Going live
In a game where it often seems that everyone’s new to it, we’ve been keeping ahead of technology for more than 20 years.
In 1978, we produced one of Australia’s most spectacular multiscreen slideshows, for Life. Be in it. Since then, we’ve made displays, films, videos, radio spots, computer-based speakers presentations, interactive games, CD-ROMs and websites. Right now, we’re even looking into holograms!
Website structure development and testing
Grandma told us, 'A place for everything, and everything in its place'. Using traditional editorial skills, we sort out the content on initial plans and functional specifications, making sure the main branches are strong enough to support the structure, and that every content item is where it should be. Often, this involves testing with potential users to ensure the structure and navigation and clear and useful.
Interactive feature planning and development
Interactive features (such as rollovers, image swaps and pop-ups) can be a useful aid to providing information - or they can be a pain in the neck. Using instructional design skills, we plan interactive features that users like to interact with.
We don't just plan websites - we make them, too. Screen-based and interactive technology demand many of the mainstays of successful print: a sound structure, appealing graphics and well-written text. Take these away and you’re left with sites that meander around the place, have little content or just look dull.
We’re especially proud of our strong programming skills, which allow for high levels of interactivity, data collection, response mechanisms and the other features that make for winning multimedia presentations.
