Well Boys and Girls, its been another few silly months here at Gruden since you last heard from us. With the office move now out of the way, we’ve been head down – bum up and working hard, with little time to do anything – hence the lateness on this G-spot…! But it hasn’t been without a bit of excitement….
But firstly, happy new year to all of those concerned with numbers and those that care! It’s a pretty big milestone with this financial year over, as it oficially marks our 10th year in business – and boy has it come a long way since the humble beginnings of sharing a computer between two of us!
The big news is that we have now moved! Yay thank god its over!! Everything ran pretty smoothly despite the fact that we signed the lease on the 13th, had to move office on Friday the 13th and we moved to the 13th floor! We thought we were doomed!! But alas, the new bigger, better, sexier and more centralised office is proving to be a very comfortable new home. So now we’re at Level 13, 60 Carrington Street – handy for everyone!
Besides the excitement of moving, we’ve been keeping very busy working on lots of new projects and enhancements for clients. We’ve recently launched a number of new sites, one being the Rosemount Estate website for Southcorp and the new Disney Channel Suite Life Competition Site. The super site was based upon the new framework that Disney Channel worldwide are now using offering a larger screen size – and lots more advertising! Check it out..
We’ve also recently been awarded a number of new projects that will definately see us busy for the next few months. The most interesting project is the development of the NSW Government and the Department of Commerce’s online style guides. Working with our partners at PTG, we’ll be looking at the whole of government with the aim of standardising development, templates, Information Architecture, User Interfaces, coding standards and more for all NSW government departments.
Work with Southcorp is continuing with the development of the new Lindemans website and we were also recently awarded the project for Pandana’s resort based in Darwin – which has now been launched, the Destra Business website, the Lively Group website and again working with ARIA on this years ARIA Awards voting website.
Also, the Tripoint website is almost complete, as is Budget Hot Water and the Australian Institute of Management have just launched the new Intranet which is using the Shado MX CMS – as well as a number of other projects!
Collex have recently implemented the Shado MX Content Management System on their website to provide an easy to use, yet powerful solution to base their internet developments on. Blacktown City Council are also in the process of upgrading Shado MX to the latest version, taking advantage of the integrated Coldfusion Enterprise and Flex package that we can now offer.
This offer is a world first, where Macromedia and Shado MX 7 have joined forces to offer a truley enterprise solution that has unlimited capability in this very powerful product.
That’s it for another few months here at G-Spot central, but remember; “Perfection is achieved, not when there is nothing left to add, but when there is nothing left to take away”!
Till next time!!
