Recent projects undertaken by Darcsyde include:

Kew Physiotherapy Centre
This site needed a clearer, friendlier, less cookie-cutter look and a new webhost, url and domain name registrar.

We retained the basic one-page nature of the site but broke the information into explanatory text and information sections. We changed the colour scheme to reflect the nature of the business and included physio-at-work images to give a more dynamic feel.

ZIPT Grooming for Men
The site for this inner-city salon and day spa for men needed a bright, clean, masculine look and for the sections to be shortened and subdivided to make the content easier to read.

We used cool blues and greys and strong dividing lines and boxes to evoke a professional masculine feel. The text reworkings and additions were entirely client-driven. The final product has evoked much positive response.

The Australian Quilters Association website
This site was designed and built from the ground up, including writing completely new copy for the web. The black and white logo - perfect for print - was given a new look by transforming it into a colour wheel made up of various patterned fabrics.

The design emphasis was on clear, easy-to-use navigation for an audience not highly familiar with the web. A prominent place for images within the design was also an important consideration for this group of highly visual individuals.

This website is currently being maintained by AQA volunteers using Macromedia Contribute.

Tentacles Convention website
This site was restructured and redesigned. The design added color and a castle motif to evoke a bit of the fun that convention-goers experience during the convention itself. The restructure was to make all the pre-existing information easier to find, and to add new sections to make the site more attractive to potential convention attendees who have not been to Tentacles before, and to those who have and wish to reminisce.

The Tentacles Convention website is active January through May each year.

3MBS FM website
This site required a complete redesign, as well as edits and additions to existing content. The design used warm dark colors, with a couple of elements from the world of music thrown in, to appeal to the kinds of listeners the station attracts.

This website is now completely redesigned.

Wheatgrass Active website
This site required a completely new look, and some expanded content and secondary navigation - notably in the Retailers section. The bright and off-square design gels with existing product branding in terms of signature colors and logo elements.

This website is now being redesigned and updated by in-house personnel.

International Coach Academy Classroom
The design for this site was mocked up by a third party, but a significant amount of design and layout work was still required to fit the content not specifically considered by the designer in the original design. Using and expanding upon the design we were given, we coded up the site.

The ICA Classroom is a password-protected environment and hence can't be viewed by non-students.
