Online Training

Many of our online training projects are done in collaboration with jon burke creative digital video. We find that the use of Video in online training provides a level of authenticity that is sometimes difficult to achieve through other means.

In safety training having someone who has been involved in accidents or bad behaviour talk about the experience can greatly bring home the importance of the training.

In other cases visual role playing can greatly enhance the understanding.

For example we have just completed a training package for SouthLink bus drivers.

The use of video case studies aids drivers in gaining a better understanding of the protocol for handling various situations in their working day.

New site for cultivate design

New site for Cultivate DesignWe have just finished helping Jeannie Wilksch at Cultivate Design redesign her web site.

Jeannie is a graphic designer and photographer servicing clients in the Adelaide Hills and regional and rural South Australia.

The new WordPress site gives a great visual picture of some of her images and her work.

Don’t take our word for it just have a look for yourself.

Open Source Mentality

I have seen the open source mentality develop over time and sometimes I find it hard to embrace because of where I come from. I started life many moons ago as a product development engineer and we had a mentality of keeping our work secret until new products were released. This was so different to today’s collaborative open source approach.

What started me thinking about this was a post on Pippin Williamson’s blog where he takes such an open approach to his business that he even publishes his financial review for the year.

It’s worth a read.

I do not think I’d go quite that far but I am sure there is a principle here that we produce better solutions when we openly embrace the input from others.

Business direction?

For all of us who own and run our own business often the years tick by without really considering what we do, how are we doing it and should we be doing things differently.

I’ve sort of had this bubbling to the forefront of my mind for awhile without actually sitting down thinking about it.

We work in an area that changes so rapidly. I had to do some work on a project I built around six years ago the other day and it was like a time warp so much has changed. Yet I remember many years ago when I started life as an engineer six years did not mean a huge amount of change.

So I decided to think about what we are doing and what we should be doing?

To that end I’ve decided to focus much more on plugin development.

Gone are the days where individual projects require individual solutions now we complete projects by putting together various off the shelf building blocks.

jonburke creative digital video

jbsiteThis is a new WordPress based site produced with jonburke creative digital video.

This includes the so called parallax effect. This is where foreground and background move independently. This gives the site a feeling of having depth rather than flat and two dimensional.

Jon’s business is very visual and this theme allows him to demonstrate some of his visual talent whilst still making it easy to find out about the services offered by jonburke creative digital video.
