People For a Nuclear-Free Australia is a pretty self-explanatory title. The site aims to pull together ground level support for thwarting Prime Minister John Howard’s plans for developing a nuclear power industry in Australia. If anyone needed further reason to vote the Howard Government out come election time later this year, his plans to mine […]

A new site went live today, for the forthcoming publication of The Money Club, an updated edition of a book first published in 2001 by my wife Hazel when she was at Random House Australia. Hazel is now Commissioning Editor at Murdoch Books (whose website is also my work) but the authors, who like many

There’s a lot to be said for keeping it simple. The latest website to emerge from the Onsmansion is for McCarthy Mentoring. Wendy McCarthy has been a client of mine for several years and we’ve taken her personal website through a few incarnations in that time. When Wendy brought her daughter Sophie on board to

Another pro bono site went live today. This one is somewhat larger than the CIWF Australia web page, a website for a chap by the name of Daniel Boon (!), who wrote a booklet called the Guide to Energy Efficient Home Design and cold-called me (well, cold-emailed) on the basis of my work on the

I put up a new web page today – “launched” seems too grand a term for what is after all just one page. This particular page is for Compassion in World Farming Australia, the local arm of a global organisation based in the UK. CIWF works to eliminate inhumane practices toward farm animals around the

Another site I designed and built went live tonight. Juniper Films are documentary film makers who specialise in capturing stories and images of the South Pacific. Their 30+ year history is also marked by a pretty handy sideline in chronicling lives and events in the Australian arts industry. A highly enjoyable project, this one. Just

It’s probably time I owned up to this one. That might sound like an odd way to add another site to my portfolio, but the Tooling Australia project is a bit different to the others. It’s been built for Internet Explorer, for a start. Yes, that is the browser that is used by – as

My fourth site launch in the last three weeks – will the madness never end? Still and all, I’d rather have too much work than not enough. I’m still not quite convinced that this web design / development bubble won’t suddenly burst. This website is for a book called This Way to the Sea, a

March madness continues as another site goes live. Apart from presenting another challenge of getting as close as possible to a truly “good” site (with all that implies about the quality of the code, structure, content, design etc), this one has two aspects that may be of particular interest. Firstly, the Languages Education in Australia

Another day, another site launch. This project has the distinguishing characteristic of being a revamp of an existing site, also designed and built by me for Financial Education Professionals in October 2003. My client is a provider of training services to financial insititutions, helping them to meet their obligations under Australian company law. This is
