http://www.lindgolf.com.au Background: Lindgolf is the manufacturer of high performance golfing equipment. We were approached to design a website that would exclusively market and sell Lindgolf's wares. From golf clubs to gloves, the site is a one stop shop for all golfing needs. Our Solution: Through an extensive and detailed design process, we aimed to combine visual/graphical and functional elements to produce a website we would be proud of. We believe we have succeeded. The site went through several layout changes and facelifts before we, and the client, were happy with the overall design. In addition, we provided Lind with the ability to completely control all elements of the site through our most sophisticated and dynamic implementation of the CreativeAdmin system. While focusing on the usability of the site and trying to make the shopping experience as easy and enjoyable as possible for all visitors, we heavily modified CreativeCart and produced what we feel is one of the best shopping cart experiences online. Products/Services: Site administrators have complete and utter control over all aspects of the site including products, pricing, user administration, LivePerson, and the addition of new pages, through CreativeAdmin. CreativeCart has been employed to provide the shopping cart module and is heavily customisable through the Admin system. We have also included a newsletter dispatch system, a testimonials module, a custom-fitting module and a number of other expandable options. The site is hosted on our CS Server and is proving to be enormously successful.

http://www.hoj.com.au Background: House of Jewellery (HOJ) is Australia's leading supplier to the jewellery industry of Tools and Equipment, Display Material, Presentation Packaging, Pricing Products, Lighting, Watch Service Tools, Findings, Books, Optical Products and much more. HOJ approached us needing a revitalised online presence, as well as an effective way to manage their thousands of products online such a way as to allow quick and easy searching, addition and removal through a simple admin system. Our Solution: We have created a stylish layout to spruce up the general areas of the site. Using a powerful customised version of CreativeAdmin, pieces of CreativeGallery and even some of CreativeCart, we have created a very clever and unique way of representing HOJ's massive product database. After scanning each page of the catalogue, we have allowed site administrators to associate various item types to various pages, which will allow quick searching and display of the catalogue pages. Through the administrative pages, administrators can then add, remove or edit the catalogue database as required. Users will be able to produce a printout of the products they wish to purchase to bring into the showroom. Products/Services: Customised version of CreativeAdmin coupled with CreativeGallery allows catalogue manipulation. CreativeCart allows printouts. Completely unique layout and graphical interface. Site will be hosted with CS Server.

http://www.kidcouragoeus.com Background: Kid Courageous has become one of Australia's most successful punk rock bands. With their huge fanbase going wild for their music, the band needs to be able to communicate their image, music and thoughts quickly and easily. Our Solution: After supplying us with a flash-based layout, we were asked to provide a simple yet powerful backend to the Kid Courageous website. This administrative section, using a modified version of our CreativeAdmin product, allows the band to update their site, communicate with street teams and send out newsletters quickly and effectively. In addition to this, Kid Courageous asked us to create a customised and unique forum for their fans to use to communicate with each other about the band and other interests. Using our CreativeForum product, we were able to transform what used to be a popular, yet unsophisticated tool hosted on free boards, into a true one stop shop for fans of the band. Products/Services: Custom-built functionality, including a newsletter dispatch system, allows the site administrators to keep fans up to date regarding the latest KC band news and gigs, using CreativeAdmin, while CreativeForum allows constant communication between fans, the band and moderators. The entire site is hosted on our CS Server.

http://www.camelotcentral.net Background: Camelot Central is a centralised, community, fan-driven site based on the game Dark Age of Camelot and is one of the largest projects we have ever undertaken. It was not a paid job, but one built by us as a testing platform for our various technologies. The community needed somewhere to communicate, share stories, pictures and interact with each other. Our Solution: After designing an effective layout, we went to work on the CreativeAdmin section of the site, which allows site administrators to do anything from posting new front page news, to moderating forum posts and editing user accounts. Our photo gallery employed the latest in php-based technology, allowing thumbnails to be automatically generated and resized. We also included a myriad of other scripts: Voting Pools, Chat Servers, Statistical Data and Shoutboxes. Products/Services: Customised version of CreativeAdmin allowing powerful and effective administration of the entire site.; the first incarnation of CreativeForum, which is still running without fault today. Customised voting polls, a shoutbox, CreativeGallery, voice/chat server integration and statistical data presented for administrative analysis. The site hosted entirely on our CS Server.

http://www.matrixservices.com.au Background: Matrix Services, formerly DN Technologies, provide versatile, integrated systems including audio/visual installation and security solutions, customised for their clients' specific needs. As a technology merchant, Matrix Services cannot afford to be a step behind in terms of their webdesign. Matrix approached us needing a complete rebranding; logo, emails, webhosting, layout and customised scripts. Our Solution: We developed a unique branding system, allowing us to build an attractive website around their new logo. The website, through the use of php and a database, includes a customised version of CreativeGallery and shows off the services and products that Matrix provides. The layout was created after a number of revisions and we are extremely pleased with the results. Products/Services: Customised version of CreativeGallery; a version of our CreativeAdmin CMS, not only provides the existing functionality of the site, but also allows for expansion, including but not limited to installation tracking, customer service control, stock control and a complete product database. The site is hosted on our very own CS Server.

http://www.k-tribe.com Background: K-Tribe is a business established to import and sell unique forms of jewellery from a range of international designers. Specialising in cinnabar jewellery, K-Tribe decided to establish an e-commerce portal to accept payments and orders online. Our Solution: We designed a unique layout for the site, which was planned to successfully interact with a complex product database and allow effective display of items for sale. After designing the site, we customised our CreativeAdmin CMS and created the database functionality, which allows an administrator to add/remove/edit products, upload pictures and edit any of the pages on the site using simple text boxes. The more complex part of the site was the custom built shopping cart, CreativeCart, which allows products to be gathered and processed as a purchase through a bridge into a Paypal-driven payment gateway. Products/Services: Extremely robust administrative system: customised CreativeAdmin, customised CreativeCart; Some CreativeGallery code used to allow uploading of new photos and resizing. Site hosted on CS Server.

http://www.tip-central.com Background: After being approached to create a customised, online tipping Website, Tip-Central was born. Our Solution: Using a simple version of CreativeAdmin, the site allows users to create a user account, then make their predictions for the weekends' games. These tips are then counted, and matched against the official results. The results are compiled and used to generate a ladder, listing the most accurate tippers in order. The site allows for on-the-fly creation of gaming weeks and matches through the administrative section and has potential for expansion into other sports, multiple ladders and the like. This website also included various parsing engines, importing the news articles from official sources, and displaying them in a localised format. Products/Services: CreativeAdmin, customised layout, RSS parsing system. Expansion potential. Hosted on CS Server.

Background: JLab approached us needing a new business card designed professionally and relatively urgently. Our Solution: JLab Investments was a relatively quick job. We were supplied with the corporate logo and a selection of brochures to work from as inspiration. The image shown to the left is the business card that was submitted in the end. The design was then handed over to the printers in the appropriate formats, and the deadlines for an overseas trip were met with time to spare.
