OUR WORK & case studies
Web Design
Membership site

OUTCOMES
OUR Creative WORKFLOW
The crucial first step in our process is taking a brief to understand the audience and the business outcomes you want.
Once we know these, we quickly plan a launch-pad site and get it up and running.
Then we proceed in a series of small steps to add functionality to the initial site, testing the changes and measuring the overall effectiveness with users.
With this real-world data, we work with your staff and executives, so that together, we can make the next development decision based on the facts we have gathered.
NOT FOR PROFIT SUPPORT
One of the charities we support is a Driver Awareness course provided for Year 11 students in public and private schools. We needed a bold, impactful design aimed primarily at teachers and school administrators to first of all capture their attention and then provide useful information to help them make a decision to teach the course in their high school.

SMALL BUSINESS WEBSITES
Website to support a marketing campaign
Many startup businesses require an initial sales campaign to make their presence felt in the marketplace.
This website is for a corporate writer and was designed to support other marketing channels like emails, flyers, cold calling and social media.
Many potential customers will open up your website during an initial sales call from you, just to confirm who you are. They will often judge your credibility and reputation based on the information on your website, and on its quality and ease of use.
Presentations
Whether you are talking in-person, one-on-one on the internet, to a group or an auditorium, a slide presentation can add impact to your communications.
brochures & print
Print is a vital medium for information memoranda, investor information, pitch documents, sales brochures and printed and PDF newsletters.
VIDEO & TELEVISION
Film, television and video production to succinctly communicate the main marketing points using the most powerful medium ever.
“If you always do what you’ve always done,
you’ll always get what you’ve always got.”
HENRY FORD
USE BOTH FACTS & EMOTION
There is a lot at stake in a marketing presentation. It’s a unique opportunity to convey your point of view to a customer with power and precision.
Your message needs to be communicated in at least two ways:
- Rationally . . . using hard facts.
- Emotionally . . . using context messages.
Anywhere. Any time. And every time . . . Digital Streams helps you to present your business story effectively, using both facts and emotions.
Other Works
Digital Streams’ experienced staff produce all manner of digital communications, from writing strategic proposals to websites, brochures and magazine, email newsletters, video production and business management software. Here are some samples:

BUSINESS APPLICATIONS
The road to Excel Hell is paved with good intentions.
Excel spreadsheets start small, become useful, get added to, are copied, edited and stored locally, shared via email, become part of a

Keeping all of your data, documents and processes in a central repository is a key to avoiding those problems. There are many workflow applications online and many times, these work very well out of the box.
Digital Streams can advise you on how to adapt these to streamline your business and put you in control of your financial and operational data.
Or we can develop a system for you, precisely tailored to your unique needs.
Our workflow solutions have helped customers get a minute-by-minute overview of their business operations while acting as the “source of truth” for all operational and reporting data.
Here is what can be done:
- Manage your customer information and sales pipeline.
- Create projects, save budget spreadsheets and assign resources to tasks.
- Monitor progress by hours worked, results produced and budget commitments.
- Send automated emails and notifications when assigning work, creating purchase orders, accepting reports and documentation.
- Accept supplier invoices against purchase orders and job numbers, and when they are approved, upload them directly to your online accounting system.
- Monitor staff work hours, resource utilisation, estimates to complete and job yield in real-time and get warning notification if things are going out of specification.
This custom FileMaker database was developed as a desktop application for both Macs and PCs. All staff connect to a central database, so they all share the same information. Access and security are straightforward to control, so managers get their view of the application, while sales and production teams can only see data that they need to perform their duties.

Case Study
News Publication System
The Daily Star Concept
This was an integrated development of a community newspaper site. Digital Streams developed a web-portal using the highly robust .NET DNN platform that allowed for a very flexible layout and tight editorial workflow.
This was coupled with a weekly print run of a tabloid newspaper, laid-out with Adobe InDesign using the website content management system.
Local advertising sales were managed by a bespoke Filemaker Pro database system.
The online version of the community newspaper used a highly modified DNN publication framework and included real-estate listings, local business directories, clubs and associations as well as an index of local artists and a video library of local news stories.
