The website design should be based around a furniture theme and look antique.

The colours are to match those of the company. That being Purple and Yellow / Orange.

The ability to manage all products being displayed on the website is required. Additional pictures of the shop inside and outside should be incorporated onto other pages, such as the Home Page.

Creating an antique theme presented no problem and utilizing furniture as the basis of that theme was the chosen idea, however the issue is that the company name (and chosen font and colours) do not really blend in that well as they are considerably more modern looking.

Creating a clean design layout and also incorporating a mixed layout website.

This means that some pages are using a fixed width layout, while others such as the product manager where numerous products are displayed on a single page, is using a variable width layout.

This allows the website to use all available browser / screen width where possible when displaying pages that could potentially include a large amount of content, but then for when a product is displayed, or a page that has a known amount of content is displayed, the website will revert back to a fixed width to ensure continuity and ensure the page is displayed as intended.

This is just one of the features that we can incorporate into any website design. There is no need to be forced into one layout design or another. Where appropriately they can be combined.

The Website should focus around the photo of the building and the colour scheme should be complementary. That being, the same Blue / Orange as the building paint scheme.

The ability to manage all products to be displayed online, plus the ability to manage photos for a photo gallery.

Creating a clean design layout and now for the first time incorporating a mixed layout website.

This means that some pages are using a fixed width layout, while others such as the product manager where numerous products are displayed on a single page, is using a variable width layout.

This allows the website to use all available browser / screen width where possible when displaying pages that could potentially include a large amount of content, but then for when a product is displayed, or a page that has a known amount of content is displayed, the website will revert back to a fixed width to ensure continuity and ensure the page is displayed as intended.

This is just one of the features that we can incorporate into any website design. There is no need to be forced into one layout design or another. Where appropriately they can be combined.

The website should match their rebranding to ensure consistency with their printed material. All logos and colours should match as close as possible.

Banner / slideshows are to be incorporated onto the required pages so that additional pictures and information can be included without taking up too much space on the website. Each picture should be clickable where required to redirect to a more detailed page.

A Turf Calculator needs to be created to help people calculate the quantity of turf required

To develop a website to match their existing colours and logos. Numerous samples were generated and this was the one they selected.

Banners. We designed a banner / slideshow that can be incorporated into any page and be configured to any size for any page. This application can also allow an additional text description to accompany the picture (placed under the picture) and each picture can be clickable (made into a link) to redirect the viewer to a more detailed page where required.

The Banner application then goes one step further and allows additional content to be incorporated, such as You Tube videos or text information. This way you can group all the content together and display it on one section of the page. The banner can be paused and/or controlled manually if the viewer chooses.

A custom Turf Calculator was generated utilizing the most common area calculation shapes that you would typically find in a domestic situation. The calculator updates all the totals upon each key press and will filter what you enter to ensure only numbers utilized.

The design should be very clean and complement their unique designed jewelery but not clash with it, so subtle colours are to be used. The Company logo is black and white so center the colour scheme around that.

The home page is to comprise of a large gallery / slideshow to showcase some of the pieces they have created.

A Contact Us form that also includes options for selecting which services people are interested in.

This website went through numerous designs and samples before this current one was selected.

Utilizing our Banner Application, pictures of any size can be displayed on any page as a slideshow.

A custom Contact us form was created and as some of the options are unique to K Brothers a small help feature was incorporated so when your mouse is placed over any one of the options the help appears to provide additional information about that option / service.

To have a website similar in layout to the one we created for S.Q.A.F.C.A.

The website needs to allow information to be updated, such as committee, calendar and other key information files such as the constitution and to support the downloading of club newsletters.

The ability to manage pictures for a gallery and an application to handle the club house bookings and to display availability. The Club House has 3 units available.

Sponsors also need space on the website.

Need a clean looking website that is easy to navigate and to access all information. Many club members are not all computer literate.

Developing a clean and easy to navigate website was the first step, so the page was laid out as three distinct sections. That way the menu is clearly separated from the sponsor information which is clearly separated from the page content. Making sure the menu is easy to locate and navigate is the key and having the three sections ensures the website does not look to busy, as many websites often are which incorporate numerous columns and numerous duplicate menus.

