The Work Process

We have worked with Marcus for some time now as he is a great photographer that we have commissioned to shoot for projects we were involved in so we were honoured when he spoke to us about taking over his internet platform and created something that he felt comfortable with.

Marcus is one of the most humble people we have ever worked with (especially in this industry) so we wanted to create something that portrayed this. We began by designing and developing his website which he would use as his main portfolio and face of his work. The site was built using WordPress as the back-end so that he would be able to add and remove images and content with ease.

We then assisted with setting up a Facebook and Twitter profile for him and incorporating these into his site as well as pushing his website on them to ensure traffic is driven between all three platforms.

After the success and growth of readership on we decided to create another site which could be used similarly to a blog that Marcus could utilize to update with images that he photographed that wouldn’t be used as main portfolio pieces but were still great and needed to be shared. This too was built around WordPress and the site has already been linked through from Bands and Artists that feature in the posts. Traffic from here is sent to Marcus’s main portfolio site as well.

The hardest thing as a design company is trying to put time aside to update our own portfolio’s especially when we are working late hours to look after our clients and make sure that their deadlines are being met. Today we finally had a gap to update our Website Portfolio with a few of our favourite sites that we have worked on over the years. Hopefully it won’t take too long to update the rest of the site. Until then, if you have any questions, make sure to Contact Us and we will get back to you as soon as we can.

Our web services include customized design and development according to client briefs as well as internet consulting, customized wordpress development, search engine optimization, web stats, content management, email database list management, e-shots, online marketing, hosting, domain registration and on going support.

Kruger Park Travels

Our head photographer, Marcus Maschwitz, spent 10 days at the start of this month shooting photographs in the bush in South Africa. He has some really amazing stuff that cannot be released yet but we thought we would share these 3 photos. Doesn’t this just make you want to go to the bush and enjoy the wildlife. Nothing is better.
