Roxy Surf School
Overview
Roxy Surf School is a girls only surf school and club located at Muizenburg in Cape Town. Roxy Surf School is part of the Roxy brand which falls under the umbrella of Quiksilver. The task was to build a website to create a wider awareness for the company as well as to create an intimate online space for the young female surfing community of Cape Town to interact.
Responsibilities
Hit Delete was responsible for the entire project, including front end design, XHTML and CSS coding,
PHP programming, content management system integration, newsletter management integration. A custom tide chart script and WAP compliant content management system was developed for this website.
Brand Identity
The Roxy brand is specifically focused on young girls in their tweens and teens; the brand feel is very fresh, youthful and feminine. The website had a to incorporate the complete identity of the Roxy brand while still contributing its own unique elements that make up the Surf School sub brand - most important of these elements is a friendly and inclusive community atmosphere.
Strategic Challenges
Roxy Surf School had a corporate responsibility to comply with various central design elements that make up the main Roxy brand. The main challenge this project posed was meeting these requirements while still defining a unique Surf School sub brand and meeting the community driven goals of the company.
What really impressed me was that their service did not stop once the website was complete. Rob has been working with me continually maintaining the site, updating it and assisting where ever and when ever I need him! Day and night he is just one email away! It is great to know there are people there for you when you need them most. Definitely the right guys for the job! Thanks again Rob and Hit Delete.
