago with the original brand identity developed into a connected suite of graphic design, print, signage, photography, packaging and marketing material. XDC.NZ created the original tri-fold brochure, then adapted the artwork into rack cards, posters and other promotional pieces as the business grew. Wine labels and packaging extended the brand onto the product itself, while photography, signage and environmental graphics carried it into the winery and restaurant.
The brand has continued to evolve rather than being repeatedly reinvented — new photography, refreshed collateral and updated promotional material keep Melton Estate current while maintaining the identity people already recognise. It’s a great example of the value of having one designer who understands the brand across multiple touchpoints and can connect the dots between them.”
Melton Estate Winery — West Melton, Canterbury
The relationship continues.
That’s perhaps the strongest testimonial of all.
A brand created more than two decades ago can continue to evolve without losing its identity when the underlying design thinking is strong enough to support it.
One brand. Many applications. One connected visual language.
That’s XDC.NZ.
