Website case studies
How Hello Better Digital redeveloped Snow NZ in record time, ready for the winter ski season.
The first snow sport website in New Zealand, Snow.NZ went live way back in 1995. Launched to keep snow sports enthusiasts up to date with what was happening on the mountains, it rapidly became a hub of ski field updates, event listings, and snow sport reporting. In its heyday it was seeing over a million sessions each winter and grew a vast social following and email list to match.
SKOPE hired Hello Better Digital to manage their website but ended up building bespoke digital tools too.
SKOPE makes commercial refrigerators. Think bar beer fridges, food display counters, ice makers and blast chillers. If you're enjoying a cold drink right now, there's a good chance it was chilled in a SKOPE fridge.
