New Website Launch - Chimanimani Tour Guide
Visiting Chimanimani in Zimbabwe in 2017, I met our amazing hiking guide Colin. If you've ever been to Zimbabwe you know they are struggling terribly and I decided that if I could help out Colin I would. So once I got back to Australia I started gathering everything I could to build his new website.
You will notice that the website is reasonably pared down and has no large images or video. This is primarily as its really hard to get reliable internet in Zimbabwe and most users will be using their phone. Even travellers will probably not start looking for hiking or bird watching in Chimanimani until they are in the continent so it was very important that the website rendered well on mobile devices.
The colours are based around Colins Rasta personality and of course the green ties in well with Africa.
If you are ever going to Zimbabwe, consider Chimanimani and hike up the second highest mountain in Zimbabwe, which actually straddles the border of Mozambique so unwittingly, you visit Mozambique during your climb.

About Jenny
I started my IT career in Database Administration and .Net coding. While I LOVED that work, I realised very quickly that I also wanted a life. To be a top end coder or DB Admin, you have to comit your downtime to constantly learning and evolving and while that is also something I love, I wanted it to be my work and not my life. So I morphed my love of design with my knowledge of all things SEO and moved into building small business websites.
Why small business websites? I'm a small business myself and I know how hard it can be so I wanted to give my clients a great service, with an approachable point of contact where no question was a "stupid question".
