45 Million Visits in 2011

Friday, December 23rd, 2011 [ Posted by Patrick B ]

The numbers for 2011 are out and they’re pretty impressive! More than 45 million people visited a website created or managed by webqem this year.

This is the same as the number of:

  • Tourists who visited New York city
  • People who bought iPads
  • Registered users on Dropbox
Our biggest single site averaged 10,000 visitors per day.

webqem.com was lower down the list at 200 visits per day.

A few interesting stats:
  • The 45 Million visits came from over 100 Google Analytics

Rebuilt from the ground up – OzForex

The last calendar quarter of 2011 has proven to be ‘really big projects go live’ quarter… and amongst that number we’re proud to see OzForex’s new website up and running.

With over 80 wireframes, 60 page templates and 4 videos delivered, this was no standard front-end design project. Our team essentially reverse engineered the OzForex site in scalable format – for 4 international sites – Australia, Canada, UK and NZ – as well as a standalone mobile version. The scale of functional improvements include a new currency calculator, very cool FX Dashboard, set of 3rd party partner tools and full deals application – in both website and mobile format.

Over a year in the making, it’s wonderful to see the end result live – and we’re looking forward to the feedback from users as they move to the new system.


oneworld’s fresh new face

2 years in the making, we’re proud to have just launched a completely redesigned and rebuilt website for the world’s best airline alliance – oneworld.

From initial concepts in late 2009, through new information architecture, wireframes and workshops at oneworld’s headquarters in Vancouver, to the application of new branding and a completely rebuilt content management system – it’s been epic.

The launch went without a hitch and the results have already been very enthusiastically received – no mean feat given the number of entities involved in approval and sign off.

We’re already looking forward to a number of incremental improvements in the coming months and ever closer integration between the websites of oneworld and the airlines that make up the alliance.


New webqem Adobe training initiative – ready2teach

ready2teach logoWebqem is pleased to announce the launch of a brand new Adobe software training initiative for educators – ready2teach.

ready2teach offers educators an informal, just-in-time approach that will help make the most of the Adobe licenses you have.  Being able to interact with the trainers in a “virtual classroom” means you can tap into a mine of information.  And if you can’t make the live sessions you can view them later anywhere, anytime.  The topics cover all the key aspects of Adobe’s Creative Suite so there’s bound to be something to suit every educator – in teaching, administration or research.

This is an excellent opportunity for all teachers to improve  their knowledge and skills, while experiencing the virtual classroom environment.

For educational institutions it offers a cost-effective solution – to provide training opportunities for all staff – while maximising the investment in ICT.
