Generate Custom PDF Documents

A PDF document is a standard originally developed by Adobe including text formatting and images, in a manner independent of application software.

Creating a PDF programmatically from data that exists already within your own system saves valuable time from creating a document manually when a price or other detail changes.

The Problem - too many solutions

There are many solutions to problems available, however this in itself creates a problem. For example, just to send a subscriber email some professionals need up to 5 different systems working together. Then they must use many checks and balances to ensure the email is correct. Any update to one of the systems may render issues in other related systems. In short it is a 'system designed to fail' or require so many checks as to render it inefficient.

Our Custom PDF solution works directly under our own admin system. It is not a system like Word Press that has security issues requiring constant updates. Ours is a system where you can contact the creator of the software directly with any issue. It only works on highly optimised private secure servers, using web systems developed by us so nothing external can break it. No reliance on external systems updated by large teams.

Daily Appointment Booking System

Create various appointment types for a room, a practitioner an item, depending on how you manage your business.

Set prices for these appointments, including concession prices.

Warnings prevent obvious mistakes.

Allow online selection and payment filtered by appointment type. Hence an individual page on your site can sell appointments for that service in real-time.

For example you may have 4 hours available for appointments and various appointment types available that vary in length.

You can specify a break between appointments.

The calendar calculations display available appointments for the appointment type length for the next available period eg 2 weeks.

Holidays and non-availability can be easily accounted for and appointment availability via the back-end can be viewed in realistic calendars that can be clicked to edit.

Blank off an appointment with no "Visitor" if need be and add the person later.

When clients book they only see available services, then available time slots, this is a real-time system with a completely new modern back-end for easy operation.

Integrate with Stripe and have payments and confirmation in real-time. Integrating with Stripe automatically allows integration with major accounting software like Xero.

Print an automatic generated PDF indicating appointment time and paid.

Integrate with SMS systems for reminders.

Business Mobile Apps



If you are keen to build a business App that pulls data from a website we can help you. We have built various systems that can move data around so there is one entry point.

Here is a simple example - this Hearing Aids Brisbane site is listing prices from Hearing Aid Prices site which was the first site in Australia to list prices of hearing aids across major brands. A disruptive innovative approach that was first to market.

The data is only entered in one central location and is sent to various sites. We excited to be working on an App version. In technical terms the advent of major Social Media sites means APIs and data a now designed to go anywhere. We use those same techniques for your mobile App.

Our Next Generation Blog

As an SEO and web developer it is nice to create a tool that helps clients get more from their blogs (news article posts).

Our latest tool gives insights into the number of views and popular pages on your blog. Web statistics are not new but how the data is presented can give you insights into what is performing and why.

Our next project is to create sites that talk to the visitor based on what they visit on the site. A good blog system with well written and researched articles would allow you to create specific calls to action should a user be interested in a certain topic or product.

Search engines like Google already have very advanced systems like this - but what if you could tell that the visitor that just subscribed had spent quite a bit of time researching Product A - you could call them and discuss it - or you could offer them something that interests them on their next visit without lifting a finger.

This is not new but what is new for our best every system is that it is intuitive to use, fun to analyse and can save time.

Creating a Mobile Friendly Web Application

We have long been proud of our Content Management System.
Making it adaptable to any business requirement and evolving adds power and flexibility.
A client asked us to create a system where they could automatically create PDF orders online for their suppliers whilst out it the field. They loved the system but then asked can it be easier to use from a mobile phone?
We adapted our existing system to detect if it was being accessed by a mobile or handheld device and make the content easy to operate on a small screen.
After all the hype on mobile devices in recent years it is really only now (when more people actually have latest the phones and can afford to use them on competitive plans) when web content should be made for different environments on the fly.

Distributed Systems

This system can be applied to many industries. It allows you to place your information on any website.
Check the Invisible Hearing Aid Prices Brisbane page that is actually retrieving data from Hearing Aid Prices website - one set or data going to various locations on any device.
That information could be live bookings, homes for sale, products for sale but it is managed from one source.
One example is an accommodation booking calendar that could be placed on any website.
Can you think up another application of this, that would give you a competitive advantage?

• It is part of our in house content management system (not the one size fits all variety)
• Can be combined with almost any system
• Can be distributed to many websites with no special code required
• Super fast and efficient
• Can include affiliates and commissions

Co-ordination Google Calendars with your website and business

Google calendars are rich in functionality and can be effectively utilised to enhance your business.
They can even send free SMS notifications to you.
We have a new time saving Contractor Management System that includes the following functionality-:

• Book multiple contractors on multiple jobs
• Individual contractors logins and management
• Free SMS notification and online booking co-ordinated with Google Calendars
• Manage equipment
• Order products automatically from your suppliers based on a specific job
• Record hours and create automatic invoices in pdf   

Accommodation Booking System

We have developed a system that allows a booking system to be developed and placed on an infinite number of websites. It is completely interactive without page refreshes and super fast.
Hence from one central location you can manage your bookings and place them on different websites.

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 longitude and latitude (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.

The Marine Centre Temperate Zone Integrates Google Maps v3 with clustering and panoramic images of locations in a pop-up fancybox.

Virtual Tours - With Google Maps and Flash

360 degree Panoramas and VR integrating Flash JSP and MySQL
We have some very interesting projects that integrate our Flash skills with our content management system.

One area is VR and panoramic images - perfect for a real-estate site.
this is shot using a good quality tripod and a Nikon SLR digital camera - the images are stitched together and integrated into a Google Map.
