Website Launch - Cedardale Park

Sun, 01 Jun 2008 09:20:55 GMT

Achernar Solutions is pleased to announce the release of another client project – the website for Cedardale Park Pet Crematorium. Run by Andrew Pittaway, Cedardale Park provides a personal and discreet pet cremation service for across the Northern Rivers region of New South Wales. Working with vets in the area, as well as private customers, Andrew wanted a website that could provide information to vet clinics as well as individuals looking for cremation services after the loss of their much loved pet.

Over the past few weeks, it has been a pleasure to work with Andrew and build the Cedardale Park website.

We helped Andrew to construct an online image, establish the key information he wanted to present, and deliver this to the visitor as easy to read website copy.

The design for Cedardale park has been an interesting one with it’s own distinct set of challenges and constraints – Andrew’s business is marketed to a wide demographic, and visitors can often be emotional or distraught when looking for information on pet cremation. As such, the design, imagery and page copy is intended to be as open, supportive and as dignified as is possible. While many of Andrew’s competitors have websites that are designed in heavy colours with sombre music, we focused on a design that is uplifting, simple and, most importantly, respectful.

Achernar Solutions wishes Cedardale Park all the best with their new website, and look forward to working with them in the future.

If your business needs an online presence, or your existing website needs a facelift, please don’t hesitate to contact me.

Achernar Solutions is pleased to announce the release of our latest web application development project – Trust Me. I’m A Salesman.

Achernar Solutions is proud to have been able to work the TMIAS team in the development of TMIAS.COM. Over the past 6 months, it has been a pleasure to help to take the site from a concept and a few preliminary designs into a fully functioning Ruby on Rails application.

Operated by a team of current and ex-salesmen, TMIAS.COM is a niche social networking site that aims to give salespeople an online forum to share stories, tips, jokes, advice, mistakes and take part in polls. The site hopes to provide a resource to help inspire and motivate salespeople, or just share a laugh about the lighter side of sales.

Achernar Solutions wishes the TMIAS team all the best with their new venture, and invite you to check it out.

You can read more about how the TMIAS.COM site is implemented in my portfolio, or head on over to the site to check things out for yourself.

If you have an idea for a web application and need someone to help you to implement it, please don’t hesitate to get in touch with me – I am always happy to discuss how Achernar Solutions can help to turn your great idea into a high quality, effective web application . With previous experience developing a wide variety of applications, I am confident that Achernar Solutions can deliver the site that you want, with the features that you need.
