Donna Clara Jewellery required a website that would showcase their unique jewellery pieces. Using the Wordpress Content Management System, Donna Clara Jewellery can upload and manage individual jewellery items as they would in an online store but without the payment system.
In addition to this, all of the page content and images are fully editable by Donna Clara Jewellery with a step-by-step manual provided by KM Graphic & Web Design to help guide Donna Clara Jewellery in having complete control and ongoing management over their new website.
Steph approached KM Graphic & Web Design with a design for a personal website she had commissioned from a graphic design agency and needed it implemented into a Content Management System. As the design was already complete and only needed minor tweaking to make web-ready, KM Graphic & Web Design was able to provide a great deal on just the Web Development and implementation.
Again, using the Wordpress Content Management System and a manual provided by KM Graphic & Web Design Steph can now regularly update her website to inform her followers of upcoming gigs and keep an up to date image gallery.
JCT Consulting was a business just starting out and needed an online presence to get their marketing and advertising campaign rolling. They were also interested in receiving website traffic data.
After design and development, KM Graphic & Web Design implemented a few SEO Tools and JCT Consulting now receives invaluable information updated hourly on how many visitors their website has received, where their visitors are coming from, what they are doing on the website, and much, much more. This information will enable them to make better decisions about where to spend their marketing and advertising budget in order to maximise their conversions.
Ray White Margate required their own website to complement their listing on the parent Ray White website, to be individualised but still incorporate the Ray White look and feel. Integrated with a Content Management System they can easily list new properties as they arise which automatically updates their website, saving them loads of time and effort.
Celebrations & Ceremonies needed a website that would stand out in the highly competitive industry of Civil Celebrants. While many of their competitor's websites are informational they are also extremely outdated and over-the-top fluffy. KM Graphic & Web Design provided a modern take on a personal website in an editorial style without the unnecesary fluff. As a result Celebrations & Ceremonies now has a great advantage over their competitors.
"Thanks so much for your fast and professional service. Your design ideas were invaluable. The website is generating plenty of business for me, proving that the investment in KM Graphic & Web Design was the best use of my marketing budget."
- Robyn Meikle, Celebrations & Ceremonies
Being a Software Development company themselves, Manaccom simply needed to outsource the design of their new-look website and wanted to do the store implementation themselves. KM Graphic & Web Design worked closely with several of Manaccom's employees on the project to create a design everyone was happy with. A series of html templates was then created to allow Manaccom's developers to easily integrate their online store software. This was a very successful collaborative project and has made a great improvement on their previous outdated website.
Saralli was already an existing website of the same design, however their previous developer had implemented the entire website in Adobe Flash. This was quite popular a few years ago until people started realising this absolutely destroyed your search engine ranking. Google does not read or recognise any content within Flash!
KM Graphic & Web Design took the existing design and re-implemented it into html and also offered Saralli a few SEO services. Saralli now receives much more traffic than previously and has the data to prove it.
Brisbane Alive was to be a complex and intricate design allowing users to perform multiple different tasks from the one place. Careful planning of the structure and layout was needed to ensure easy usability without over-crowding the front page.
Aloha Spring Break needed a fun and informative website to engage students looking for a place to spend their Spring Break holiday. The website also needed to be integrated with another website's search functionality to enable holiday property searches from the Aloha Spring Break website.
The design of the website has a retro-tropical feel that worked well with the students and enabled the information to be provided in an engaging format.
Hamilton Island Luxury Homes required a website with a luxurious, upmarket feel. Using a basic dark colour scheme and having the focus on the images of these incredible homes, KM Graphic & Web Design has managed to achieve this and create a successful website for the home owners.
Adding to the design is a subtle Flash Animation that really completes the luxurious feel. You can view the animation here...

Similar to Aloha Spring Break (above), Byron Bay Holiday Accommodation is a reseller website that utilises another website's search functionality and property listings to provide visitors with holiday property options in a niche area/industry. By keeping the home page focus on the search box with a simple but effective design, all visitors know instantly upon entering the website what they need to do next in order to complete their goal of booking a property.
This website is a great example of how important user interaction is within a website. A well designed website has been produced by KM Graphic & Web Design with no distractions to the visitor to take them away from booking a property.
PMCE is a chain manufacturing company for the jewellery industry that was in need of an update to their existing website. A design that would suit the jewellery industry but that was aimed at resellers and other jewellery manufacturers as opposed to customers was the challenge presented. The produced design allows for a lot of information to be shown in a pleasing way and easy navigation through all the available jewellery items.
