So you want to build a website ! Great. The first step in building a successful site is to really, really, REALLY, understand what you want.

‘Because everyone else has one‘ isn’t a good enough reason. Dig deeper. Think about all the great things the internet could do for you or your business, then pick the top 3 or 4 things. Get associated with those 3 or 4 things. Ask yourself what would it mean to my business if we had leads pouring in over night, or 3 more sales per day or 100 new people looking over our products ….

This will help set the context for a great meeting with your designer/developer.

Dont worry, we’re changing t-shirts but still playing the same game.

Tourism Victoria launched their Insiders’ Guide to Melbourne last week. If you haven’t taken a look yet then text ‘Guide’ (without the quotes) to 0448 848 433 in Australia or +61 448 848 433 from Overseas. (Java Phones & Blackberry devices only - Sorry all you fancy pants iPhone guys).

Working with Publicis Mojo to build out Tourism Victoria’s vision of a city guide was a great experience. We were extremely happy with the final product.

The application has wide ranging compatibility and should work on any Java phone made in the last few years (with the exception of some LG phones) so all you Nokia, SonyEricsson, Samsung, BlackBerry, Motorola,HTC, ZTE give it a whirl.

A few weeks ago we launched Handset Detection, a web service which allows your website to detect mobile devices.

We created Handset Detection because we needed to identify mobile devices to send java programs to phones, however it turns out there are heaps of uses for our new service. Which is awesome ! People are using Handset Detection to know what sort of ringtones to send to certain phone types and others are using it to customize web content to small screen sizes.

We’re got plenty of enhancements planned too, so stay tuned. Oh, and if you’re using Handset Detection on a project then write in and let us know.
