THE BUSINESS BEHIND THE PASSION
Creating technology that is thoughtful, original and sustainable is where we thrive. Our focus is to work with other like-minded businesses to strengthen the relationship between regional communities and emerging technology. We, of course, love where we live and we do all our best work from our headquarters in Ballarat, Victoria.
Our team is made up of incredibly talented local IT and creative specialists. They are the ones coding your websites, creating user-friendly designs and leading the industry with their abilities. Our founding CEO, Anthony, guides our team and business utilising industry best practices, built on the ethos of providing clients with sustainable and creative IT solutions.
We have outlined our main service areas to reflect the most common forms of support we provide. However, we don’t like limitation and we work continuously on professional development to provide each client with the latest technology, from VR to machine learning. We are not afraid to jump on a train, plane or kayak to be involved with your business. Why? Because we truly care about our work and we love to turn your ideas into reality.

TECHNOLOGY MADE ACCESSIBLE
When it comes to technology, where do you start? We always start from what we already know. Here comes our favourite word: DATA. We aren’t going to lie to you, we love data and we are not afraid to use it. It’s a staple in everything we do. It’s what our business is driven by and we are here to make it easier for you to use it. For example:
Did you know 40.1% of millenials choose their travel destination from how Instagramable it is?
We take that data and put it into something tangible for you to use, even if you’re not sure how to. That’s where we step in as your right-hand team. If you’re a travel agent whose website needs a complete millennial appropriate overhaul, we have you covered. Got a new travel app idea you can’t wait to get off the ground? Our bags are already packed.
We love to hear your ideas and make them a reality, and there are no silly questions when it comes to new technology. We are here to learn and grow with you, now let’s innovate.
WEBSITE DEVELOPMENT
CITY OF BALLARAT
We are lucky that we not only live in a beautiful regional city but we had the opportunity to work with the local Council to help shape the future of their technology. The City of Ballarat project required a solid development skill set and incorporated a project management plan to ensure milestones were completed with the allocated budget. Our team developed the website to the strict Government regulatory requirements of MyGov. The project required a strategy that incorporated stage releases and a cloud platform that allowed for quick scaling. The site hosts current news information for the local community and can be found here.

FINDLAY ENGINEERING
Like engineers, we like to work with precision, which is the approach we took with Findlay Engineering’s new Customer Relationship Management (CRM) software. Using their existing customer database, our developers migrated their data into a fully custom designed interface, optimised to work across all devices used within the business. The solution involved continuous improvement and functionality upgrades including instant search, updated reporting and custom export functions. Our team developed the solution with a combination of database design, data migration, website development and jQuery. The final solution was created to fit seamlessly into business operations.

WILLOW AND STONE ESTATE
It is easy to create a beautiful website when we are inspired by the content. Drawing from the elegance of the estate, we designed the Willow & Stone Estate website. Taking their signature branding and style to complement their luxury wedding venue and accommodation in Ballarat. We designed the website to inspire future couples to imagine themselves there as they scroll through the imagery. The site was developed and built in WordPress, the most popular CMS that combines functionality and versatility. The website for the Willow and Stone Estate is the first step into the stunning setting for any happy marriage and can be found here.
