We've come up trumps again, with a third Avatar bride in as many years. (Honestly, what us girls do to put the 'smart casual' look aside for a day!)
This year's bride is Tara, who got hitched to Dave (he of the very hirsute frame) in a fun-filled wedding celebration in Christchurch this month. For those who are interested, the bride wore white and the groom wore aftershave.

The Brief — The Yellow Pages Group approached Avatar to commission a re-design and complete rebuild of their existing directory style Web site aimed at seniors in New Zealand (www.seniors.co.nz). The brief included requirements for a brand-centric design, easy to use search facility, search engine friendly design and a comprehensive backend for use by administrators and customers.
What We Did — We spent over 300 hours designing and developing a tailor-made searchable database style Web site, which can be easily used by Yellow Pages staff to update content and add, modify and delete advertisers' listings and Web listings. We provided on and off-line documentation to give staff full system support and online instruction for advertisers. Some of the features we incorporated include:
A Real Result — The Yellow Pages Group (YPG) received a comprehensive Web solution ahead of schedule and completed in accordance with a highly detailed technical specification (written by our programming team). The Web site is ranking in top positions on search engines such as Google for 'retirement' related keyword phrases and blends seamlessly into the family of YPG Web sites.
