Our creations
This section is dedicated to exhibiting our creations. Although we don't really like making you scroll, there are just so many of our wares we want to share!
Incosmetics (August 2010)
Incosmetics supplies a vast (when we say vast, we mean really huge) range of raw materials for the cosmetics, personal care and related industries. When building this website we decided that scientific information doesn’t have to be complicated on the web.
This mammoth website may come across as very plain and simple, but the current 270 odd products are cross-categorised and tagged to ensure that Incosmetics clients can easily find and compare the products they may need.

Addictionology (June 2010)
With 56877 hits within the first month, we’re pretty sure that the Addictionology website is going to soon become SA’s central hub for information on addiction and recovery for professionals and the public.
Having a variety of potential user groups, an online directory, FAQ section and tons of other resources, this was a complex project to develop and implement but we are all proud of the end result.

Celestial Connections (February 2010)
Celestial Connections: Dating Transformed is the brain child of Jacqueline Brook, a professional practicing astrologer and tutor of the Tradition of astrology. It is more than a dating site as it traces the compatibility of people through the astrological analysis of their birth charts, as opposed to the superficial and external characteristics that other dating sites use. The website is modern and funky, while accommodating both male and female visitors. It is not only pleasing to the eye, but also provides interesting articles about astrology and concise information on how to meet a partner that complements your very essence.

VFISA - Viktor Frankl Institute of South Africa
The Viktor Frankl Institute of South Africa serves as a platform to help people find meaning in their lives. Their previous website, however didn't adequately reflect the ideals of hope and meaning in order to encourage people to better their lives. Then we came in! First on the agenda was to create a website that actualized hope at first glance and provided extensive and essential information about Viktor Frankl and Logotherapy. By selecting the right colours, overall look and feel and rewriting all of the content, we were able to create something serene, light and uplifting that revitalized the values of the Institute.

Healthy Living Herbs
Healthy Living Herbs is a specialist herb grower, supplying herbs to local Garden centres. This was one of our favourite websites to implement, but also one of the most technical.

Since its revamp in March 2009, Healthy Living Herbs has generated a massive increase in traffic, tripling the number of unique visitors per month.

AORTA - Astrologers of the Real Tradition of Astrology
AORTA, Astrologers of the Real Tradition of Astrology, was established to address two primary areas - to meet the requirements of astrologers of The Tradition and to promote this discipline of astrology to the media and public. They wanted a website with a registered section for users with a serious interest in astrology and a non-registered section supplying interesting information about astrology for the average layperson.
The look and feel of the website had to be modern and a step up from the typical old-school feel of traditional astrology. The AORTA logo, icons and entire website were designed according to these ideals.

Owl Spot cottages
Owl Spot cottages are nestled in the heart of the Dinokeng Big 5 Game Reserve surrounded by beautiful indigenous bush veld. The cottages are named after two owl species that occur in this area and their call can be heard frequently. The owners, Adri and Anita have also erected owl boxes in the area to encourage these owls to breed on the property. For this website we designed the logo and created a serene and tranquil look and feel reflecting the charm of the Dinokeng area and the cottages themselves.

Doonholm Nursery
Doonholm Nursery is a specialist wholesale grower supplying Garden centres and Landscapers alike in Gauteng, South Africa. Because they are one of the bigger wholesale growers in the country it was time to add an online ordering facility which allows their clients to register and order from a product catalogue consisting of over 800 plants with photos and descriptions. Not only were we able to do this but we also redesigned the entire look and feel of the website, created help files for new website users and a promotional CD in Flash, designed a printed brochure and scored a free holiday in Drakensburg for all of our hard work. Thanks Doug and Louis!

We said: "piece of cake!"
