Prestige Ford Curacao
Prestige is the official Ford dealer on Curacao since 2008. They share the premises and facilities of
Caribbean Motors (Curacao's
Mitsubishi dealer) enabling them to deliver full service from the start.
The website for Prestige Ford is, as can be expected, all about cars. Most of Ford's models that are sold
on Curacao are tough, manly cars and the website reflects this. It uses bold colors, high-quality pictures
and zoomed views and all the technical details of the cars are there.
The texts in the website were written by Elaine Marchena and the photographs come from
Ford International.
Taylor Made Virtual Assistant
Julia Taylor is a Virtual Assistant based on Curacao. A Virtual Assistant is a home-based professional
who performs a wide range of office functions without actually seeing the client face-to-face every day.
Julia uses the internet in all sorts of ways to collaborate with her clients on all sorts of projects,
ranging from secretarial work to DTP to business planning.
As a part of her promotion Julia needed a small website to be able to have a 'face' online. Many of her
clients know her through the telephone and email but because it becomes more and more important to have
an online identity she wanted a website as well. This is the result.
Jan Thiel Beach & Plaza
Jan Thiel Beach & Plaza is a cooperation of companies, active in the area around Jan Thiel Beach
on the east side of Curacao. These companies are working hard to develop the Jan Thiel Area into an
all-round touristic region for local visitors, as well as tourists. The key word in the way they handle
development is sustainability and they aim to create synergy between tourist activity and nature.
The design for this website was handled by
Bas Kok Creatieve Communicatie,
the texts are by Elaine Marchena and we built it.
Fun Miles Loyalty Program
Fun Miles is thé saving and redemption program of the Netherlands Antilles. Their card holders can
save points at dozens of shops on Aruba, Bonaire, Curacao and St. Maarten and redeem these points at even
more shops on the islands. Every few months they have special campaigns during which you can save more
points at certain shops or go to special events at highly reduced prices (paying with your Fun Miles
points of course).
The people of Fun Miles needed three things: a new design, a clearer information structure and full control
over the website's content. Their new website has all these as well as improved SEO and some special features
that are supposed to come online when marketing calls for them.
For this website we used the
CMS Joomla 1.5
and incorporated their own card holders management system in the site.
Container Leasing Antilles
Container Leasing Antilles (CLA) is a young, fast-growing container leasing company based on Curacao. They are
taking advantage of Curacao's location right between the markets of North- and Latin America as well as the tax
structures we have here.
CLA's main objective was to have a website as a continuation of their brand (modern and no-nonsense), so their
new website is small and concise and geared mostly towards lead generation.
Kooyman Gifts & Garden
Kooyman Gifts and Garden is the garden and interior design store in the Kooyman Mega Center on Zeelandia,
Curacao. They sell everything to make your home and garden a place you feel at home in.
Lifestyle is the brain-child of Raoul Strous, marketing manager at Kooyman Gifts and Garden. It started
as a radio program on
Radio Hoyer,
which he presented together with our own Bo Schillemans, which grew into a local television show, a loyalty
program of Gifts and Garden and this website.
The idea of the website of Kooyman Gifts & Garden is to become thé source for people on Curacao
looking for garden and interior design tips and to showcase the store's products. This is carried through
in the design as well as the structure of the website. The look & feel is fresh and clear and we hope
that this, and the many photographs, will inspire the website's visitors to try out new things and to make
the best of their home.
This website was created using the new
Joomla 1.5 CMS
with a custom-made template, a custom homepage and many alterations to the code to accomodate for Raoul's special
wishes. Updates to the website are handled by a third party.
Dutch Caribbean Towing & Shipping
The only viable way to transport building materials like sand, gravel and such around the Caribbean is by sea.
With all the building going on in Curacao and the other islands this means that this transport is big business.
Dutch Caribbean Towing and Shipping (DCTS) is a new player in this market, but due to their years of experience
in the industry and their contacts they are well on their way to becoming a major player.
