Transactions System We have developed a system that allows 2 websites to swap information and store it on the site to enable fast access. When an order occurs on either site the other site is notified and updated. Should one of the sites not be available (e.g. due to the Internet being down) a log is kept and an email sent to the maintenance technician.
The aim is to allow multiple shop fronts for one store where the original information is only ever entered once - saving your valuable time.
An example of this is GoldCoastAccommodationOnline.com that now offers Q1 Accommodation from inventory updated on another site.
We think this is great because it increases the exposure without any additional work from the people maintaining the Q1 rooms.
Integrating Google Maps Google Maps can be added to sites - they can also be automated and programmed.
An example of this is GoldCoastAccommodationOnline.com that has a gold coast accommodation map that is configured via our Content Management System and allows the map to be updated without any knowledge of programming or code.
You simply enter the longatude and lattitude (via another website) and it updates. We can also automate images into the map that do not require any knowledge of image programs to operate.
Improving your general mobility Our latest research has been to put together a package of software (mostly free) and configure them to allow people who are mobile have access to their emails directly from a memory stick.
The aim is to allow anyone with this software to be able to plug into any Interner enable PC and carry on thier business - email - docs etc. without needing a lap top.
It allows you to access your own PC remotely. Fantastic for anyone who travels to conduct their business and needs to have access to info and email on the run. This system will include simple techniques for grabbing images from your phone. The new phones (e.g. Nokia) have sophisticated cameras that are now past the initial play things of the past.
This does not directly relate to our core business - making web sites but it does give our customers a competitive advantage and that is part of the service.
Bringing the desktop online The Internet is in a constant state of transition. The next big thing appears to be pages that interact seemlessly using AJAX (not the soap powder), but a combination of JavaScript XML and quite often Java on the server.
It is the technology backed by Google and used in their Google maps
that can be added to web sites.
Gold Coast Accommodation Online .com has an example of being able to move a live map without the page having to reload. We think this is pretty exciting stuff, but not only that Google encourage web developers to use their technology - so we do.
This technology will be growing at a rapid rate and will leave many sites looking decidedly dated and slow. The users experience will be enhanced as many of the differences between a web site and their own desktop will blend away.
360 degree Panoramas and VR integrating Flash JSP and MySQL We have some very interesting projects in the pipeline that are
really going to extend our Flash skills. We have a new flash developer
Bryce who is developing into a very accomplished programmer with design skills thrown in.
One area we are researching is VR and panoramic images - perfect for a real-estate site.
Below is a beta example.
This is a very quick example shot with a basic camera without extensive correcting of the images. We will be offering professional photographer alternatives.
[use your mouse to move the image]
Use your mouse to guide the image.
We are looking for interested parties to join us in the project but in brief it has the following aims :-
Seemless desktop to Web integration for Real-Estate agents
User friendly
Multi Media rich
Renovation tips from tradesman
Financial Calculators
Terminology and helpful hints
Currently we charge $ 165 to create an optimised stiched 360 degree photo with automatic viewer. This can be placed on any web page and would run on most PC's
We have created Virtual Tours and information sites including one project for Marine Discovery Centre
It includes original sound tracks, and a combination of Google Maps and our own Content Management System including panoramics for each location.
