Emperors Mind store
I built a store for Emperors Mind, a premium Mac reseller in Melbourne. What makes this store different to most online stores is that most of Emperors Minds clients are on a special discount program with Apple, or Adobe. Therefor the prices of Apple or Adobe products needs to be adjusted to reflect their discount model.
Update: Be in quick as they’re closing on the 26th of June 2009.Closed now: Bye bye Emperors Mind.

Wine tasting website
A new project for my client Liquid Assets. This site is a departure from their storage website, and instead focusing on wine tasting. (Which is a passion of the director at Liquid Assets).

Tip: Quick and Dirty start to generating fixtures for testing
A quick and dirty way to get you started on getting some of the information out of your database and into a fixtures file. (For testing your Rails applications)
script/runner "puts User.all.to_yaml" >> spec/fixtures/users.yml
Now there is still a lot that you’ll need to edit out of the file. Such as the “serialised ruby object” declaration at the start of the file, and empty attributes. This isn’t intended to automatically create your fixtures, it’s just a quick tip on an easier way to start.

Emperors Mind website
Emperors Mind is a boutique Apple Reseller.
I was asked to create a site that allows Emperors Mind to be more “transparent” to their clients without effecting the exclusivity of their brand.
The strategy was to allow their clients to view every aspect of their account with Emperors Mind. From clients current orders, inventory, their purchase order history and all service’s Emperors Mind have done for them (in the form of ‘service calls’). Some clients have massive amounts of information that can be viewed. The search results had to be quick, intuitive and I thought that I would add a touch of fuzzy logic to it, to make the experience a bit more ‘personal’.
There is a section of the website dedicated to the ‘EVENTS’ with in Emperors Mind. From employees getting married & having babies. To the informative event nights held by EM for their clients. Here you can check out the past events inc. photo’s, RSVP with a click of a button to upcoming events (if you are logged in), you can add the event to your calendar, or even subscribe to them all Emperors Mind.
There are many things that you don’t get to see- The event section is managed through the website.
- Adding the information and details for the events.
- Uploading and deleting photo’s. (that get resized on the fly to make it really simple)
Update: As of 26th June 2009 Emperors Mind have closed their doors. One of the directors is now working on developing iPhone applications.
Update Amanda is still working in the industry. Her mobile: 0414 587 902.
- The event section is managed through the website.

Silvana Del Bene Photography
“Build a website that was as easy to maintain as it is to navigate”.
The website employes a tagging systems that provides a flexible means of cataloguing the Silvana’s work. When she uploads photo’s, she can tag them at the same time. Creating the bases for the navigation through the website. The website is smart in how is treats the images as well. As it resizes images into various sizes and changes the images format as well, in case Silvana uploads an image that isn’t web friendly.
