In the wake of Formstar and webqem joining forces in 2010, it was decided to harness webqem’s web development capabilities to give the existing Formstar website a good spit and polish.
Well, more like an overhaul to be honest.
The aim of the new website was to enable current Formstar users to stay up-to-date with changes and improvements to the system, whilst also providing key information about Formstar and how it can benefit potential users.

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.
Adobe released their innovative new desktop runtime, Adobe AIR (Adobe Integrated Runtime) last week and webqem was part of the launch activities at the Powerhouse Museum.
Webqem and four other developers were invited to demonstrate their AIR skills by participating in AIR Jam, a competition where participants were each given three minutes to get up and demo AIR applications that they had built – the audience then selected their favourite by an SMS vote.
We showed a prototype of a travel companion application inspired by tripit.com. Especially built for the Sydney AIR launch, travelAIR gives users the ability to manage travel itineraries through a single program.
Users can add activities to their itineraries by dragging domestic airline PDFs or manually entering details using a variety of activity specific forms. Activities that include addresses have the ability to display their locations via Google Maps. Images can be associated with an itinerary by dragging them into it. Itinerary events can be dragged out of travelAir into calendars that support the ICS open standard; Apple’s iCal for example.
Our presentation of travelAIR received the highest amount of votes for the competition winning us a Nintendo Wii and a copy of Guitar Hero III for the office. Check out Barry Beattie’s video below for the webqem travelAIR presentation at the Australian Adobe AIR launch.
