Geoffrey McRoberts

Tiina is an experienced commercial graphic designer, and a skilled copywriter.

As well as designing collateral and branding, she manages creative projects for the team here, ensuring your projects stay on time and to budget.

She is a graduate from Griffith University, Queensland College of Art.

Tiina's strengths particularly lie within corporate branding and typography.

Working alongside a broad knowledge of the creative arts, she has used an understanding of patterning, colour theory and visual communication.

Tiina has created logos, brochures, profiles, advertisements and other marketing collateral for manufacturers, service providers, retailers and more.

Mark has been working in the web industry since 2000 for a variety of clients covering numerous industries throughout Australia and overseas.

Starting in graphic design (pre 2000), Mark quickly moved into frontend web programming and soon to backend database development and server management.

Marks development strengths are PHP/MySql development in a LAMP environment & Java programming for Android phones/tablets. His design strengths range from concept design to finished product using Adobe Photoshop & Inkscape. 

Mark enjoys mobile development for Android (tools like http://androidhtmleditor.com) and predicts that by 2015 most internet interaction including work will be performed via a mobile device through an optimized mobile website or native mobile application.

When Mark gets spare time (not a lot of it) he writes development articles that are featured on both http://linuxdesigner.com and http://sixrevisions.com.

Geoff enjoys working from design through to development to a final website.  He relishes the challenge of coding through complex problems and having conquered something he can be proud of in the end.

He studied multimedia design at the University of Queensland and started off in the accommodation industry.  He built around 30 sites in that sector, mostly focused on achieving Search Engine Optimisation and chasing bookings.  He then travelled to Japan and worked on a very large portal site for a year before returning to Australia and working on a variety of sites before finding Strategy and Action.

Geoff is more a Jack of All Trades than a specialist within website development, so he works broadly within our team on a wide variety of online work.

He sees the biggest web trend will be micro transactions, apps and programs which are all synced online and available from anywhere.  His prediction: “Desktops will transform from lots of programs, to become lots of services”.

Richard Attard

    

Ricky started in graphic design and quickly realised his passion was online in websites and development.  His development career started in Cold Fusion and Actionscript (Flash) and then moved over to PHP.  

Ricky is comfortable in all the essential tools of his trade – Javascript, html, css, MySQL and more – and he has a strength in building online database systems for our clients. 

Ricky is also a practitioner of search engine optimization work (SEO) and search engine marketing (SEM or Adwords) and so he doesn’t just build a website but helps to ‘feed’ it with visitors.  But it’s in the fast-growing area of mobile web that sees him researching trends, current flaws and looming obstacles. 

As more companies see the need to build mobile-friendly websites and smartphone apps, Ricky will be able to help them invest in the right structures and features for their needs.  Lastly, Ricky is also a designer, and has a penchant for illustration.
