Web Development

Developing this site was my first real effort at creating a D6 site.

Its been an interesting piece of work as it was for ourselves rather than a client so I have been really heavily involved in the detail aspects of the site. Most of my experiences have been significantly better than with previous versions.

I would say that after spending weeks on this site that I am left with two particular things that stick out in my mind, book outlining and menu management.

IO1 limited have been involved in development for the last few years, primarily in the corporate and social networking arena. During this time we have always had our internal brand values that we adhered to but never actually represented these in terms of a logo or other brand elements until now.

We spent the last two months going through and in-depth branding process to help us gain a real understanding of what we are all about and how best to visualise this.

"Thus we may know that there are five essentials for victory"

• He will win who knows when to fight and when not to fight.
• He will win who knows how to handle both superior and inferior forces.
• He will win whose army is animated by the same spirit throughout all its ranks.
• He will win who, prepared himself, waits to take the enemy unprepared.
• He will win who has military capacity and is not interfered with by the sovereign.