Numerous unique applications were developed for them to manage their content. Other applications were customized to suit their needs.

The primary new application was the Booking Manager which allows people to submit booking requests for the club house units they have available for rental. This application was designed to allow easy booking request by simply clicking on the start and end date required from the supplied calendar.

The primary request was to base this new website on the same design and layout that had been previously created and used for The Country Care website.

It is to use the floating width layout and have each product page displayed similar and in the same manner as their printed catalogue. This means that each product page on the website should include the same products as displayed on the relevant page in the catalogue. Every product is assigned to Sections and each Section is divided into Categories. Numerous products are also grouped under a common product name, with others being displayed individually. The catalogue also uses different layout in different sections, with some pages only including 2 products, with others having over 9.

This presented a slight challenge for the website in that traditional Content Management Systems can't be tailored to do this. Usually they have a fixed number of products they wish to display ( per screen ) and would therefore be unable to replicate the varying number of products displayed per page that was requested. It could be possible with some additional configuration, but we chose what we considered to be a more manageable solution.

To do this we have utilized a flat file database system instead of using SQL or any other form of Database you would expect. The flat file system provides greater flexibility for each entry as it can be easier tailored to suit how that product is to be displayed on that specific page. Sure this could be done with SQL, but that is much more inflexible as it can't be adjusted "on the fly" as it requires new fields inserted into the database if you need to accommodate new details or to incorporate another design idea. The flat file system is also much faster to update and considerably easier to make changes to functionality than SQL. Of course SQL has a long list of benefits but alas none were beneficial for this task.

Numerous applications were written or adapted from the existing Country Care website. A few of the unique applications are:

Page Number Management
As each Section of their catalogue had a specific number of pages, this application allows the website to mimic the catalogue and ensure that each web page displays the same products as the printed page. So each section on the website has the same number of pages as the printed catalogue. Each section then provides a list of all page numbers it contains to allow for quick navigation to any desired page.

Product Search and Quick Selection
With so many products (586 currently) spanning so many different categories (108 currently) it was important to provide quick and easy access to a specific product, or to a specific category within each section.

A website that is clean, easy to use and reflects what the club is about.

It must allow them to update all their own content as required, such as Fish lengths and bag limits, Competition results, Club Calendar, Club Committee positions and information / news articles.

They also require the ability to implement and manage a business (traders) advertising system which incorporates expiration dates, plus have the ability to add news, information articles and photos for the gallery.

The latest addition to their website is the ability to manage and assign sponsors for each competition they conduct. When viewing the competition results, there should be sufficient ability for sponsors to include advertising.

This website required the development of several custom applications to allow them management of specific information:

• Club Directory Manager with keyword search.
• Latest Results Manager with sponsorship Manager.
• Calendar to display all events for the year.
• Fish Length and Bag Limits Manager.
• Trade Directory (Add Manager) with keyword search and also automatically handles expiration dates.
• Committee and Board Member Manager.

Another key feature is the ability for them to add articles which will dynamically appear in the Information Drop Down Menu. This allows important articles to be created that as time goes by would be relegated away from the first page in the News section. Using a dynamically updating menu means any news and/or information article can be included which means it stays "sticky" and will be available at any time, irrespective of when it was created, as all news articles are sorted by date created by default.

With each competition, there can be a sponsor. Our system allows a sponsor to be assigned plus also allow up to 10 advertising pictures to be uploaded and displayed in the banner on the competition results page. Additional sponsor logos are also placed at other key locations on the website. That way the sponsor can design advertising specific for each competition that they are involved with..

The results application processes the overall results and generates a breakdown of each section. That way people viewing the results can select to view just the section they are interested in.

To develop a complementary website that reflects their business practices, plus be easy to navigate and read.

Clean, Clear and Concise.

Eventually they wish to incorporate a Complete Self Help system that will allow people to search through the vast amount of articles and tips that will be placed online, so that people will be able to resolve many of the small repair tasks themselves. (such as rejuvenation of furniture after flood / water damage).

They have now requested that the website can display all the furniture they currently have for sale, but they want all the furniture to be easy to search and sort, so that it is easy for customers to find what they want with just one or two clicks.

A website designed around a wood theme, utilizing artwork that represents items or activities which they utilize on a daily basis.

