TDG Building came to Big Click Studios needing a new and fresh corporate identity and a website to promote their business on the Central Coast.

We started from scratch by creating a friendly/fun corporate identity encompassing different themes from within the industry (Technical Drawing, related colours, etc). Once we had our ideas down we continued to create a layout for the website along with a full stationary pack and designs for their work vehicle.

The client requested that they be able to update the content on the site and they also wanted to be able to easily add/edit projects that they had completed and also the ability to add a randomized testimonial section. As the client was coming from a non-technical background we had to ensure that the processes were easy to follow and that they were fail proof.

Our custom in-house CMS sat behind the website with ease and it allowed the client to easily manage their site and content while allowing us to offer an affordable solution with ease of maintenance for us.

In the end we delivered a complete corporate identity at an affordable price and the client had this to say:

“Karen and I would like to thank Big Click Studios for all their efforts in creating the website for TDG Building, we are extremely happy with the outcome.

Justin & Dean went the extra mile when asked to assist us with the design work for our business logo, office stationary and signage for the company ute, we gave the guys our ideas and requests for the designs and they were executed perfectly without delay. We also found the guys to be very helpful and patient with us considering that we were not very computer savvy when it came to website & design work!

We wanted to lift the profile of TDG Building and we feel that we have accomplished this through the assistance of Big Click Studios.

Many Thanks,

Troy & Karen Gruden
TDG Building. “

Here are some photos of the finished ute:

Another happy customer!

Today is the day that Booksaround, an Australian Online Second hand bookstore is launched.

The CMS for BooksAround was written from scratch and utilises the CakePHP 1.2 framework for everything from inventory management through to payment processing and order fulfillment.

Why CakePHP you ask? Well CakePHP offers a strong yet flexible PHP framework to kickstart application development allowing for a shorter build time and a more affordable project for the client.

The BooksAround CMS allows staff to Add, Edit and Remove books from the database with the ease of integrated Barcode Scanning and automated lookups to ISBN databases such as Amazon and Book Finder. The CMS also allows staff to assign a book source (or Vendor) to each entry in the database and a commission percent, upon sale of a book the application will automatically calculate how much is oweing to the vendor from that sale and apply it to their account.

Payments are processed in real-time through PayPal with their Websites Payments Standard product and the items purchased are automatically marked as sold and Order/Shipping information is sent through to a designated staff member who deals with shipping fulfilment. By using PayPal we were able to completely automate the whole order process from start to finish to ensure that the end-user feels confident in placing an order and that the Site Owner can rest assured that the funds will be cleared before the order is processed.

Nearly every aspect of the site can be modified through the CMS allowing the Site Owner to take complete control of the site and its contents, adding/removing a book, changing vendor details, generating sales reports and even editing page content in real-time are available at their fingertips.

All in all the project was a pleasure to work on and the end result surpassed my expectations on the limited budget, CakePHP once again ame to the party by offering an amazing framework to start with and followed through with a solid, speedy and self contained end product.

So go on over and check out BooksAround.com, there are currently nearly 1,000 books available at a great price and you even receive a 10% discount by ordering online!
