On Friday 6th August the new look Core Equity Services website was revealed.

Originally launching in March 2009, Core Equity Services represents the consolidation and history of some of Australia’s pioneers in straight-through equities trading and broking services.

Since that time, Core Equity is a leading provider of wholesale broking solutions to some of Australia’s largest financial institutions, offering a range of products and services.

The new look and feel is aimed to showcase the entire product range that sits under the Core Equity umbrella in a simple and easy to navigate website.

The brand new St Luke’s Care site is now live! St Luke’s Care is an independent, not-for-profit, charitable organisation that has delivered excellence in health and aged care for 90 years. Our main challenge in redesigning the new site was presenting the four key business areas: Hospital, Home Care, Aged Care and Apartments, equally, whilst still clearly positioning the St Luke’s Care brand as relevant to all four.

The project included requirements definition, wireframing, copywriting, organic SEO, and design and build. There is an emphasis on clean and clear navigation throughout the various page levels on the site, along with testimonials and links to virtual tours, in context. Rich landscape imagery and Flash galleries on specific pages have been used to give life to the pages and to work in concert with the copy to clearly present relevant information to the end user.

The new MCC Transport site recently went live after 1 year of analysis, design, development and testing. MCC transport is a subsidiary of the A.P. Moller – Maersk Group, and are an Intra-Asia carrier delivering containerised cargo  through an extensive feeder network.

The new site gives customer’s the ability to make and amend bookings, submit shipping instructions, approve draft/verify copies of their documentation, download online Bills of Lading, share Certified True Copies of their documents and print invoices relating to their shipments.

The site went live on Oct 19 with a soft launch, followed by an email blast out 2 weeks later that saw traffic quadruple. We’re all very happy to see the site up and running, and thank everyone for their hard work in getting such a complex site build live.

oneworld Alliance has undergone some major changes over the past week. Not only have they welcomed a new airline – Mexicana – but they have restructured their whole website and launched their brand new mobile site.

The integration of Mexicana and the restructure to the site began way back in Feb 2009. After 10 months, oneworld, webqem and a plethora of other agencies involved in translations, tools and design launched the site on Nov 10th to resounding success. At the same time, the newly designed and built mobile site was launched as well.

A big thank you to all of the teams involved in such an epic project.

Congratulations to Virgin Mobile on launching their new eShop! webqem is proud to say that we had a hand in bringing this new and improved online store to fruition.

Starting back in March 2008, webqem was hired to provide UI guidance for design, function and overall usability and customer experience. Consequently, the resulting wireframes and corresponding notes were taken and used by the in-house Virgin design and development team as direction for the site you see today.

Good work from the team at Virgin Mobile!
