The technology solutions you want to know about.

Every business is different, everyone knows that. That is the simple reason why both your web presence and your in-house applications should be individual, personal and affective. With a touch of personalised flair we bring your solution to you with simple elegance. Of course, in that process we have not forgotten that you need a robust solution that will serve you not just now but well into the future. Our designs are developed with your specific business needs in mind to make them not just suitable for today but easy to modify to continue to meet your organisational needs well into the future.

What you really need is something that you don't need to replace every few years and spend months searching for that 'perfect product'. Don't infect yourself with buyer's remorse through a predetermined package. In your gut you know that it is designed to suit someone else's sales structure rather than what your business actually needs! Come to us - we know you need a solution that will work for you today, tomorrow and beyond.

On our team are some fantastic systems analysts and other experts which can take your clunky web site and replace it with something that 'just works'. At the Looking Deeper Trust's design centre we have a core focus on building robust solutions to meet business needs. No matter what problem we are bought in to solve we believe that ninety per cent of the answer lies in the selection of the most appropriate hardware and software for the project. From this strong foundation we seek to build a solution that is holistically designed to allow for future business needs and can grow with your business. Then, we then engage some of the best creative minds to wrap your solution in a design that supports usability, work-flow (or traffic flow) with a unique visual appeal.

WAHMtastic! - The Brief

Prior to it's new design, WAHMtastic was based upon a make-shift web content management system that was originally designed for the publishing on recipes! Our specification included extracting the web content from the existing site and moving it to a new database driven solution that would flexible enough to support their new Online Treasure™ hunts, their Work at Home Parent directories as well as other features that are still cooking that we can't yet mention!

Graphically, there was a need to move away from the previous pink and orange theme as well as to pull away from the old template graphics which were only available under license with a view to the current design be one of several visual changes as the site re-brands itself over the coming couple of years.

The Solution

For this web site we have constructed a customised web content management system that will manage all of their advertising directory needs, provide the various forms for their online games as well as automatically generating the code snippets required to make the games work. This web site is positioned to allow a smooth growth pattern and the ability to add new features to meet it's needs well into the future.

Organic Learning - The Brief

Organic Learning is a very simple web site that is designed to be a resource primarily for home educators. With the learning environment 'Moodle' being added as a sub-domain to the web site it was important to select a theme that could be easily carried across both web sites in the future. The web site itself is primarily driven by blog aggregation collecting blog posts from home schooling families their own blogging tool and from other home-ed bloggers from Australia and around the world. In addition to that, is the provision of articles for publication on the web site and information on learning resources that can be found across Australia. This will be expanded on as a full internet resource once Moodle is also added.

Our Solution

The 'Organic Learning' has been established using a well known content management system enabling users to add content and give members the freedom to participate in the site as much or as little as they like. The 'Organic Learning' name is derived from it's counterpart 'Natural Learning' which is a well known home schooling term. Also contributed to by the thoughts of John Taylor Gatto, who coined the term Open Source Education after reading the Cathedral and the Bazaar, open source is a pillar of what this web site exists for - the open sharing of educational resources to enable others to grow. This web site has been built upon open source technologies from server to content management.
