Our Portfolio
We have had the privelage of working on some really nice website projects lately. Here are some of the websites that we've worked on in the past:

Sugar + Spice Design
My gorgeous wife's graphic design company - being a designer, she had some way out ideas for her website design. I told her that whatever she wanted, I would build it! (hehe, little did I know what that would entail!)
It's a static website, so any changes is made by me, and each of the pages were designed separately, giving the website a very unique look and feel:
Homepage:
Services page:
Portfolio page:
As you can see, this was a really fun website to build!
Dialogue8
A very good friend of mine, Wiehan, who is also a graphic designer a very good Illustrator, also asked for my help when he wanted to get his website up and running. As you'll see, he has a very unique style of design.
Wiehan obvisouly designed the website himself, but I built it for him.
His site uses my RGCMS software, with some slight modifications to meet his requirements:
As you can see, very creative!
Ideaseed
Ideaseed is a company in Australia specialising in Powerpoint Presentation design. Sugar+Spice designed the website, and we made use of Ziné Design for the flash bits on the site.
This is again a static website, because each and every page is quite different to the previous one! Was a very fun design once again, and I even got a change to do some very basic video editing to work with the embedded movie clips!
Homepage:
Ziné did some really funky things with the living room here, for example, when hover on the plant to the right, it grows, and the radio splurts out some music notes!
Our work page:
This page had some embedded movie clips, but we had to make it fit in the design. If you click on the tapes, it loads in the tv, with the rounded corners and everything! (was here where I did some amatuer video editing...)
The team page:
Ahh Jquery is a wonderful thing! Hovering on each portrait of the team pops up a little info snippet of each person, and at the bottom of the page is all the info on each of the team. Sugar+Spice did their magic in making all the photos look like classic snaps. The cat also meows!
The Nanny Notebook
The most recent site I built - once again designed by Sugar+Spice design - this one is also very unique and has a very beautiful design.
This site is also a static one, every page basically has it's own template, with colour changes and banner images changing throughout.
