Advance Australia Fair

Out of love for my home country – Australia, I’ve completed a new website (through creativearm government web design) eschewing its ideals via the Australian National Anthem: Advance Australia Fair, its a Love Job, and it’s not going to pay the bills, but considering what’s out there are the moment, something modern and lively was crying to be made. +Plus I only spent a few days on it, not bad?

I’m well pleased that Aussiebodz, a Brisbane Spray Tan company, which I worked on its SEO campaign has made it to the top of Google for “brisbane spray tan” its core business description, as well as a few other phrases; The company (perhaps as a result of its prominent ranking?) was approached by Extra on Channel 9 to do a segment on fake tanning which aired on friday the 3rd of October. Well done Aussiebodz.

Embassy of El Salvador United Kingdom and Ireland

Recently we completed the website for the embassy of El Salvador in the UK and also Ireland in English and Latin American Spanish. El Salvador is a small republic in Central America.

The site is rich in content and imagery that it almost doubles as a tourism site for the Republic – as usual the content it was designed for Google to pick it up quickly as it has done.

As this is a government website, there was great importance put on accessibility, there is graceful degrading for the evil IE6 browser, as well as some performance bells and whistles for compliant browsers via the use of jquery.

The embassy staff were lovely to work for, and they are very happy with their project.

Brisbane Spray Tan

Just completed the initial for Brisbane Spray Tanning, a website for Aussie Bodz Spray Tan. Essentially, I took a WordPress site and made it static. Since I chose a WordPress theme that was perfect, all really had to do was edit the banner and add some branding. I set up the Search Engine Optimisation, with sitemaps, and analytics plugins, suggested a list of SEO based content for the client to write, and that was a wrap. 2 days was all that took from start to finish, a real win considering the clients minimal budget. Have a peek at BrisbaneSprayTan.com.au for yourself.

The Humaniser

Because the same is boring.The Humaniser is essence a sentance randomiser. Often in the the web we tend to place certain blocks of text on similar or the same pages, causing the text blocks to be repeated time and time again. Wouldn’t it be good to actually change the wording of text slightly in each repetition, so that each successive repetition of a sentance means the same thing but is worded somewhat differently. With a little setting up, this is exactly what the humaniser does.Although It was actually programmed for the needs of a Dragon Search Engine Optimisation client, SEO is not it’s only use. Other uses include creative literature, games, and collaboritive writing.To use the humaniser just follow the instructions:

Create or select a “flow” – Because the Humaniser can be used in multiple instances, by multiple clients, each instance is called a flow, you can name your own flow and come back to it later.
Think of what you want to say; you will need to pre-plan what you say to get the most out of the flow.
ACROSS: Start typing your first flow. In each field you can put as many or as few words as you want, each field represents a different part of the flow that will be randomised.
DOWN: Now for each field you will supply a number of alternatives, some fields may not need an alternative, but some will benefit from dozens, in this stage remember that the random options are not line by line, or even word by word, but are field by field.

Play with the Humaniser prototype and leave us some
