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!
RSPCA Australia
When we heard that RSPCA Australia were looking to have their website redeveloped, we instantly knew that the project was for us (we both love animals: Jaymis actually has a pet, Cal’s apartment doesn’t allow for one).
Working very closely with the RSPCA Australia online team, we created a brand-new original layout, with a focus on cleanliness, readability and style. Navigation was constructed with a focus on simplicity and inherent findability.
All content is managed using the favourite MODx content management framework, which made deployment an absolute breeze.
Mink Home Staging
There is nothing that we here at Oxygen Kiosk love more than a well-staged house. Which is why we jumped at the chance to work with our second home staging client, Mink.
Working with a complex design, we constructed some of the best-looking html and css we’ve ever done. Sprinkled with some jQuery to drive the menus, and some other assorted delights, super sexy!
Mink runs using MODx which makes editing the pages a snap!
Norpoint
Norpoint is a specialist superannuation and consulting firm providing complete self managed superannuation fund (SMSF) solutions.
Oxygen Kiosk worked with our long-time design partner Alex Just Creative to implement this stylish website quickly.
Spectrum Worldwide
Spectrum Worldwide is a leading event management and experiential marketing company operating in the Asia Pacific. For more than 16 years, Spectrum Worldwide has created and managed tailored experiences that not only bring to life its clients’ brand positioning but also create opportunities to showcase values in a memorable and compelling way.
Spectrum Worldwide approached Oxygen Kiosk and our design collaborator, Alex Just Creative, to provide them with an entirely new website as they were undergoing major changes within their business and needed their website to reflect this.
We worked with Alex to create what has been a fantastic success: the tired, table-based design has been replaced with valid xhtml and css, the content has been rewritten from the ground up, and importantly, the content management system has been replaced with the ultra-modern MODx that allows Spectrum Worldwide staff the flexibility they demand in posting new content to their site.
We are especially proud of their portfolio page which we constructed using a smattering of jQuery and other magic.
North Sydney Yoga
North Sydney Yoga is a yoga studio on Sydney’s North side. Working with grahic designer Alex Just, they had created a new website design but had no one to implement it.
We worked closely with Angelika from North Sydney Yoga not only to implement the design (using the incredible MODx Content Management Framework) but also to help her and her team of yoga professionals learn how to utilise the web in new and exciting ways.
Lippsinc Bridal
Lippsinc Bridal is a new bridal entertainment booking company, run by Bondi resident and professional corporate dj Joseph Smith. Joseph approached Oxygen Kiosk after a recommendation from a friend - he wanted a new website to showcase the many acts he had on his books.
The new site is sexy - white and greys combine the wedding aesthetic with the modern, dance-music oriented vibe of his existing company, Lippsinc Entertainment.
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.
Handy CSS Test Cases
Over at oksushi.com I’ve linked to a number of handy little CSS test cases that I’ve been creating in my IRC time on #css.
I hope they help someone, somewhere, with a CSS problem.
Wordpress Post Image Resources
We’re doing some advanced Wordpress templating and hacking for the new version of the awesome The Motor Report blog, and trying to do some cool things with images from posts. Rather than requiring authors to manually define “feature” images, we’d like…
Magento Ecommerce
Hi everyone - I have written a post outlining the various costs we were faced with developing a large site with Magento Ecommerce over at my site.
Hopefully, some of you will learn from my mistakes!
