MMVII, both in a personal and employed capacity, has worked with a number of both high-profile and small-scale clients.

The beauty of the philosophy of MMVII, to "make the web work" is that no client, big or small, is just that: too big or too small.

In essence, each client is treated with the necessary respect to maintain their website needs efficiently and in the quickest turn-over time possible.

The main client is The Sharks (Pty) Ltd. The website www.sharksrugby.co.za has been at the forefront of rugby club websites since inception in 2001, by no coincidence, under the guidance of Michael Marnewick, the talent behind MMVII.

The website look and feel, as well as the day to day maintenance of the site is directly controlled by Michael.

The website prides itself on a high turnover of content, news articles uploaded on a daily basis.



According to Alexa.com which monitors web traffic, Sharksrugby.co.za has an international traffic rank of 434986, which is more than 50 000 places ahead of its next rival.

In the Super 14, the Sharks website, in comparison to its peers, is far and away blazing a trail, the leader of the pack. This is the kind of successful content management that has made Sharksrugby.co.za the best website of its kind.

It's also no coincidence that the second best South African rugby club website, the Lions, was also run by Michael Marnewick during the course of the Super 14 and Currie Cup from 2007!

Along with the two rugby franchises, Michael has worked with the IRB (International Rugby Board) for the Rugby 7s competition, as well as two IRB Under 19 World Championships.

Other work has been undertaken on behalf of clients including The Canoeing South Africa Federation, Vodacom (Vodacom Durban July), Canon (Canon Gold Cup), SuperSport Zone and SA Rugby (Matchday Programme) as well as Newspapers (The Mercury, The Sunday Tribune, The Natal Witness) and radio stations (5FM and ECR).

A variety of other small clients have also enjoyed the services offered by MMVII, and if you would like to discuss your website needs, please don't hesitate to contact us.
