Some case studies from our innovative project work.Online Athlete Tipping System Launched
12 April 2010 - By Sean Fishlock
We've just launched an innovative athlete tipping system for Athletics Australia and here's a quick rundown on why we think it is special.
Strategically this application was aimed at increasing involvement and is a fun and interactive tipping competition which allows anyone to register and create a profile. Once registered users can access tipping selections for athletics events, predicting Gold, Silver and Bronze medals and indicates which events you have and haven't already tipped. The site automatically generates a running score, percentage and leaderboard of all users.
We began building the application in March and it was completed in April. The project involved building a back-end admin interface using the Bravo framework which allows competitions and events to be managed including adding events and cut-offs for tipping, downloading and exporting statistics. Additionally the system is integrated into Clubs Online and Hy-Tek.

New Online Jobs Classifieds Website Launched
02 March 2010
A new online jobs classified web site - workhere.com.au, developed by Datalink, has been launched.
The job board, developed by Brainworks International differentiates from existing employment directories in that it is completely free for SME employers and aimed at being simpler and easier to use for jobseekers with a simple browse and search mechanism being the crux of the site.
While the site features a "no frills" design, technically it is a landmark in that it is the first Datalink website to be implemented using the new Bravo CMS which is released this year. Bravo was used as a rapid application development platform to deliver the complex database functionality linking directory listings with jobseekers and employers.

The site can be viewed at:

Redesigned Bacchus Marsh Grammar Website Lauched
23 February 2010
Bacchus Marsh Grammar have launched a new look website, designed and developed by Datalink.
The site was built in record time (under a week) using Datalink's Freestyler CMS following an intensive design process.
The new homepage features a dynamic slider which fades in and out key messages of the school featuring images of student activities. The homepage also features a latest news section with banners and links to important pages. The header features a keyword search feature while a superfooter or mini sitemap appears at the bottom of all pages providing a useful secondary navigation method. The main sections of the site are "gateway pages" each with their own hero images and thumbnail images of the different site sections. There are links to various internal applications including Intranet and Webmail.

Bacchus Marsh Grammar contributed information architecture work as well as a draft version of the site design. The project was managed by Sean Fishlock and Scott Davey.