Being only a three page layout with limited information and details, no database or additional applications were required.

Pictures can be added or removed from the gallery manually and the same is also true for the content on the Questions page.

Our Product Manager has now been installed which provides them the ability to manage all their furniture and other products they wish to display online. Additional modifications and customisation has been made to the Product Manager to support some of the requested features.

New feature currently in development is a North Side Antique Trail application which will allow Murphy's Antique Restorations to manage all the links, information and advertising for all the antique stores which are part of the North Side Antique Trail. Future features will provide the ability to search for products from any of the antique stores. All from a single web page, so people will be able to search and then directly click to view that product from that antique stores website.

Purchasing the Product Manager for my website has made a huge difference. The phone is constantly ringing and I'm selling so much furniture it's amazing.

People can now see exactly what furniture I have available for sale and using the Product Manager to update and add new items is really easy.

To produce a website that allows for numerous sections to be incorporated for each review (record) and to allow each section to incorporate a rating system.

The layout must be able to adjust or modify the content based on the viewers browser resolution (such as those using low resolution (standard definition screens like 1024 x 768) to those using full HD resolution (which is 1920 x 1080).

To utilize bold colours where appropriate, but also produce a layout that is relatively dark in appearance so as not to overshadow the content.

To be clear, clean and easy to navigate, plus have the ability to upload pictures, add new reviews and add questions / information topics.

This website is using our latest variable width design, which can adjust the number of columns depending on your browser size. It supports from 1024 x 768 upto 1920 x 1080. Higher resolutions are supported but the layout is not designed specifically to accommodate them.

For this website we have taken our Product Manager version 2 and extensively modified it to accommodate the multitude of 'Information Tabs' that each review requires.

The Product Manager allows the site operator to manage all their content. As each review can contain numerous Information Tabs, the Product Manager has been modified / upgraded to accommodate such a diverse range of review types. These tabs can be adjusted depending on the type of product being reviewed, so it will automatically adjust if a review for a Movie is being created instead of a Game. Additional support is also incorporated for other review types such as computer hardware.

The product manager comes standard with the Image Manager and Photo Gallery. Combined, these allow unlimited number of photos to be uploaded and displayed with each review and each can be accompanied by a description. These features have also been modified to support this new layout design.

To develop a website which incorporates online quoting, ordering and prescription form generation. To provide Bulk Purchase Order Requests and Quotes for customers purchasing on account periodically.

To also support all products and atleast 6 different pricing levels for each product.

Include a News and Article section as well as a Photo Gallery.

The basis for this website is centered around our Product Manager. From this they can generate their own product catalogues in A4 or A3 paper sizes (single or double sided) which can then be emailed directly to printers if required, or for download by website visitors.

The generation of Quotes and prescription forms, the management of all Return Authorities, the management of all Online Quotes and Orders and a stock control system can all be managed through the administration system. This also allows notes to be generated between staff members which can also have reminder dates set.

To create a clean, simple website that is easy to read, pleasant to look at and be designed around a pink theme and classic style wall paper textures as her interest in antiques is represented throughout the house.

To also generate an A4 brochure that can be folded into a flyer.

This website is using a floating width format to allow it to utilize all available browser width.

To develop a website that is similar to their other website (primarily based on green) to showcase their 4 main products which they manufacturer.

This website is to use a floating width format, so that all available browser space is utilized.

The design is to have minimal effects with no shadowing or heavily contoured elements.

Utilizing the same styling as seen on their existing website (which we also developed), with a few main changes such as the menu system used here is different and as their logo is quite interesting it was made to be used as the center piece of the heading, rather than a traditional method of being pushed to the side of the page.

All content is hard coded, that is, each page is of fixed html design. This concept is fine when the product details and specifications are not subject to change very frequent, and as a result, database management is not required.

This website design was provided by the customer, so we just had to develop the website to match their sample.

They chose a fixed width layout and provided all the photos.

The Property Manager was designed specifically for them to ensure the utmost efficiency in adding or editing a property. It supports all the required details about the property and can also manage numerous other aspects, such as rental / lease / sold / under contract etc. Each status can be selected from a pull down list and the manager then handles which overlay image to utilize.

