We Do Websites
We have been building websites since 2000, and responsive websites since 2013. We have extensive experience building and tailoring content management systems and eCommerce.
We make websites, but we don’t make bloatware.
Instead, our sites are manageable, reliable, portable, and most importantly, able to be edited by you, with zero technical prowess needed!
We have been using the OpenCart ecommerce platform since the early version 1.4 days.
From years of experience we know how to customise OpenCart for sometimes quite challenging requirements, such as setting up a particular look, or adding complicated freight calculations.
And yes, we have extensive experience with the Journal theme for OpenCart!
We can host as well as build your site for you, or assist with an existing site elsewhere, or even port your current site to our server to look after for you.
We also offer consultation services. These include suggestions on layout and advice on how to use a blog for increased search engine optimisation.
One especial skill we have comes from something very few developers actually do themselves — running our own online stores selling physical goods!
We have broad experience in the packing and shipping of a range of items from prints to trees (yes, really!), and can offer tips and suggestions for your own business.
We also offer a maintenance service for any existing OpenCart site (with or without the Journal theme) hosted elsewhere.
Concrete CMS is a great piece of software that makes editing your own site an absolute breeze!
This is a real drag-and-drop interface with everything editable live on-screen — much like a word processor but far more interactive and visual!
With zero coding skills required!
Full support and hand-holding provided wherever needed.
We also offer a maintenance service for any existing Concrete CMS site hosted elsewhere.
Silverstripe CMS is a very powerful content management system great for sites that generate pages on the fly from the same data entered over and over.
For example, we have used Silverstripe to create Art Gallery pages, ‘Our Sponsors’ pages, and Animal Sale listings.
In these cases the client would enter (respectively) thumbnail images of their artwork; or sponsors’ logos, business names and website addresses; or photos and information on their animals for sale.
Silverstripe would then generate a page which displays these details in any layout required.
Full support and hand-holding provided wherever needed.
We also offer a maintenance service for any existing Silverstripe site hosted elsewhere.
We Do Print and Publishing
We have many years of professional printing experience behind us, having provided printing services since 2002 of both digital (RGB) and offset (CMYK) printing.
We can provide the high-resolution CMYK files for you to give to your printer of choice, or we can do everything required from file layout to delivery of printed product.
We have prepared and organised the printing of business cards, flyers, brochures, booklets, magazines, and banners.
