Melbourne company Property 10 has a new website!
"For many years Tim and Mark had been providing investment marketers with residential property on a wholesale level. They recognise the lack of service many end clients receive but more importantly, the poor value in pricing that end consumers face.
Acknowledging they have superior product and pricing to go direct to the market they embarked on a strategy to “cut out the middle man” and deliver a sound service to match. They embarked on delivering a complete property investment service that will manage an investment purchase from start to end including land and construction, taxation, finance, legal and property management. A true one stop shop that any consumer or partner could interface with."
Property 10 is the result of this work and partnership. It's been great working with Tim, Mark, Ange and the team. With design assistance from Bec Smith at Gamma Ray the site has come up swimmingly. Included in the site are some hand coded calculators and a newsletter subscription service along with nice clear and accessible content.
Congratulations to all involved and we know it'll be another great addition to the Property 10 arsenal.
Cheers
Mark

Efront and the EJ Whitten Legends Game
From November 2007, Efront has worked alongside the team at Baker Smith Management to get the Legends Game website developed, built, tested and operating. The site is built on a custom content management system, allowing Baker Smith to add pages, video, images, copy and news feeds as they see fit. Along with all of this is an e-commerce component that allows for various online transactions as needed.
We were pretty chuffed to see our logo up on the big screen at the game and a little recognition in the footy record throughout was pretty sweet! The three fellas to your right are David, Adam and Darren...enjoying the hospitality at the Legends Dinner.
Efront was proud to have sponsored this landmark Melbourne event and is looking forward to being involved next year in the web design and development of the Legends Game!
Oh and for the record, the All Stars beat the Vics by two points ;)
Hopin your day is excellent,
Mark

Designer meets Developer
We've recently been lucky enough to have started work with Jane Sinclair. Jane is an accomplished designer who had a hand in the formative days of Cornwell Design with her husband Steven.
Starting with Soho Projects (more on that front soon) we've been able to move on to a placeholder for Jane's site at - www.sincalir.com.au. I've said it before but it's great to work with people who are passionate about what they do and Jane is no exception. We're looking forward to a great ongoing relationship and outcomes in the future!
Have a great week,
Mark

Melbourne Open House
We're very excited to be a part of this project. Another initiative by The Committee for Melbourne and the Future Focus Group for the International Design Festival, Efront is proud to be supporting the website development of the Melbourne Open House project.
Not only a great opportunity for us, but a fantastic way to highlight Melbourne's architecture and allow us to stop and take a look around this city we live in!
Just a placeholder at the moment, but watch this space over the next couple of weeks for more information!
All the best,
Mark

Blogging, tweeting and plurking
I admit freely I'm an 'opt in' kinda guy. If theres a new service on the web where I get to output all my personal thoughts and feelings to the world at large and all they want in return is my name, email address and custom? I'm in every time :)
Years back the world started blogging. When I was younger I built and ran a small community site that let me and my mates post stories, photos and then comment on said stories and photos. Sounds like a blog...because it pretty much was. TypePad, Wordpress, Blogger etc quickly turned up and owned this space, providing people the ability to install and run (on their own domain or not) their own blogs, inviting commentary and helping to shepherd in and encourage the micro community or blogosphere. Some of these are standalone websites like our mate Raj over at I Don't Quite Know who uses WordPress as a platform on his own domain, or something like this blog where we use Blogger at the moment as a small feed into the news section and part of our larger site.
Recently the blog has lost it's shine for me and I (like many others) have fallen for Twitter and Plurk. Short, 160-ish character micro blogging. Originally through some of my weekly podcasts like TWIT, Buzz Out Loud and Boagworld I heard about Twitter, the idea of micro blogging strange at first so I 'followed' some of these 'web-celebs' watching for interesting posts and good links. After a while you encourage a few friends to get on too and all of a sudden there's a shared information pool, a reason to go back. Throw into the mix applications for the iPhone like Twinkle that let you micro blog, with geo location AND a photo....they start to get very powerful.
In terms of look and feel though, I LOVE Plurk. It reminds me of my grommit skater days wearing Mambo gear (in a strange karmic twist Jeff Raglus is a client of ours) with it's kooky mascots. The timeline approach (one for you Flash dev'rs out there) is really fluid and intuitive. Conversations are fun to have and easy to follow. YouTube and image links automatically post thumbnails and drop into 'plurks' easily.
A blog post a few weeks back lead to a Plurk timeline conversation yesterday and then a meetup with Rhett from Wade Studios this afternoon at our office in Melbourne! Hopefully this type of connection can lead to some great shared projects between Rhett and Efront. Social networking, blogging, micro blogging, tweeting and plurking, how long it's got I have no idea but damn I'm enjoying it right now.
Enjoy,
Mark
