about Oryx
Oryx Technologies has been involved with web design, development
and search engine marketing for over 20 year , as well as
business marketing, so we understand how to create a web site
that works for your business and your target market.
Our main office is in Northland and we have people in Christchurch
(our home town), and Auckland. We work with clients
all through New Zealand and overseas.
We use content
management systems a lot (WordPress mainly) and we also design
static websites if you really prefer. In both cases we make sure
your website is built to gain the best possibile visibility for
you on the internet - there's no point in having a website if
no-one can find you!
We love working with our clients and we love our business.
What does Oryx mean?
We are often asked where the name Oryx came from and what it
means. It's as simple as this:
"o·ryx [awr-iks,
ohr-]
noun, plural o·ryx·es ( especially collectively
) o·ryx.
1.
a fleet footed large African antelope, survives harsh conditions,
Oryx gazella, grayish with black markings and having long, nearly
straight horns: an endangered species.
2.
gemsbok.
Origin 1350–1400; Middle English < Latin < Greek óryx
pickax, oryx
When we first established Oryx, most of the web related names
had already been used and, in any case, we didn't want to follow
the herd! We liked the sound of the fleet footed and the surviving
harsh conditions - and it was certainly a unique name for a web
design company.