Although the website does not allow purchasing online, the website is integrated with an online store module allowing PMCE to manage all the products and page content themselves.
"Our objective was a clean uncluttered site that would be easy for our customers to navigate. From our initial consultation with Kate we were confident that she would produce a site that we would be happy with. Kate addressed all our requests promptly and professionally, offering constructive advice along the way. We have since recommended Kate’s services to other businesses."
- Meg Kapitany, PMCE Jewellery
A very straight-forward project, Maui Pacific Solar simply needed a website to present their information to potential customers that would also be in a higher class than their competitor's websites. A simple 3-column layout combined with some great imagery and easy navigation has produced a very effective and timeless website.
The Car Studio website is another example of what can be achieved with a well thought out design and great imagery. A trendy yet simple website that also conveys a feeling of elegance was produced and received so well by Car Studio that they then commissioned some of their stationary needs to KM Graphic & Web Design.
A great little project to work on, Golding Wines is a classy website with the dual function of encouraging users to order wines online and showcasing press releases on their well-known product.
The Depression, Anxiety and Stress Test website presented a unique challenge to KM Graphic & Web Design. The design needed to be inviting while dealing with a sensitive topic and conveying a sense of trust, safety and professionalism.
By using a neutral looking character on the Home page (quite a popular trend), the website visitor can really empathise and place themselves in the website and also feel like they aren't alone. It encourages them to go forward with the DAS Test and receive help if needed.
Beauty & The Beach had been working with another developer to get their website up and running. But after too many setbacks and things going wrong they decided to cancel the project and take the work elsewhere. KM Graphic & Web Design was able to step in and assess what had already been done and what still needed to be completed in order to get the website working. In this way KM Graphic & Web Design was able to provide a 'best-price' quote on only the things that actually needed doing.
The website was quickly completed to KM Graphic & Web Design's high standards and was able to go live without any further delays.
Rack Pack was in need of a budget solution for a web presence. They wanted their details to be available online in a professional manner, without the cost of building a full website. The solution was to use a very simple design for a one-page website. Although not as complex or intricate as some designs, this solution was exactly what Rack Pack needed to kick-start their web presence and give a solid starting point if they wish to expand in the future.
"Rackpack is a company that builds communication switchboards which are largely sold to government departments or authorities. Advertising is not a consideration, but rather, I wanted a site to which I could direct potential clients to view specifications and a gallery of completed communication switchboards. This simple site has so far saved me with the time and cost involved in producing and posting professional brochures."
- Jeff McConachie, Rack Pack
Similar to Rack Pack (above), Box Of Matches started with just a simple one-page website. They already had several other advertising pieces in place, but adding a website to their details and then providing relevant information on their website put them in a higher class than their competitors.
Soon after the website went live they realised that one conversion covered the cost of building a full website that would keep on giving more conversions. Box Of Matches now has a full website with an image gallery and SEO package which has paid back their investment many times over.
"Prior to developing the Box of Matches website, we had in place a range of advertising strategies, including local newspaper, Yellow Pages, Truelocal, Hi-pages, along with vehicle signage, and sms & fax broadcasts.
We started with a one-page site development, which was implemented at the slowest time of the year. This was a cost effective way of linking our advertising to more detailed information about the services that we provide. This gave our advertising a significant advantage over competitors with no website. We further expanded the site to a five page site. Follow-up SEO reports from Kate have shown our advertising is bringing in 3 times the number of enquiries that it used to. On top of this we are now receiving direct hits to the site which we expect to increase as the Google PageRank improves.
Our total investment in the site to date (nearly 12 months) has been less than the profit on the first job we received direct from the website."
- Glen Dunlop, Box of Matchesk
Azzurra is a large bathroom hardware manufacturer with their own IT department in-house.

They needed one reliable person to come in and get the website done quickly without any fuss.
Since the successful completion of that first project, Azzurra has been a regular client to KM, relying on KM to take care of any extra work their IT department can't handle. With projects including stationary design, website updates and producing full brochures, KM has been able to provide Azzurra with an affordable solution to their overload of IT and graphic needs without all the fuss of having to hire a new employee in-house.
A feminine but modern website was created for Heart N Soul Massage to provide online information to their customers. After successful implementation Heart N Soul can now easily refer customers to their website to read about their services.
