It’s been a long time since we last spoke. We’ve been busy building websites: designing them, coding them, writing content for them and sending them into the big wide world. Here’s a rundown of some of our newest developments.

November 24th, 2011 by Sam
We understand that a new logo can seem daunting, as the logo for your business typically appears across your website, uniforms, marketing communications and on all your sales collateral. So, at Orion, we work with you to make the process simple, from design through to implementation. Here’s how we did just that for Electra-Loom. Read the rest of this entry »
Why your website isn’t about you
November 22nd, 2011 by Jen

What is graphic design…and where is it headed?
October 31st, 2011 by Mark
In non-geek speak, graphic design is used to assist businesses in developing communications tools to represent them. Telling the crowds we are engineers or artists is a little misleading, we are in the business of communicating business. User-interface is becoming more commonly user-friendly and communications are being unified to send consistent messages to the consumer. Graphic designers make messages easier to digest and unify business messages.

September 22nd, 2011 by Mark
With 4 sporting divisions (Netball, Cricket, Little Athletics and Soccer), over 1500 registered players, and each sporting division boasting their own committee, the Rouse Hill Rams has evolved from an idea at a local pub, into a unique sporting model not seen anywhere in Australia.
Orion has sponsored the Sports Club since inception in 2006, and along with a handful of genuine sports mad Dads and Mums, have helped shape its dynamic setup into a recognisable sporting service provider within the Hills community.

Keeping up with the Joneses.com
September 16th, 2011 by Ben
You know the feeling, your neighbours get a new car so you gotta get a new car. Your neighbours get a big screen TV, so you gotta get a big screen TV. Your neighbours get a website that uses the latest in web technologies, so you gotta get a website that uses the latest in web technologies.
