Production partnerships

If you need additional delivery capacity or capability, our development team has perfected working in partnership to deliver great websites.

An effective, efficient process

You want your clients to have a positive experience as well as get a great result. Our process bolts onto yours, without duplicating effort and without things falling through the cracks.

The biggest challenge isn't each agency delivering their bit, but working together to deliver the whole project successfully.

Clarity over scope and budget

This is super important for successful partnerships. Our approach gives everyone clarity around scope, cost and timelines at different times in the project.

Importantly, our ability to accurately scope and estimate our work allows you to understand what you're getting into before committing anything to your clients.

Sometimes this needs to be pinned down early in the project. Other times, we can use our roadmap process to explore different options, collaborating to fit everything into the budget and timeline.

Confidence in delivery

Our production partners trust us to deliver every time. This allows them to focus on delivering the part of the project they are responsible for, knowing the end result will be a good one.

Production partnership work

Following are just some of the projects that we've delivered as part of a production partnership, or in collaboration with a creative or design agency.

  • Plan Partners

    With creative by our production partner versa.agency Haunt provided back end development on the Plan Partners Drupal website.

  • Coastguard New Zealand

    Our AKQA's New Zealand studio needed a partner to develop a mobile application for Coastguard New Zealand to take the pressure off Coastguard’s manual trip reporting processes (which receives more than 250,000 trip reports a year). They designed an application that was visually appealing and fun, but that also included some critical technology that had to work when it counted.

    We used the incredibly versatile React Native to bring their design vision to life. Our client-focus and attention to detail gave our client the confidence that they could deliver.

    The app was downloaded 4,500 times in the first three weeks and has continued to show strong uptake among the boatie community, and was a finalist for a prestigious design award.

  • Ministry for Primary Industries

    Our long-term relationship with MPI and their flagship website has included upgrading their site to the latest version of the Common Web Platform, and applying great designs by Gusto Design to update the site’s look and feel and useability.

  • Victoria University Open Day

    Created by Hardhat (Melbourne) and developed by Haunt in time for VU’s open day during one of Victoria’s many lockdowns. The web app, which included 360 degree video, allowed prospective students to immerse themselves in the university, explore areas of study, and more.
