Countdown to LOGOV Expo 2010

31 January 2010

The Queensland Foundation for Local Government Engineering is getting ready for LOGOV Expo 2010, one of the largest exhibitions of construction and public works equipment in Australia. This increasingly popular bi-annual event will be held this year on 6 and 7 October at Meakin Park, Logan City, and the new web site allows for interested businesses to apply for a site online.

The new web site features Joomla! CMS functionality including contacts lists, news postings, and extensions for a photo gallery, Google maps, and custom online forms.

New web site successfully launched for ROSS Planning

25 November 2009

Thanks to the team at ROSS Planning and Paula Weston, pH creative Writer, the redevelopment of the ROSS Planning company web site was a success. Their new web site is based on the dynamic Joomla! content management system which enables the ROSS Planning team to keep their web site up to date easily. It features company news, project updates and professional photography. ROSS Planning will also have the ability to use the Agora Forum functionality and even invite comments for public consultation projects.

Microsoft Internet Explorer 8

3 August 2009

Is your web site ready for Internet Explorer 8 (IE8)? If your web site was built before or during 2006 it is likely it is not displaying correctly in IE8. IE8 renders web pages differently to older browsers such as IE6, so you may find that some elements of your web pages don't look right. It's important that your web site displays correctly in various web browsing programs (including others such as Mozilla Firefox versions 2 and 3, Opera 9 and even the newbie, Google Chrome) because you don't know what program visitors to your web site are using.

If you would like your web site to work in all the modern web browsers forward your web address to me for a free assessment.
