Please check these
A few details we'd like you to confirm or correct before the site goes live.
-
Putzmeister reachYour current site says it can pump "1,000 meters vertically or horizontally". The new site repeats this. Is that right, especially the vertical figure?Fleet section · hero stats
-
"Best for" on each machineEach fleet card says what that pump suits best, such as "High-rise walls, big slabs, long set-backs" for the 38 m. These are our suggestions, so please change anything that doesn't match how you use them.Fleet section
-
Line Dragons descriptionDescribed as being "for hard-to-access, long line jobs, keeping the crew working safely without manual hose hauling". Is that how you'd put it?Fleet section
-
Experience and projects"100+ years combined experience", Christchurch Airport and New Brighton Pier all come from your current site. Are they still accurate? Any other projects you'd like to show off?Hero · Projects · About
-

What's needed to go live
Once the details above are confirmed.
- Where booking requests should goConfirm the email address for new bookings (for example duncan@martyspumps.nz). We'll connect the form so every request lands in that inbox.
- Access to martyspumps.nzYour domain is registered with Crazy Domains. We'll need a login, or for you to change one setting, so the address points to the new site. Your email isn't affected.
- Final contact detailsConfirm the phone number (021 225 5871), email and address (211 Ryans Road, Christchurch) shown on the site.
- LaunchWe remove the green "Preview" bar, let Google list the site, and switch it over. Your current site stays up until the moment the new one goes live.
Until then: the preview isn't listed on Google, and its booking form doesn't send anything. Anyone who tries it is shown your phone number and email instead, so no booking gets lost.
