Silverstripe

Sunny Side Up was one of the first companies to adopt the Silverstripe CMS. This proved to be a good decision as in the years to come, it got adopted as the New Zealand Government CMS of choice. We feel it is a great tool for medium-sized websites that require a unique brand experience.

As part of our commitment to the Silverstripe open source community we have published close to 400 Silverstripe Modules and we are adding new ones regularly.  

We offer a range of services in Silverstripe CMS, from custom projects through to website audits, security patching, e-commerce, hosting, and upgrades.

Craft CMS

While we are specialised in Silverstripe CMS, we also have plenty of experience with the Craft CMS.

Wordpress

We have done a fair amount of work with Wordpress. WordPress can deliver a lot for a small budget, but it is harder to customise and maintain.

Ecommerce including Shopify

We build e-commerce sites in Silverstripe CMS and Shopify. Read more about your shopify and e-commerce expertise. 

Sunny Side Up is also a Shopify Partner and we can help you work through the more complex Shopify challenges. 

Shopify is a pre-built e-commerce platform that allows shop owners to set up an online presence without much work. It works beautifully from day one: all you need to do is load your details and start selling. 

Front-end development

We have worked with tools like:

• Webpack
• VueJS
• React
• NextJs
• Svelte

Web Accessibility

At Sunny Side Up, we believe in the importance of an internet accessible to all. By adhering to guidelines and best practices from the start, we guarantee that all users can seamlessly navigate our sites. Accessibility is a core aspect of our design and development philosophy.
