Warners Bay Community Garden

The WBCG website is a portal for gardeners interested in coming together to learn about growing fresh fruit and vegetables locally.

The website is a key tool in their communications to members and the wider community, displaying recent news, FAQ's, photo's, related articles and an integrated forum.

The system uses the Taylor Initiatives content management system (CMS) so that the web pages can be very quickly and easily updated with the minimum amount of technical skill required by the administrators.

Hunter Valley Martial Arts Centre

Hunter Valley Martial Arts Centre chose to host their website with the Taylor Initiatives eCommerce Framework for 3 major reasons: it provided the rich functionality they required for their online store, the quality of graphic design suited their budget, and it empowered them with the ability to update their own website without using cumbersome upload tools.

The website is now an informative reference site for current students as well as provides an online retail store with everything the serious Martial Artist needs. HVMAC import, wholesale and retail to provide their customers with the best quality products at competitive prices.

The Agility website is designed to be a source of knowledge for anyone inquiring about tree lopping or removals. There are links to local councils, a gallery of past work and a form for requesting a quote.

Sweet As... Cakes

Kerrie Holmes started out just making 'special cakes' for her children's birthday's. Since then, Kerrie has grown this into a fulltime, professional cake decorating business with a shop front in Boolaroo.

Kerry needed a website that provided an elegant yet functional representation of the type of cakes she provides. The site is divided into a series of sections that show many examples of her past work. The images are displayed in an easy to use slideshow that the user can navigate.

Storer Check

Storer Check was designed to assist self-storage facilities for the purpose of maintaining a database for the identification and collection of information about problem storers. Storers who have defaulted on their storage agreements, storers who miss payments, storers who abandon goods, storers who threaten staff and other problem storers are able to be listed with Storer Check.

The Storer Check site is an excellent example of how a custom application can be integrated with the Taylor Initiatives eCommerce Lite Package. It also demonstrates the strong multilingual capabilities of the system as it has been launched in several international regions.

Comfort Shoes Charlestown

Comfort Shoes has been operating for over 12 years in the dynamic commercial centre of Charlestown, NSW. Pat Foster is an experienced business woman who has a keen eye for things that can help make her operations more successful.

Taylor Initiatives was invited to convert the existing "Shoes and Gifts" website into an online shopping system. For a retailer such as Comfort Shoes Charlestown, the eCommerce Professional package was ideal.

SWS Signage

SWS light-heartedly describe their target market as "gambling and vice" and as such, required a website that was vibrant and engaging.

SWS Signage is based in Sandgate, Newcastle NSW and has established itself as a leader in signage for the hospitality and entertainment industry. SWS prides itself on constantly being at the forefront of sign innovations. To this end, they are constantly introducing new products, finishes and materials to the market.

The eCommerce Lite Package suited SWS perfectly, as the purpose of the website was to dazzle new and existing clients with a portfolio of their products. They specifically required the flexibility to be able to alter their own website content on demand and provide the most up to date information to their clients without resorting to costly graphic design or technical alterations.

General Communications Pty Ltd

Gencom is based in Wickham NSW and is the largest provider of GPS and mobile radio communication solutions in Newcastle, the Central Coast and the Hunter Valley regions.

The original Gencom website had been operating for several years before Taylor Initiatives were approached. Despite the high costs previously incurred by their chosen graphic design company, Gencom were frustrated by the lack of control they had over their own website and the reliance upon their graphic design company to make even the most minor content changes.

The eCommerce Lite Package grants Gencom the freedom to not only adjust their navigagation menu as needed, but also deliver new and informative information to their customers when it becomes available for no additional cost above their monthly hosting costs.

Lake Macquarie Dermatology

Lake Macquarie Dermatology is based in Toronto, Newcastle, NSW and provides expert care for all skin related problems, as well as professional advice on maintaining and improving skin health and appearance.

As as traditional service-based business, the eCommerce Lite Package suited Lake Macquarie Dermatlogy perfectly.

Col Taylor Model Supplies

Prior to establishing a web presence, Col Taylor Model Supplies already boasted an established mail-order system for both domestic and international consumers from their headquarters in Wagga Wagga. With the introduction of their online store, Col Taylor Model Supplies has increased their turnover by over 20% and significantly increased their rate of telephone inquiries as customers began to realise there was a bargain to be found here.

Being somewhat daunted by the technical aspects of owning an eCommerce website meant that Col Taylor Model Supplies were pleasantly surprised at how easy the eCommerce Framework was to use. It gave them the ability to update their own website without any technical knowledge or cumbersome upload software.

Today, Col Taylor Model Supplies is a valuable source of information for the hobby enthusiast. Subscribed users are kept informed whenever new information is published to the website, and online ordering has become an additional source of sales.
