Portfolio See synopsis below or choose links from main menu Aged Care and Retirement Villages This is perhaps Kook's best case study for Search Engine Optimisation, let alone web development. We have taken more than six Queensland and Australia-wide retirement village websites and revamped them to ensure they are both functional and easy to use, but also increased search engine traffic. One of our clients boasts more than 20% of their successful sales are developed by leads coming directly from their web presence - that is, someone finds them on search engines first, rather than from traditional marketing efforts. Agricultural industries No-one can deny it's a challenging time for Australia's farmers. As the population heads for a "seachange" en masse, and regulatory forces and climate changes affect farming practices, the agricultural industries are increasingly looking to streamline their processes and communicate their wares to a wider audience. Automotive From local caryards to automotive website portals, Kook has delivered specialist advice to the Australian vehicle industry for more than seven years. Our largest project to date features the best selection of Sunshine Coast used cars and is visited by approximately 3000 people searching for local cars per month. Building and construction A burgeoning real estate market means property development is about as hot as it gets at present. From project builders to high-rise construction we've played a part in helping these businesses grow. Business services We have helped many business services firms grow their client lists as well as build their websites. Munro Thompson Lawyers came to us with a new site that had next to zero exposure on search engines and, as a result, only a handful of visitors per month. Within just three months we had the site firing with top 10 results in Google including lawyers queensland. Computers / I.T. It's a huge feather in your cap when leaders in other IT fields use your services. Whether it be database-driven software solutions or multimedia to explain products, Kook has it covered. If you need a partner who understands the web world as well as the wider IT community, we're the people for you. Crafts and hobbies Kook Multimedia started life building CD-roms and websites for the craft industry, especially patchwork interactive quilting, scrapbooking and embroidering. Since then we've evolved into Content Management Specialists, but that doesn't mean there's not still plenty of work to be done in this field. We have programmed several applications for the craft industry, and with our intimate knowledge of the subject we can achieve some great results. Education You could argue that the web itself is all about information and education. Kook has delivered several projects to education bodies from Cdrom to website design to online learning tools. We also have several products specifically tailored to e-learning, such as our Online Learning Management System Solecta. Employment The internet has turned the employment markets upside down with the likes of Seek becoming massive national business ventures. We have programmed several employment sites (albeit a little more modest). Finance From insurance to superannuation to welth creation to personal investment advice, Kook has developed a range of finance websites for a myriad of businesses. Franchises Kook has worked with several national franchise companies, helping to strategise and develop many software tools as well as websites. We have also worked with many ERP software packages such Attache, Sage Pastel, MYOB Retail Manager, Profit Point, Sybiz, Exonet. Government Government bodies are increasingly looking to Kook to deliver projects on time and on budget - from Local Government to Smart State initiatives to systems such as healthcare and transport. Kook is also GITC accredited. Health / Food Kook has worked with many companies in the health and food sector to deliver information and advice on their products, weight-loss and nutrition. There is a growing need throughout the western world to combat increasing rates of obesity, especially among children and many of these products and services are aiming to address this. Marine and boating From power boats to marine generators, Kook has worked with clients in facets of the nautical industry. Media / Press Kook Multimedia's managing director Glenn Corbet was a journalist for more than a decade working with Rural Press, APN News and Media Ltd, London Newspaper Group and the Weekly Telegraph (London), which stands Kook apart in terms of understanding both new-age and traditional media. Medical Medical and surgical supplies, pharmaceuticals and more. So much of the world's medical business is being done electronically that from selling medical goods online to warehousing management system procedures to streamline business processes and reduce the cost of goods, the entire process from doctor's waiting room to surgical implements to dispensary is evolving. Mining and industrial The mining industry is booming, and with it so too are the associated industries. Kook has helped position many mining and industrial businesses to take advantage of this upturn in metals and resources. Property Real estate - some say the boom is over, some say it's about to burgeon again. One thing is for certain: Australians will always need a place to live and those same Australians are flocking to the internet to find their new dream home. Recruitment With such a tight labour market and low unemployment rates, recruitment services are in high demand. Kook has delivered several recruitment websites as well as intranet solutions and administrative functions. Retail Retail therapy. More and more consumers are using the web to research products and where to spend their valuable expendable cash. They are also increasingly using internet to actually purchase and have goods shipped to their door. The design of your website, from its aesthetics to its navigation structure to its ease-of-use will dramatically affect your conversion rates, so it's important to talk to a website design professional about your needs. Tourism and accommodation Arguably the country's strongest assest is tourism. Whether that be Australians travelling for a weekend getaway or international tourists jetting in for a tour of "Down Under" accommodation houses and local attractions have pride of place on the web. From a business point of view it's an ultra-competitive field, so you need someone who can ensure you stand out from the crowd. Sport and fitness If there is one thing Australians love more than any other it's sport - from Dad joining the gym to little Billy signing up for the local soccer club. Not only have we developed several websites for sporting associations, we have also developed software (from simple to complex) to manage draws, timetables, results and more. Sport business With so many Aussies involved in sport it's only natural that there will be a whole range of businesses dedicated to servicing the need created. Kook has worked with businesses from sports shops to international procurement services. Wholesale / B2B / Debtor information systems This is perhaps Kook's key specialisation. We take data from your internal ERP software and export it to your website automatically (usually updated daily) match it to photos and build your data into a purchasing / ordering system. No matter whether that is for retail customers or debtors, you can allow your customers to order with pricing specific to them, put it on their account or pay directly via crerdit card there and then. The efficiencies we can achieve for your business are enormous, leaving you to spend more time selling and less time processing and delivering.
