Wandjina Tours

The Worrorra People of the North-West Kimberley Region of Western Australia are the traditional custodians of the world famous Wandjina rock art. They have recently began to conduct cultural tours on their country, inviting visitors from all over the world to experience their land, their traditions, their Lalai (dreamtime) stories, arts and crafts. Their wish is to encourage the younger members of their people to retain their culture, bring their families together on their traditional lands once again and provide an income which will help them to live independently.

At Tasty Pixels, we were deeply honoured to be entrusted to play a pivotal role in a project which will help an entire indigenous community reinvigorate itself and walk into the future whilst honouring its past. The colours of this wordpress site reflect some of the paint colours used in the Worrorra people’s traditional artists’ pallets. We placed a large animated banner on the home page to draw visitors into the beauty of the region and an experience of the tours. The result is a beckoning combination of visuals and emotions which will draw any visitors directly to the contact page! View this site now »

The Tranquil Loft

The Tranquil Loft is a massage, yoga and Complimentary Healthcare practice in Cronulla, on Sydney’s Southern Beaches. Tasty Pixels built their first web site in 2006 so, although the site still looked fantastic, we figured that with so many new technologies available that we could keep ahead of the competition with an upgrade. The new version is built in WordPress, making it easy for the owner to maintain the content and, with appropriate plug-ins, the Search Engine Optimisation features required to keep this site ranking near or at the top of page one on major search engines.

The new site features a gorgeous, colourful banner with enticing images and text, with plenty of call to action lines. The body of the site has a clean, readable appearance which easily leads visitors to the Contact Us page! View this site now »

Birding NSW

Birding NSW is one of New South Wales’ most prominent recreational bird watching and conservation organisations but their site was old, looked very much past its used by date and failed to represent them and their activities in an enticing manner. Tasty Pixels was called in to spruce up their image and convey the passion which their members feel for birds, nature and conservation in a way that would build enthusiasm for their activities to members and visitors.

We built a site which played to the strong suit of birds – their beauty – with a large animated banner featuring some of NSW’s most beautiful, loved and interesting birds. Each banner image holds text which encourages enthusiasm and calls the site visitor to action. The remainder of the site is kept clean, efficient and, of course, “Google friendly”.

Freshwater Cove

Freshwater Cove is the site of Australia’s most remote coastal camp. Most visitors are keen sports fisherman seeking out an adventure in this totally wild corner of the country. However, “the cove” also offers cultural and wildlife tours and some of the best whale watching tours in the world. Camp Manager, Peter Tucker, approached us with the desire to have a site which would communicate the feel of the location, and the connection one feels to the vast antiquity of this part of the world. However, he also wanted to connect with potential customers in their own language.

Tasty Pixels created a new logo for Freshwater Cove, conveying the primitive feel of the landscape, it’s primary interest – fishing – and echoing the method that many indigenous artists of the region use for depicting stars. The site itself is an eye-grabbing fusion of primitive and clean and modern. It features beautiful imagery displayed in Flash banners with sophisticated and highly appealing transitions. The whole package is contained in a custom WordPress format, making it dead easy for Peter to maintain a news page, update his image gallery and stay on top of his booking schedule. View this site.

Macquarie Marshes Environmental Trust

The Macquarie Marshes is one of Australia’s largest and most iconic inland wetlands, famous for its mass breeding events of waterfowl and ecological complexity. In recent decades the marshes have been suffering from a number of environmental and management issues and are now a shadow of their former selves.

Local farmers have formed the Macquarie Marshes Environmental Trust to purchase large sections of the marshes and restore them as centres for education and conservation. The Trust approached us with a desire to create a logo and website which would convey their message, assist in fundraising and be easy for them to maintain. We responded with a logo design depicting one of the more iconic resident birds against an abstract reed background and a custom WordPress site which draws on the colours of the marshes and uses flash presentations of their activities and wildlife.

The entire package lends the credibility required for Trust to present themselves to all levels of government and instil confidence in potential investors. View this site.

Link Locksmiths

Link Locksmiths is a busy enterprise offering their services to the Sydney CBD, Eastern Suburbs, Inner West and Lower North Shore.

Flash Websites, site components and Flash Banners

FLASH HAS come of age and is now Google friendly! With it’s “sky is the limit” animation capability and interactive functionality, Flash is a great tool for drawing attention to areas of your site and for creating teaching aids. We have ways around the invisibility of Flash on iPhones and iPads.

• As a general rule, we no longer recommend the use of full Flash websites.

Tarot

Tarot is a small “on-the-side” concern of the Tranquil Loft, for which Tasty Pixels created a complete standards-based site. The owner, and Tarot Master, Suzanne Ward  approached us to build a site which would draw visitors into an experience of a Tarot reading.

The result is an extremely engaging Flash site which uses the striking imagery of Tarot cards and a card flipping menu to draw visitors into a full experience of this Suzanne’s message. View this site, but beware, the card flipping menu is totally addictive.
