What we can do for you
This list is by no means exhaustive – please contact us with any specific requirements and we’ll talk about how we can help you!
- Web design adhering to Web Standards
- We can construct your site using semantically valid XHTML and CSS, ensuring that people requiring the use of screen readers or other helper technologies will be able to use it. Designing in such a fashion will also ensure that search engines will be able to read your site! This gives you better search enine rankings. Other companies charge thousands of dollars for “search engine optimisation” an additional package. We believe that your site should be built correctly the first time around!
- Installation, modification and personalisation of open source web technologies
- We’re all about open source. We’ve been forced to work with way too many expensive, inflexible, commercially produced systems in the past. When given the choice we prefer to work with free software such as Wordpress, Zen-Cart, Gallery, Textpattern, MODx and, (if pushed) Joomla/Mambo.
- Consultation on internet-related matters
- We spend a large proportion of our lives on the internet. We read a lot, and have a good idea of what is happening in the digital world. Before you make that next big investment in the online world, you should chat with somebody who knows what they are talking about.
Who Are We?
We are Jaymis Loveday and Callum Wilson, web developers from Australia (Brisbane & Sydney, respectively). We have worked together for a company that we felt represented the worst side of the Internet, with a complete disregard for design aesthetics, web standards, accessibility or ethics.
So after leaving the company we joined forces and are now offering our talents in the marketplace. If you’d like to find out about how we can help your business, please get in touch, or have a look at our latest projects.
Ads For Your Blog: Simple Code for Calling OpenX’s Single Page Call Within Wordpress Using current_post
Advertising is one of those “necessary evils” of the web, and of non-ecommerce blogs in particular. For blogs which aren’t associated with a particular product or revenue-generating business, advertising is the main way to pay the bills. It’s not something which generally enhances a site, but we try our hardest to ensure that it’s not [...]
Spammers, Evildoers, and Opportunists, or: Why Oxygen Kiosk doesn’t offer SEO Services
I had a chat with a new client the other day about why we don’t consider “Search Engine Optimization” an optional extra, or even a service that we offer.
This morning there was a great string of posts on Merlin Mann’s twitter:
If you’re “insulted” by criticism of SEO, go write a novel or work at a [...]
Open Migration: Rescuing Content and Images from Squarespace
We’re currently helping our clients at Dubspot migrate their blog from Squarespace to a new system which will be built around a multi-user setup of Wordpress.
Squarespace’s propaganda goes on about “Total Data Portability”, and how “your data is yours to keep”. However, when it comes to moving to another system, there’s no automated method to [...]
