Design & Development Client: Blueworld
Just a quick note to say the new Blueworld website is live! Three weeks of blood, sweat and tears (plus lots of Pizza and coffee) but we’re proud to say the site is finally done! Blueworld is one of the largest websites we manage in the South African web space.
As mentioned in my previous post about BW, we have expanded to 1024px width. This allows us to fit in more on each page and improve the content layout.
Some of the site’s features include blogging, video uploading, photo uploading, clubbing galleries, featured content and the ability to MMS photos (soon video aswell) straight to your profile from your cellphone! (Beat that!)
I will go more in depth about the site and how we designed/built it later on. For now pop over and post your feedback in the comments below!
ps - We slapped together a new logo as well, props to the Fox..

It’s been a busy few weeks here at the infin8 offices. Not much time to type out lenghty blog posts so let me just update you on our web development.
We recently completed one of our largest web projects to date, BlueWorld.

A few other projects we have completed is Savare, SWPS, carBlog (revamp) and Micasa Restaurant.
Then finally, Hannes Brink, has joined the infin8 ranks and in will be heading the in house development department. He has experience in php, flash and javascript. A very good combination!

Zoopedmail.com online ZMAIL
Another project that has been gathering dust on our shelves for a while has somehow managed to see the light! Zoopedmail.com, is online powered by the Marak webmail software. You get 20 mb inbox space which is generally enough, no advertisements and a very lean interface.
This project is still very much in beta, we plan to implement many features into the webmail interface like instant chat with other ZMAIL users.. can you say ZChat!!!
More on this project soon. We are busy ’skinning’ the inbox.
AlfDuncan auctioneers revamp online
Just a quick blog to note that Alf Ducan auctioneers website is about 99% complete. The website has been live for a few weeks with testing - www.alfduncan.co.za
From the asp.net driven backend you can add articles, images and auctions to the site. Hosted on our platform.
Cape Town tourism blog online
It’s been a big week here at the *infin8 Head quarters as we roll out yet another blog! The brain child of Malan Jourbert, CapeTownBlog.co.za, was setup to capitalize on the World Cup fever come 2010. Cape Town will be a center piece for the tournament which attracts hundres of thousands spectators every four years.
The blog has a very realisic design with Table Mountain being the featured element. Light shades together with smooth lines round up the blog’s feel. Malan is our in house designer and has really been pushing out top shelf art work. Were confident foreign traffic will flock to the site, blogs are very dynamic and search engines index them fairly quickly.
Now to get to work on the keywords for the blog, the term “cape town” is very competitive. Beautiful city we have!!

The master minds here at *infin8 Solutions have put up another world class blog, Monkey’s Fist!

It’s been a super busy week here at the Infin8 Solutions offices. We moved to a more spacious residence with a huge office area. Our business is expanding every month with employees, work load and website’s in our *infin8 network so the new added space has been welcomed by all. Our new street address is 6B Mariner way, Gordons Bay.
We are proud to annouce the completion of the Alf Duncan auctioneer’s website. Full front end and back end development implemented. www.alfduncan.co.za
Dirk Visser photography and Cancune Lounge’s websites will be launched within the next week, both clients are really eager to get their web presence online. We had some delays with testing servers and photography issues which have been resolved.
Shizzle cocktail bar’s website is about 70% done. The website is up, www.shizzle.co.za, but is still under construction. We hope to complete the website by the weekend.
Then on a very positive note *infin8 Solutions secured a contract with BlueWorld.co.za to do all their front end work. This includes all their print artwork and website design - html/css. All visual aspects of Blueworld Media will be outsourced to us.
We have also been sponsored uncapped wireless broadband by “24/7 Wireless resellers” which is partly owned by Blueworld’s parent company.
I went to the ‘Geek Dinner’ hosted by StormHoek wine @ Relish this past Wednesday. Jon Cherry from CherryFava was one of the speakers. I really enjoyed the evening in the company of Ashley from LSDev and look forward to the next.
