“Rebranding and relaunching my business would have been a far bigger task than it was without Belinda’s expertise. The best thing we did was bring Belinda in right at the start where we literally had just a blank piece of paper. Right from concept design to ensuring her web site design was produced the highest standards through the web site development process.
Belinda ensured that my dream for the brand became real. Her creative talents combined with an eye for detail has given us a look we are immensely proud of and one that our clients comment on over and over again.”
David Windler, Director, The Mortgage Supply Co.
Duffy was approached to create a new identity to move the former franchise owner of ‘Auckland Home Loans’ to a new brand that he would be proud of that truly reflected his innovative and progressive Mortgage and Insurance business.
Duffy engaged a Brand consultant to run several workshops to find a new brand name and brand essence that now is The Mortgage Supply Co.

Business Cards Business Cards from Duffy Design on Vimeo.
They come into our hands same old same old business cards…
Bevin Wong commissioned Duffy Design to design a business card that broke through the ‘same old business card mould’, the solution a card that stands proud pushing its way out of its flat surface to surprise the receiver and truly make an impression.
“Belinda has been the consummate professional in all her dealings with me.
She had to produce a business card that was memorable and communicated the correct professional message to potential clients, all within a very tight timeframe. She has succeeded on all fronts, the result is a card that people have brought smiles to people and in a number of instances, contacts who have stopped to examine and play with the puzzle, which is the desired memorable effect. Well done Belinda, and thanks for the brilliant work! Bevin Wong.”
Two months before Xmas The APO sent to Duffy:
20 Violins, 7 Violas, 8 Cellos, 5 Doubles Basses, 3 Flutes, 3 Oboes, 3 Clarinets, 3 Bassoons, 4 French Horns, 3 Trumpets, 3 Trombones, 1 Tuba, 1 Harp, 3 Percussion Instruments to compose into a stunning animated online Xmas tree!
“We have had so many comments from recipients saying how lovely it is and what a pleasure it was to receive.”

Duffy has just completed the website design for one of Auckland’s leading businesses in the Transport Warehousing and 3rd Party Logistics industry Carroll’s.
The design objective:
- To communicate the history of Carroll’s, a family business with an outstanding reputation
- To let the staff ‘speak’ about their ‘love for their jobs’, hence why they have been with the Carroll’s for decades.
- Use pictures to visually communicate ‘what they do’ in an interesting way (‘Pictures say 1000 words‘)
- Highlight the ease of working with Carroll’s, that working with Carroll’s is ‘easy’, ‘they go the extra mile’, because working with Carroll’s you are working with and are part of a ‘family’.
“Duffy Design was referred to me by two other companies we have dealings with. Belinda has just completed our new website and I cannot speak highly enough of her. The end result is exactly what we were looking for. We are a Transport Warehousing Company and when we started on this project we knew the direction and feel we wanted. Belinda clearly listened, she went about understanding what we do, how we do it and why we are different. I feel this was the key and coupled with her great design ability, we received a website that doesn’t look like it has come off a factory production line. Belinda thankyou for all your patience with me.”

Cam Potts, Founder, Self Drive Holidays New Zealand
A year-long project complete!
This project utilised the whole toolkit of services we offer at Duffy.
Keyword Research for online companies:
It was really important for this business to have a great domain name ‘packed’ with keyword clients search for to find ‘Self-Drive Holidays’. In-depth keyword research was done to see what US, UK and Australians search for to find ‘Self Drive Holidays’.
From this research the domain name www.selfdriveholidaysnz.com was chosen as it cleverly contains several search terms. We also recommended an abbreviated name also www.sdhnz.com for ease of people typing in the domain name.
Branding:
Duffy created the branding for SDHNZ based a stylised steering wheel, that reads cleverly also as a mountain range and koru design. The brand was simply executed in Black and White (a key NZ palette) to ‘stand off’ the stunning images sitting behind it on the website and print collateral.
Website Strategy + Design:
This website was no ‘walk in the park’ project! The site is all custom designed page by page and custom-coded.
Duffy doesn’t use ‘out-of-the-box’ CMS (content management systems), sites like this and the majority of large sites we work on – they just don’t fit the mould. So we make the mould to fit the site.
This site cleverly holds all the ‘Things to Do’ and ‘Places to See’ in a database, allowing the client to create custom holidays that detect when he chooses a region a selection of things and places to see so creating holidays for him is easy.
We also used Google maps and coordinateas to automatically build this holiday maps.
The result a very clever website that works for the client, that he has total control of moving forward.
Duffy has just completed the brand development for Automail.

Only 12 weeks till Christmas – time to get those creative juices flowing on Christmas Card ideas.
Duffy created for Peddlethorp Architects, based in Auckland, New Zealand a custom Merry Christmas card using a video that linked from an email they sent to all of their clients.
An innovative idea – as everyone loves watching videos.
No more getting staff to sign loads of Xmas cards, paying 50cents postage, printing, paying a staff member to address them and so it goes on…
Duffy has just completed the custom web site design and development for Consultancy business CityScope.
An illustration to visually communicate what they do was designed as the banner, a cityscape with people, transport, housing and buildings, to reflect urban development a key area that CityScope Consultants address in their work.
