Projects
Here is a selection of recently-completed projects. We would love to add new ones, so if you have something that you think we might be able to help you with, please contact us!
The Motor Report Auto News Blog
Steane and Mike of The Motor Report have been building a big following for their Australian car news blog, with great writing and comprehensive coverage of all things auto. They outgrew their off-the-shelf Wordpress template, and Mike (TMR’s design conscience) had some really strong ideas on where things should go next.

dogstar
After suffering through unsatisfying relationships with a series of inept web development companies, boutique Brisbane fashion label dogstar came to us with a tight budget and brief: We were to tie up the loose ends left by prior site attempts, build a website they could update themselves, and help them to reach their fans around the world with a simple, cost-effective online store solution.
Within 2 days of launch, the dogstar online store had sold enough clothing to cover its development costs! Now that’s connecting a business with its market.

DJ Tech Tools Store
Ean Golden is a respected deejaying trailblazer. He writes for Remix Magazine as the digital deejay specialist, works showing off new technology for Vestax, and runs his own little slice of the web at DJ Tech Tools.
When Ean needed a hot-looking store to sell the ultra-limited VCI-100 mixer, he worked closely with Cal, who designed the shop and integrated the modern shopping cart solution Foxycart.

Medici Concerts
Medici Concerts is a small Brisbane-based concert series promoter, who specialise in piano music. For their 2008 series, Cal designed a new-look, simple website, with an emphasis on typographic arrangement. All content is displayed clearly on the front page, and the Javascript library JQuery is used to display further concert details in a modal window. The design uses the Blueprint CSS Library for the basis of the layout.

Ten Pound Crew
We have long-admired the Ten Pound Crew - putting on successful events in Brisbane is no mean feat, and these guys do it with seeming ease.
They needed a site to integrate with their extensive mailing list, and to sell tickets to events. They also wanted a sophisticated image gallery to show pics of their latest parties, and notify punters of upcoming gigs.

Flowershop Australia
We have been working extensively with Flowershop, helping them to grow their business in the online sphere. They are excellent at what they do - delivering the freshest flowers all around Australia!
Basing their site on Zencart, we have made extensive customisations to the code that allows Flowershop to get on with what they are best at - giving people flowers!

Monaux
Our good friend and OxygenKiosk collaborator Karl needed to spiff his portfolio site up, fast!
So we helped. It’s super simple, super clean, and showcases Karl’s super imagery perfectly. This redesign was featured in graphics sites worldwide within hours of being launched.

Home Staging by Anne
Home Staging by Anne needed an informational site to promote their home staging and organization business and fast! So we went oldschool, crafting an simple, clean XHTML/CSS based site with some of our cleanest code ever, and utilizing the fabulous Lightbox image presentation scripts.

Sidechain Music
Boutique Brisbane promoter Kris-Ko needed to showcase his posse of DJs and live electronic musicians. With high profile events looming it needed to be fast and sleek, so we hooked him up with the MODx content management framework and some seriously fast design and code, turning out a new site in record time.

Sporting Images Australia
One of Australia’s leading independent sports photographers, Duane Hart has shot everything from famous Olympic Games truimphs to primary school athletics carnivals. He had amassed a truly impressive archive of commercial, editorial and local sporting images but was tied to an unwieldy, proprietary photo selling system. Sporting Images needed a new, flexible solution to allow their online business to expand.
Four months later: Duane now has almost 300,000 images available for purchase online and is expecting to break half a million by July.
