What we do

Compose Software is medium sized New Zealand company, specializing in website design, hosting and application integration solutions. We have been operating since 2001, with two offices, our main office located in Albany - Auckland, and the other in Queenstown. We use our vast array of technical expertise to provide a range of comprehensive solutions to suit your business requirements

Every client has different needs and expectations (be it a simple online brochure for your company, a feature packed online shop, or a complex database driven application). You can rely on Compose to utilize the right combination of technical, creative and marketing expertise to produce a website that’s stylish, easy to navigate, and is fast loading.

"A good website delivers content clearly and quickly".

It should allow you to communicate more effectively with your clients, markets, suppliers, partners and employees and improve your services to your customers, providing the content and service that the visitor would expect if they were meeting a representative in person".

Our areas of excellence include:

Website design and development

At Compose we design and build websites that you'll be proud to show your customers. Whatever your business requires, we'll build what you need so that you can relax and let your website work for you.

Application Integration Solutions

If your website needs to do anything serious it'll need to be linked to a database. Storing, searching and retrieving data is a core requirement of many websites. A website and a database make a powerful tool but it takes technical expertise to make those elements work in harmony. Database integration to the web has been a major part of many of the websites that we have built at Compose. 

Content Management System

All the websites developed by Compose include the use of our content management system Compose CMS which enables you to easily update your website content, from anywhere, at anytime, without needing to learn any code or HTML, saving you money on development fees.

Using Compose CMS is as simple to use as a standard word processor- you enter text, select fonts, bold italic and other styles. You can even insert tables and images.

Our content management system makes sure everything you add is displayed in our WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get) editor, so that what you see on the display screen is exactly what will appear when the page is displayed on the internet.

Compose CMS is also internet search engine friendly. It allows you to optimize page content by implementing important html metatags. These are used to communicate the content of the page more effectively to search engines and will help to increase the websites search engine ranking.

E-commerce Solutions

There is more to e-commerce than on-screen shopping carts and if it's designed properly an online system can make buying your products an easy and satisfying experience. Most importantly, customer confidence is vital, when it comes to asking for credit card details, customers have to feel secure. We have a proven track record in delivering tried and tested e-commerce solutions.

Intranet Design

We also have experience in building intranet solutions. An intranet typically acts as a single area to store all of your company information, (from manuals, procedures, instructions, and standards) so that everyone knows where they can find it. By hosting your files on an intranet, your employees can be confident that they are always accessing the latest version of the documents.
