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.

Craft CMS
While we are specialised in the 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.

E-commerce / Shopify
We build e-commerce sites in Silverstripe CMS and Shopify. Read more about our 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, and Svelte.
Web accessibility
Accessibility is integrated into the design and development process from the beginning. By following the latest WCAG 2.2 guidelines, the digital presence is inclusive and seamlessly navigable for all users.
