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.
Devine Caribbean
Devine Caribbean Property and Housing Services rents out a collection of houses in Residential Villa Park Fontein.
This still-growing park is located in the rural part of Curacao, but still near to all possible comforts.
The private villas are available for short-stay as well as long-stay visitors.
The website of Devine Caribbean has a clean, no-frills design with many pictures of Curacao and the villas
themselves. On the site visitors can see whether or not the houses are available and make a reservation straightaway.
The pictures of the houses in the site were made by
Daphne Photography
and the texts (Dutch & English) were done by Elaine Marchena.
HSMAI Curacao
Since 2006 Curacao has its own chapter of the Hospitality Sales and Marketing Association Internal (HSMAI)
as the first Caribbean chapter. Since that time they have been very busy with organising events, workshops
and discounts for their members. The board of HSMAI understands the added value of the internet and wanted
a new website to better show this.
HSMAI's new website combines several techniques and functionalities in one. It has a blog, automatically
loads HSMAI's three official Twitter feeds, allows people to sign up for the newsletter using AJAX and it
uses modal dialogs for the photo gallery. The design of the website is clean and modern with obviously
Caribbean touches. The puzzle flash animations are made to be slightly disconcerting and give visitors
an 'aha moment'.
Carmabi
Carmabi stands for Caribbean Research & Management of Biodiversity. They provide facilities and logistical
support to upwards of 70 visiting researchers and graduate students per year, manage nine protected areas on
Curacao and run an educational program reaching about 12,000 school children per year. Carmabi is the
organisation that makes sure Curacao's unique nature is preserver and the people are educated about it.
This new website is the first of six that we are building for them. Carmabi.org will be the main website where
people can find information about what they do and what Carmabi stands for. The other five websites will focus
on specific areas of interest (the Curacao marine park, education, the research station, Christoffel Park and
the Savonet Museum).
