Xava Digital is a full service digital development, design and marketing firm headquartered in Christchurch, NZ. We love what we do, and so will you. Does it?

The Xava Digital Story

In the beginning, there were books. On the 8th day, Al Gore created the Internet. And it was great. Hang on, that doesn't sound right. Well actually, the story isn't quite as simple as that, but what we have ended up with is just about as magical as if it had been created by a higher being. The internet actually started out as ARPANET, a single connection between computers

at UCLA and Stanford on October 29, 1969, and has it has gone from strength to strength since then. We'd go so far as to say that the Internet has changed the world forever. You now have access to several billion pages of information at the touch of a few buttons, in fact you can even earn a perfectly legitimate bachelor’s degree without ever leaving your house these days. Xava

Here at Xava, we're very passionate about technology in general. We absolutely love the stuff! Most people would probably consider us "nerds" or "geeks', we agree. Although those terms have typically been used in a derogatory way, times have changed, they are now just terms that describe an ever increasing segment of the population. We do a lot of geeky stuff here, but one of the things we are most passionate about is web-based technologies, design in particular. In 2006, while at University as an adult student (studying for a Bachelor’s Degree in Mechatronic Engineering), our principal began toying with web design and development as a hobby. His interest was sparked by the literally unlimited potential of the technology. From there he continued to follow his interests, hone his skills and develop his passion for beautiful web design and development. Once he graduated, our principal decided to follow his new found passion and build a business based on his passion, and so Xava was formed. Xava Digital

Xava Digital is the web design and development centric division of the Xava Group Ltd, a firm whose interests firmly lie in two main areas of technology, both with a common theme. Creativity. We love to create things that enhance people’s lives, whether that be beautifully crafted websites, web-based applications or consumer electronics. What We Can Do For You

Lest we forget

Give a Trap was featured prominently on Stuff & in the Herald today and we're seeing a steady flow of trap donations coming in from all over the country.

It's inspiring to see kiwis getting in behind the project and the positive messages surrounding it.

Have you checked it out yet? I'd love to hear your feedback.

Penny Willocks, who spent her career helping people fight cancer only to die from the disease at 38, left $10k for a predator-free project that was still forming in her mind.

It's not often that you get to be part of something that has such massive potential to change the world we live in. I'm super excited to see kiwis get in behind it and contribute to bringing back our native species that are struggling under the weight of the introduced predators.

Give a Trap is a platform built with React, NextJS and Node which connects community trapping groups with donors and facilitates the fulfilment of the donation to make it easier than ever for Kiwis from all walks of life to contribute towards a predator-free New Zealand.

Whether you're involved in a trapping program or you want to support a great project, you should get in behind this amazing initiative. https://giveatrap.org.nz

I had an interesting conversation today with one of our clients who had unfortunately lost a large client of theirs due to their need for a custom API integration. Our client, whom we do white-label work with, was under the impression that custom API integrations weren't something he'd be able to offer his clients as he thought it might be something that only the big players in the market could offer. He was happy to hear that he was wrong.

Custom API integrations can provide massive value to your business, especially when you are dealing with uncommon platforms or require specialist functionality that is not available from off-the-shelf providers like Zapier. Depending on what you're doing, the implementation of a custom integration could literally be saving you an entire employee's salary. Not only is there a huge potential upside from the savings, but also an opportunity for you to stand out from your competition from having a more seamless tech stack, providing deeper integrations, or doing data processing as it passes through from one platform to another.

I take pride in our ability to develop custom API integrations that are tailored to meet the unique needs of our clients. Whether it be connecting an ecommerce store with your favourite POS software, or enabling you to have more comprehensive data visualisation in real time, a custom API integration that works seamlessly with your existing systems will give you greater flexibility and control over your data.

I understand the importance of staying ahead of the curve in this fast-paced digital age. That's why we offer our clients a comprehensive range of services, including custom API integrations, to help them stay competitive in their respective industries.

