Services - Web Design and Development
I offer full web design and development services from start to finish. Whether it’s for a basic website, to a full blown application, or a new mobile craze. I have a vast amount of experience I can use to make your ideas a reality. I especially like projects that are unique and haven’t been done before. I also have a number of contacts if extra help is required!
The user experience
When creating your new website it is very important that the new design is pleasing to the eye and interacts well with the user. I can help create a new original look, as well as develop an interface that’s easy to use and is enjoyable and fun. Not to forget, it will also work in all the browsers, screen resolutions and on all operating systems.
A cool new App
Are you looking at creating the next Facebook, or maybe you want to create a new online local search tool. I can help you realise your goals using my own experiences designing and developing online applications.
WordPress Themes
Want the benefit of a CMS (Content Management System), but not at a huge expense. I can develop you a custom wordpress theme (what the site looks like) to suit your needs, so you can have the benefit of editing your own website. I can also create you a custom Wordpress plugin if needed.
Grand Experimentation
When there’s a will there’s a way!!!! If you have an idea that people have said it can’t be done, or they have no idea how to do it, well I’d love to have ago. I’m abit of a crazy inventor type of a guy. I like to do things that haven’t been done before and push the boundaries.
If you have an idea but don’t really know what to do, then let me have a look at it and I will give you an idea how you could possibly move forward.
Servers, Email, Spam, Oh My!
If you have a website and maybe a server set up, but don’t really know how to use it or don’t understand the options. I offer consulting services for all technical issues relating to anything to do with domains the web and your emails.
Search Engine Optimisation, SEO
“I want to be number one in Google”
If you want Google ranking there’s two ways of getting it. You either pay for it, or you optimise your website for Google. Or Both! I can optimise your website for you so that it has the best chance of ranking well in Google. I’m happy to explain to you how this works as well. Please be aware there are no guarantees in the ranking game. Anyone that promises rankings is lying. Even Google says this!
For the nerds
Technologies I use!
XHTML, CSS, Javascript/AJAX, PHP, MySQL
All sites are tested on all common browsers and common screen resolutions, and different platforms, including mobile.

Tatiana needed a good looking website to help market her new massage therapies business. We decided to use Wordpress as it enabled flexibility going into the future. She can easily edit the site herself, and can add extra plugins in the future if needed. As Tatiana had a small budget we searched for a free theme that was close to what she wanted (www.freewpthemes.net/preview/zenlike). I then customised the theme and built a custom plugin for the contact form (as others weren’t suitable). Compare the two themes to see how much the theme has changed.

This was another visual concept to website job. The layout was designed by a colleague and I turned it into a website for them. One nice feature is the gallery image scroller which I designed from scratch rather than using someone else’s code or a framework. Also of note is the JavaScript contact form. I do this to minimise spam with out making the form ugly with Captcha fields.

A visual concept to website job. The layout was designed by a colleague and I turned it into a website for them. It was very important that the website looked exactly like the initial design, which I'm happy to say was achieved down to the pixel (well a few pixels here and there :) ).

Laura Trillitzsch Designs. Designed to display Laura's Art and Crafts. This site was designed from scratch with a custom made application.
- The client wanted:
- to display the items she creates on a website.
- the site to be very easy to manage.
- to use her existing www.etsy.com account.

Laura Trillitzsch Photography. Laura wanted to use the open source pixelpost photoblog application with the custom Pixelfy v2.0 template. This setup wasn't completely what the client wanted and had a few application errors. So I was asked to modify the template and customise the application behaviour. I updated the design elements of the template and fixed some errors the template was causing. I modified the application, and finally added a contact form so users could contact Laura.

Mauro Palmieri Photography. Mauro had a visual concept of his new website but no knowledge of how to create it. So using his design I created the website exactly as he imagined it. He wanted the site and images to load quickly and the images to swap in a way as to not reload the page each time.

A project I have been working on since early 2008. This is an experimental logon system and data centralisation application. This is the future of the web. Coming to a website you know! (twaboo.com uses this system)

Home energy ratings. I have managed this website since its release, designing and developing each new phase of the site. It has gone through a few different versions since being released a few years ago.
eventerator.com
Another project that I had been working on for about 2 years, 2006 - 2008. This is a social networking website like facebook or myspace but based around the events in your life, and trying to get people out into this world and doing something. Unfortunately I stopped development on this to work on coreplexus.com so the interface is abit messy. But it does work, and you can see all the features that have been built into it. I plan to redevelop the idea using the coreplexus services.

A drum n bass forum that Sam and I started in 2006. I have managed and customised the site since we started it!
Plus a whole heap of other earlier works.
The Seven Eleven Obsession – 7:11
So what’s with the 7:11 thing you may ask? Well it all started when I was a stressed out young teenager. I began to notice that I would randomly look at my digital clock and it would be (yep you guessed it) 7:11 (eleven past seven!!) am or pm. I also began to notice that I usually had a pretty good day when I saw this time.
I soon started seeing this time or the number 711 everywhere, on random things like number plates, phone numbers, or advertising. It soon became a good omen for me to see this time/number.
So this time/number has now become a great personal sign for me. It doesn’t guarantee that something amazing is going to happen in that moment. It is a reminder for me to have faith in what I am doing, and faith in life. When you have faith then nothing can really get you down, or lead you astray from where you want to go.
I hope everyone has faith in themselves and life, because it just makes life so much better and enjoyable when you do.

One Sugar To Go
19 April 2010
One Sugar To Go was a great success on Sunday (18th April 2010) with all art works sold on the day.
I also created a piece to be auctioned (view right), called "I can't believe it's not metal". Though it was made completely from metal, as I thought that would be funny! It sold to a good friend. Thnx ;).
It was a great day with lots of entertainment. Definitely a great way to display new art! Big ups to Sam and Jessie for their dedication on putting on the event.
