The next version of Microsoft Office, Office 2007, is now not that far away. There has been talk about the menu and toolbars we have been used to for so long disappearing, and being replaced by a “Ribbon”.

Micosoft have now released a preview video that outlines how it will work. I must say it looks pretty impressive. I just hope that the features previewed here will work on computers now and won’t require us to upgrade our PCs in order to use them!

The preview runs for about 13 minutes and is well worth a look if you’re a regular Office user.

We first developed The Labour Hire Australia Group’s website back in 2001. In 5 years the web has changed somewhat and so had the business needs of the site.

So along with a totally new design we have converted the site over to our new Content Management System - a fancy way of saying they can update their website themselves, without any exstra software!

We have recently redeveloped the Rockhampton Leagues Club’s website - giving it a whole new look as well as some major usability improvements.

It features:

• A page dedicated to wedding information, with its own enquiry form
• A page dedicated to holding funtions there, again with its own enquiry form
• Downloadable information kits
• Upcoming show calendar
• Membership information
• Their latest newsletter

Like most websites we are developing these days, Rockhampton Leagues Club can update this themselves, without the need for any special software.

Joncris Sentinel Services are a workplace health and safety consultancy business that also offer a range of training courses tailored to people in the mining industry. Their new website:

• Outlines their services
• Promotes their experience
• Details their training programs
• Has downloadable course material, so they don’t have to post it out all the time
• Includes a tribute to the Moura #4 mine explosion in 1986

The site is fully maintainable by Joncris, and includes video downloads, Acrobat PDF downloads, and even information on their equine nursery!

Karma House is an “unusual” shop that has been operating in Cairns for 7 years. Their new website has a similar unusual feel, yet incorporates a large product catalgue and shopping cart facility.

Via a password protected administration area, Karma House can add and remove their products, change details and prices, and update any page on their website whenever needed.

This site also maintains 2 price lists - one for retail and one for wholesale. Karma House can supply certain clients with a username and password, and when they log in they have access to wholesale rates.