If you are looking for a reliable and experienced partner to help you integrate your business tech stack seamlessly, look no further than Xava Digital. We can help you build custom API integrations that will take your business to the next level.

In February I made a trip to Wellington to meet with a new client who is taking over the management of a project I've been working on over the last 6 months.

I can't give away too many details right at the moment, but this fantastic project is an ambitious concept that is sure to do some great things in New Zealand. It's one of those things that when you hear about it, you wonder why it doesn't already exist.

The project will be officially launched later this month and we're excited to see it fulfil its potential by being affiliated with, and promoted by, the household name that is taking it over.

We'll reveal a few more details after the official launch, but for now, I can reveal a few technical details. It consists of a frontend website built with NextJS for improved SEO compared to other Javascript frameworks, an admin web application built with React, and a backend built on NodeJS with a MongoDB database. The entire platform is served up using AWS S3 and Elastic Beanstalk which allows us to easily scale up if the project proves to be as popular as we hope it will be.

It is super exciting to be involved in a project like this. I'll make a further announcement when the official launch date comes and I'm allowed to share a few more details of the project.

Hint: the image on this post is a vague clue.

I could spiel off a long list of buzz words that describe what Xava Digital does, but I like to keep it real. Plus, I don't want to bore you just yet.

I strive to see the businesses I work with reach their full potential, and I get a kick from seeing my clients succeed off the back of my work.

I build web applications, hybrid mobile apps for Android and iOS, and websites using a range of technologies depending on the specific needs of the project. Specifically, the technologies I use include React, NextJS, Angular, Ionic, Wordpress & WooCommerce but I'm always willing to be agile and use the right tool for the job.

One of the community projects I help out with.

Xava Digital has been with us since we first came up with the concept of a trail run to raise funds for our little rural school. Generously supporting us with everything from our website and registrations set up, to medal design, graphic design and general support and advice, David has been brilliant. We truly couldn’t do it with out him and XavaDigital. Thank you, David for everything you do!

Avenues magazine recently featured an article about a project we're involved in.

Fanatical apps have been designed to improve the fan experience around sports events whether you're attending live, or watching from home. They increase opportunities for brands to engage their fans in a meaningful way, and build more fanatical fans.

The concept is easily adaptable for all sorts of large scale events from sports, through music festivals, to wine and food events, and much more.

Check it out!

Congratulations to Matt & Ata, newly minted indoor sports centre owners.

They recently purchased the Howzat indoor sports centre here in Christchurch. We've been working hard on the rebrand to Sporting Edge Indoor Centre in the background. Just days after getting the keys the rebrand is complete and the place is looking great! Even if I do say so myself.

Looking to freshen up you brand or signage in 2021? It can be a great way to get attention for your business and stand out from the crowd.

Congratulations again team. I can't wait to see how all the exciting things you've got planned take shape once you open your doors in the new year!

Thanks for the props

The demand for click & collect and delivery services is at an unprecedented level! Is your business filling this need?

I have been working with a few businesses to help them refocus the way they do business online. Both Robbie's Riccarton Sports Bar & Restaurant & The Addington Farm needed to implement an ecommerce system to deal with the new demand, and the Canterbury Rams wanted to be able to offer an online training course.

If your business is in need of the ability to make sales online, get in touch and see how I can help you.

I've had a little time on my hands recently, so decided to help out a local organisation that's doing some good around here.

The Addington Farm have been operating since 2018, and are on a mission to "connect people, support our place and grow great produce". They have been supplying local restaurants, but given the recent tumultuous times, they needed to figure out how to sell direct to consumer with no contact and make it as easy as possible for both parties.

I have set them up with a brand new website and ecommerce platform that will help them achieve their goals now and for future growth.

Check out their brand new website at https://addington.farm

If you, or someone you know, is in need of some help taking their business online to be able to operate efficiently in the post-lockdown climate, maybe I can help.
