Australian Book Wholesalers Warehouse

Australian Book Wholesalers

http://www.austbw.com.au

Australian Book Wholesalers wanted to market their unique product range using both web and print solutions. There are plans to make the website data driven within six months. In the meantime we've put Flash and the S5 slide show to work to deliver dynamic content.

ABW receives new stock almost every day so a database would be really useful. When the time is right we'll use Sequel Server and Cold Fusion to put their entire inventory online and deliver a custom CMS.

Launched in August 2007

Adyar Online

http://www.adyar.com.au

Adyar Online is the website of Australia's largest and longest established metaphysical and alternative bookstore. I worked with Boldacious Web Design to rebuild their website to allow Adyar staff to update almost any part of the website quickly and easily. The shop is busy at all times so updating had to be quick and intuitive. Search capabilities were updated considerably and navigation improved throughout.

Provision and Management of Content

http://www.brumbybooks-music.com.au/

This website was built by 36-400, an IT consulting firm in Melbourne. While it's core functionality is solid the Brumby M.D. approached me to assist with the broadening of content - both jackets and descriptions. He also wanted to see some audio content introduced as well as further enhancements to allow his staff to add content on an ongoing basis. All of the above has been achieved - the client is really pleased. Now we just have to get to work on standards compliance ...
