Completed Website Design Projects in 2005

FCSWC has three accommodation facilities on the east coast of NSW, Australia. FCSWC are affiliated with around 55 clubs throughout NSW and club members can stay at FCSWC facilities at below-market rates. The style of accommodation is self-contained with the focus on "affordable, family holidays".

Carl Dumbrel approached me to make a small web site for his accounting and financial services practise in Sydney and the Gold Coast. This site sits in a market with well known brands like Ernst & Young and KPMG. Have a look at those sites.

(revised) Kathy & Paul Fancourt's web site started life late in 2001 with the previous Park owner. We re-designed the site recently to add new photography, new pages and make the site stretch to take up all available screen real estate. The basic colour scheme has been preserved. In the design I have tried to bare out the pool and riverside aspect of the Park.

Formerly a section of www.hungryheadstudios.com, new owners Max & Brenda have given this excellent holiday accommodation business a higher profile with a site that focuses on the bush and seaside aspect of the property. The wave and seagull suggest the sea side, while the banksia flower and dam suggest bush. This property is sure to do well in the self-contain family accommodation market.

This holiday accommodation based in Victoria's Highcountry offers two accommodation options: a self-contained cabin and guesthouse accommodation in Harrietville. With instant access to the outdoors and particularly Victoria's alpine area, this web site offers the perfect all-season retreat from the city.

This property is listed for holiday rental with LJHookers of Bellingen. This basic 2 page web site is designed to attract attention outside the usual holiday rental marketing offered by real estate agents. In that respect it is similar to www.yambagetaway.com.au. Both sites email the owner and the agent concurrently. This way the owner has some way of knowing what kind of leads the agent has received. LJHooker report good interest in this property resulting from the website.

Gary and Tim first contacted me to do search engine submission work on their site in January 2005. I knew at that time the site was written poorly and was unlikely to attract much attention from search engines.

Kombu Wholefoods opened in Bellingen in September 2004. Since then owners Kevin and Lowanna Doye have established a vibrant wholefoods grocery with an intimate, family feel. The nice excellent on this site is the work of Kevin Doye. Ecommerce services are on the way. Kombu uses Microsoft's Retail Manager. We have written synchronisation software for Retail Manager to interface it to the Kombu website.

A small self-contained, accommodation site conveniently located close to the Pacific Highway immediately north of Urunga.

Owner Dugald Anthony had a very specific brief for this site - make it minimal. Plain, clean lines. Let the photography and fittings stand out. The resulting design (below) is the fifth iteration as more and more detail and colour were thrown out to make the final result. The photography (supplied by Dugald) was specifically set up in a retro "polaroid" frame. C~shack offers "a pop cultured holiday accommodation" experience. The many paintings, posters, textiles and fittings make up the theme.

(OWNER EDITOR) Cathy & Ron run a guesthouse with two styles of accommodation; homestay and self-contained. With expansive grounds and no expense spared on decor, Bonville Lodge offers guests private, quiet areas for dining, bathing or just reflection. Aware of established accommodation sites in Coffs Harbour it was important to Cath & Ron to get the presentation and image just right.

The second only RSL sub branch to get a web site - contract won by Dynamic Web Solutions! This straight forward site details the Port Maquarie Sub Branch's services and activities. The text is larger and on plain white to favour older visitors, although the main audience for this site may well be the adult children of veterans exploring local resources on behalf of their parents. Logo supplied by the Sub Branch.

Ideally situated in the Hunter Valley, Getaway Inn offers "affordable luxury" guesthouse accommodation. Like Bonville Lodge above, Getaway Inn's owners recognised they are entering the accommodation market with many established players... many of who have excellent web sites. Uniquely, Getaway Inn offers package tours and group bookings. Photography supplied.

Coming soon.
