We just finished another website, this time for Total Equipment Group. TEG specialises in sourcing and running the right machines for the mining and heavy construction sector.
New Website: Hear the Children
Hear the Children provides specialised therapy, free-of-charge, to hearing impaired babies and pre-schoolers.
Orion provided Hear the Children with a free-of-charge content managed site, so they can continue doing their great work with hearing impaired babies and pre-schoolers.
It’s just a nice, warm, baby-smelling story all round…sorry, got a bit clucky there.
New website: The Great Australian Petfood Co.
We’ve just finished a website overhaul for The Great Australian Petfood Company. The response so far has been very positive:
Well done it looks really good, we are stoked. The feedback we have been receiving is brilliant!
Scott Arnold, National Sales Manager.
The morning after launch, the first sales enquiries came in, and they’ve been pouring in ever since. It’s a testament to the effectiveness of that modest bit of web technology—the enquiry form.
SEO… Serious Business. Seriously.
More and more often we are asked to help a website we design get to the first page of Google.
The acronym that will help you get there is SEO… SEO stands for Search Engine Optimisation. Search Engine Optimisation is all about making your website get found on the internets.
So… how do we get to the first page* on Google?
Richer web ads
There are normal flash ads on the web, and then there are rich media ads. No doubt, you’ve noticed them on sites like SMH and NineMSN, but you might not have known what they were called. These are the ads that show you a video on roll-over, or appear over the top of content, or even—in the case of an Avatar ad I saw recently—grab the whole bloody website, and shove it down in simulated 3D so they can show their own page above it. That’s cheeky! But it makes you notice and, as Ben would say, go “Ooo!”
PDK Corporate Events
Another new site’s gone live today, this time for our friends at PDK Events. We’ve been working together for over 10 years, and it was about time we gave them an upgrade.
Somfy Cup
Somfy approached us to create an online trade competition. It would be driven by an extensive online portal and content management system. Sales reps would log in and register their sales to be in the running to win some—excuse my French—bloody good prizes…oh, oui oui!
Firefox 4 now available
Our favourite web browser has had a huge new update! It was released last week and already has over 35 million downloads – 35 million people can’t be wrong!
The Complete Package
Over the last few months we’ve been working to revitalize the Complete Electrical brand. Starting with a brand new logo – a playful combination of the C and E on a bright, aqua coloured background along with a more mature typeface. From there, we created business cards and letterheads along with specialist service books and email signatures.
How Orion helped the donations skyrocket!
Back in late 2010 we were approached by two lovely ladies from Hear the Children (after they saw what a great job we did for Wings Away) to work on the Tour de Hills website.
The Tour de Hills is a charity bike ride event held every year to raise funds for the Rotary Club of Castle Hill and they pass on the donations to their selected Charities. This year the major charity was Hear the Children, a not for profit organisation that helps hearing impaired children and babies to learn to talk.
Small businesses can use video on their website too
The internet… wow, you’ve got so much to offer, one of those things is pictures of cute cats with words written over the top of them using incorrect grammar, another thing is video (I know that there is more, but this blog can’t go on forever). You’ve seen videos of people doing ridiculous things on the Internet.
Google Chrome 9… Another reason to stop using IE6
Google has updated the stable branch of its Chrome browser to version 9. The latest stable release brings in many features Chrome beta users have been enjoying for several months, including Chrome Instant, WebGL support and access to the Chrome Web Store.
