Maven Associates are a leading civil engineering and land development consultancy, with offices located throughout New Zealand and projects spread all over the country. We designed and built their online home.
We’ve worked with Maven for several years, having created the previous version of their website in 2018. When it was time for a visual refresh, we were all too happy to work with Maven to modernise the brand and website to ensure they remain at the forefront of their industry.
Video: A full-screen background video – chosen at random from Maven’s video library – greets the user when they first arrive at the website. A sliver of whitespace is intentionally left below the video, to indicate to the user that there is more content below.
We introduced new typefaces for headings and body text. The heading font is the epitome of modern, with clean, sharp lines. Combined with high quality imagery, the overall visual presentation is one of a professional and expert company.
One challenge was that by nature of Maven’s wide range of projects, website imagery was not of a consistent size or aspect ratio. To solve this, we custom-built an image slider that adapts to images of any size, showing an on-brand topographic map design element where required to “fill in the gaps”. The result is a consistent user experience, with the image area remaining the same size as the user clicks through the various images.

Video: We built an interactive New Zealand map to showcase Maven’s nationwide reach. Users can select a Maven office from either the list or the visual map, with both updating in sync when the user clicks.
