Tennis BrisbaneCategory: Sport & Leisure
Tennis Brisbane aims to provide Brisbane tennis enthusiasts with the best tennis programs possible with a special focus on team tennis competitions that allow women to play with and against their male counterparts of a similar standard.
Tyssen Design was commissioned to redesign and rebuild their existing website built with Joomla to not only give the site a new look, but also to make the process of adding and updating content by Tennis Brisbane staff much easier using ExpressionEngine as the content management system. As well, new features like a map of all the participating tennis centres, and tables of fixtures and results, were added.

Brisbane District Golf AssociationCategory: Sport & Leisure
The Brisbane District Golf Association (BDGA) hosts individual and pennants events for players in South East Queensland and the site provides event information, results and online registration all powered by the ExpressionEngine Content Management System (CMS).

Player and pennants team leaderboards are then calculated dynamically and displayed on the site. The CMS also calculates the best performing individual players for a season so that BDGA staff can choose an interdistrict team of their best players.

Brisbane SpineCategory: Medical
Redesign of the website for Dr Paul Licina, a spinal surgeon based at the Holy Spirit Northside Hospital in Chermside, Brisbane. Dr Licina's previous website was one of a group created by the same company which all had a similar look and features, and didn't give the doctor or his staff the ability to update their content easily.
So the redesign was not only aimed at giving Dr Licina's site its own identity, but also used the ExpressionEngine Content Management System to enable practice staff to update the content of the site themselves, which includes easily adding and updating staff profiles and their profile pictures, links, forms, study notes, as well as integrating the practice's operating list calendar.

Client testimonial
John was recommended to reconstruct our out of date website for several reasons, including his experience, professionalism and ability to communicate. His qualifications are also impressive – journalist and computer whiz!
After initially contacting John, he promptly arranged a meeting in which we discussed our specific needs at length. John then provided us with a written proposal to ensure we were on the same page.
During the time John was reconstructing our website, we were moving a business and generally going through significant change. We are very appreciative of the fact that he went about his work in an extremely polite, patient, considerate, efficient and cooperative manner.
As the need arises, we can make changes to our newly constructed site using excellent instructions provided by John. Additionally, should we need assistance; he is reassuringly only a phone call away.

Index GroupCategory: Business, Real Estate, Sport & Leisure
Redesign of an existing website for the Index Group which has businesses in mineral processing, industrial properties, investments and horse racing.
This site was produced in partnership with Creative Pulse Advertising + Design who handled the graphic design of the site.
Tyssen Design's brief was to take the design and integrate it with the ExpressionEngine Content Management System to enable the site owners to update the site's content themselves.
Because the Group is a conglomeration of businesses with different interests, each part of the site had slightly different requirements, some of which included:
- categorised image galleries of mineral processing production equipment
- listings of properties for sale and lease with associated image galleries and separate contact form for each
- latest news items
- horse profiles with photos, press articles and stud information
- brochure downloads

Clipper Motor YachtsCategory: Sport & Leisure
Redesign of an existing CMS-driven website to give the site owners more flexibility in the design of their pages and also more control over their content.
ExpressionEngine was used as the CMS and it was customised to integrate a new site design and to incorporate features like photo galleries and 360° virtual tours of the yatchts, contact forms, a mailing list and a news section.
Using ExpressionEngine meant that the templates could be tailored to include the information specific to the different models of yachts and also meant that the site owners could conveniently update all the information relating to any one model, including different media, from a single editing form.
Produced in partnership with Websites That Sell and James Drury Design.

Assembly of Confessing CongregationsCategory: Non-profit, Religious
The Assembly of Confessing Congregations (ACC) is a Uniting Church of Australia organisation. Work on this project began with a site for the Cross Cultural Commission which was eventually subsumed into the ACC site. Their website is powered by the ExpressionEngine Content Management System and this project involved graphic design, CSS/HTML template creation and then integration of the template into the ExpressionEngine Content Management System (CMS) which enables ACC members to update the site themselves – adding content in the form of articles, sermons, news, images and videos; listing congregations around Australia; and making edits to pages whenever required.
The site also incorporates several additional features including a discussion forum, members area and photo galleries and the project involved additional customisation and integration to incorporate these modules into the site.

Frantastic CakesCategory: Catering
Design of a brochure website for Frantastic Cakes, whose owner, Fran Taylor, has more than 20 years' experience in baking and decorating cakes developed from her own recipes.
The aim of the site was to promote Fran's services in her area (Sydney) and since it's launch in July 2006, the website has received a regular stream of visitors which has resulted in a high level of enquiries. This is due to good search engine rankings for keyword phrases relevant to the business with the site currently ranking in the top 20 on Google, and with good placement on other wedding-focused directories.
The site features a gallery of images of the different cakes available and a basic AJAX shopping cart to make it easy for site visitors to add their choices.

RSPCA VolunteersCategory: Non-profit
Creation of a separate sub-site for RSPCA Queensland's Volunteer section.
The Volunteer section wanted something that would help promote its activities as well as attracting new volunteers.
The brief was to create something fun with the focus on the people and the animals as well as creating an on-line volunteer registration form for potential volunteers to apply for volunteer positions and the ability for staff to add, edit and delete these advertisements.
Since the site's launch in 2005 there has been more than 1600 on-line applications for different volunteer positions at branches, shelters and thrift shops across Queensland and volunteer admin staff have been able to manage the positions they advertise easily to cater for where the need for new volunteers is most required.
The back-end of the site was also redeveloped in 2009 to integrate it with the ExpressionEngine Content Management System to RSPCA staff complete control of all their job listings as well as all the other content on the site including photo galleries.

I would personally recommend John to anyone.