The design for this website was made by
Bas Kok Creatieve Communicatie
who also did their housestyle, DGF developed the website and the photographs are by
Eef Photography and
Daphne Photograpy.
Vista Montaña
Curacao's housing market is currently booming and houses are being built everywhere. One of these,
upscale, projects is Vista Montaña. This new suburb is situated in Banda 'Riba (east side
of Curacao) and is promising to become not only a good place to live but also a great investment.
The project developers,
Promotora Projects,
have built parks and resorts in Bonaire before and this is already their second project in Curacao.
The design of this website was created by
BKCC Creatieve Communicatie
(our strategic partner) and we developed the website from their design.
New World Shipping
One of the benefits of the tax policies of The Netherlands Antilles and Curacao is that it is profitable to
register your ship here. Your ship not only gets to carry the Dutch flag but it will also profit from the local tax laws.
One of the oldest companies that delivers this service in the Dutch Caribbean is New World Shipping.
The people of New World Shipping asked us to create a no-nonsense website for them with only a few pages in
the frontend. The backend though had to allow ship owners whose ships are registered through New World Shipping
to have easy access to the various forms and documents associated with their ship. This means that ship owners
can login, download the forms they need and they even receive an email when their documents are almost up for
renewal. So, this new website is not just a good-looking online brochure, it's a functional tool.
The photographs used in this website were made by
Eef Photography.
Constellation Offshore Recruitment
With Curacao becoming ever more popular - not only for tourists but also for financial institutions - our
island needs more people to do the work. Constellation Offshore Recruitment, originally from Australia, is a
recruitment company specifically targeting the accountancy/trust/legal market on Curacao, Bermuda and the
Cayman Islands. They just opened their satellite office on Curacao and asked us to build the website for
this office.
The website is very straightforward with a lot of information for people looking for employment or employees
on Curacao, Bermuda or Cayman. The design is functional and business-like without forgetting that we're
talking
tropical offshore financial centers.
EzoneDesk
Curacao has always been a good location to establish companies. Besides a skilled work-force Curacao has
all kinds of financial, legal and service-oriented businesses. Since 2001 we also have the so-called e-zones
which, simply put, allow the companies established there to pay less taxes.
EzoneDesk is a company which offers services to companies looking to be established in one of these e-zones.
Their services range from tax advice to internet services.
The website for Ezonedesk is built with the
CMS Joomla
with some added functionality like a custom frontpage and a dynamic news application.
Curacao Ports Authority
Curacao has many harbors and ports and these all fall under the management of the Curacao Ports Authority
(CPA). This makes the CPA one of the largest companies on the island and consequently also one of the companies
that produces the most information. This new website is the corporate website and is focused mainly on this
goal; to supply interested parties with a central source of information.
The web design needed to convey two concepts: the Caribbean (specifically Curacao of course) and a professional
attitude. We have tried to accommodate this with fresh colors, high-quality island photographs and a clear
structure for a lot of factual, up-to-date information. In the near future the current, static content in
the research section of the website will be replaced with dynamic information straight from their database.
Caribbean Motors
Caribbean Motors is the local Mitsubishi dealer on Curacao.
It is one of the oldest car dealers of Curacao and was the first
car dealer with a, for that time, modern website. Their former
website had gotten heavy and difficult to manage, so they asked
Dragonfly to create a new web design for them. We gave the entire
website a big design overhaul.
The web design is now completely up-to-date and the design adheres
to the international Mitsubishi standards.
Regimac Glass Windows & Doors
Regimac is one of the forerunners on Curacao when it comes to
innovative, open and service oriented business. They asked Dragonfly
Media to redesign their website and to add more functionality
to it. Regimac plans to use its website to the fullest in conjunction
with the extension of their services to Bonaire, Aruba and St.
Martin. With the help of this new website
and an internet marketing campaign they plan to corner the Caribbean
market for security windows and doors.
In March of 2009 we created a new logo for Regimac and gave the website a new layer of paint and a tune-job as a resul of their changed formula.