Property photos can also be uploaded for each listing and the order in which they are displayed can be managed. This allows them to upload all the photos, but then choose which ones they wish to display today. (without the need to delete photos or have to re-upload them when they are required.)

To allow for fast and efficient property management numerous constant use settings are incorporated in drop down lists. All information that is available in the quick drop down lists can also be managed and changed as required. For suburb searching you can define which suburbs are to be included based on the suburb selected. For example you could configure numerous suburbs to a single region. This region (such as Gold Coast) is then displayed in the suburbs drop down list in the property search section.

To ensure efficient searching for the website viewers, only suburbs that contain an actual listing are included in the selection list and you can choose numerous suburbs.

Interactive slideshows allow all the properties to be displayed and from any slideshow you can click to go directly to that property.

The Agent Manager

To create a website that is unique and complements the type of art that he creates.

Has to be able to manage his own content, products, contacts list, biography and include a blog / news manager.

The beauty about this Brief is that Doug did not restrict us in anyway. He gave us the ability to create any style using any layout we wanted. This was great and a challenge because we were not restricted by any specific requirements, but challenging because we also had no starting point.

As we have also taken most of the photographs of Dougs creations that gave us the ability to examine the textures he uses in his art, so that we can replicate that for the website.

Designing this website provided us the freedom to create a theme and a layout that matched and complemented the style of art it was to showcase. This is the type of website that definitely represents Custom Design.

This website allows Doug to manage all the content. Each product displayed automatically includes a photo gallery and will display any photos that have been uploaded for this product. Each photo can be accompanied by an extended description. This makes the product page much more relevant as it then provides information about the actual picture being viewed.

Other features include a Links / Information page, News Articles and Archival and a Contact / Bio page. All of which include their own manager, so that the content can be changed at any time.

Due to the specific graphical layout it was decided to design this website around a fixed width format..

To provide a website so that they can manage their own content / update prices and add their own news articles, plus the inclusion of a gallery. The ability to manage the list of dealers is also required.

An interactive product slideshow to be included in the top heading section. Keep with a blue colour scheme.

The ability to change the picture on the home page.

This website is using a fixed width format and provides them the ability to add or edit: Products, Dealer Information, News Bulletins (Blogs) and Photos for the Gallery (with descriptions).

To provide a website that is easy to navigate so that visitors can choose to go directly to a specific : Page, Product or Catalogue Section.

Essentially they would like their website to emulate their printed catalogue, so that the same products which appear on each page of their printed catalogue also appear on the same page on the website.

The graphical layout to be minimalistic (no shadows, no contoured graphics, no animations and no textures) and to be primarily the same green as their company logo. The website is to utilize all available browser space (floating format).

To include a small slideshow photo gallery on the home page and have the phone numbers flashing or blinking.

First thought about duplicating the printed catalogue on the website is that normally the website is product focused, but now it has to be layout focused. This means that each product page on the website should include the same products as displayed on the relevant page in the catalogue. Every product is assigned to Sections and each Section is divided into Categories. Numerous products are also grouped under a common product name, with others being displayed individually. The catalogue also uses different layout in different sections, with some pages only including 2 products, with others having over 9.

This presented a slight challenge for the website in that traditional Content Management Systems can't be tailored to do this.

Sure this could be done with SQL, but that is much more inflexible as it can't be adjusted "on the fly" as it requires new fields inserted into the database if you need to accommodate new details or to incorporate another design idea. The flat file system is also much faster to update and considerably easier to make changes to functionality than SQL.

With so many products (586 currently) spanning so many different categories (108 currently) it was important to provide quick and easy access to a specific product, or to a specific category within each section.

Custom Order forms, DVA reissue stock control and hire order forms were developed to suit their specific requirements.

To upgrade and replace their existing website (not our design) to be more modern and to add all their new product range.

The new website layout is to be designed in a similar style to the existing website.

To Design a single page website which can display all products even when each product contains numerous photos (angles).

To change the product display depending on what product is being viewed as some products (such as flowers) are much wider than others.

To develop a unique looking website based on their primary business colours of Black and Gold.

To have their logo enter the page on a truck (animation). Make things look bold with animations and slideshows and other moving elements.
