Quite curious what the response rate will be.

Goody makes plastic compostable and biodegradable

Posted in work by Simon Jansen on October 9, 2008

Goody Plastic is co-owned by our dear friends Nick and Kym from Artswift. The company produces plastic additives that allow products to break down easily. “Goody Additive is 100% environmentally safe, is non-toxic and contains no heavy metals”, says Goody, continuing… “Goody Additive maintains the integrity and performance of your plastic products. The only difference being, the plastic has a shelf-life – it will not last forever.”

We’ve launched the Goody website a week or two ago using Kym’s design, coded it using NomisPro, and have released it to the world.

Retirement Villages Website launched

Posted in work by Simon Jansen on October 7, 2008

We’ve finally launched the villages.com.au website, an extensive directory of retirement villages, aged care facilites, over-55s developments, as well as editorial resources for viewers contemplating their retirement options.

The site has been built using the latest build of NomisPro™, our in-house developed content management system. It will soon be released to the general public. Villages Publishing staff is managing both editorial content and village listings independent of us.

The website features geo-location search (with all Australian postcodes geo-tagged), ajax-based auto-suggestion, regional splitting, operator search and manages paid and free listings automatically. Listing providers have access to a self-service platform where they can update listings, subscribe to enhance their listing, view visitor statistics and upload images and editorial content about their village listings. Highly search-engine optimised, the updated version of this website should improve on its Google ranking (Australia’s only real contender) and we will be watching the traffic closely over the coming months.
