'Welcome to AusPharm.net.au, Australian pharmacy on the Internet. We hope to keep you up to date with what's happening in pharmacy in Australia. AusPharmacist.net.au is your web portal to pharmacy in Australia, with links to everything you will ever need. Indeed many of you will have had this set as your browser home page for years. AusPharmList.net.au is the Internet discussion group for Australian pharmacy. Ideas are debated, opinions sought, problems put and solutions found. AusPharm.net.au will run opinion pieces from industry leaders and will link to published material elsewhere likely to be of interest to AusPharm subscribers.'

AusPharm.net.au is composed of three separate sites, www.auspharm.net.au, www.auspharmlist.net.au, and www.auspharmacist.net.au. This site went live on August 1st 2004. While www.auspharmlist.net.au has been going since January 1996, and www.auspharmacist.net.au since April 1997, www.auspharm.net.au is a new site aiming 'to provide pharmacists with all of the latest news and information relating to pharmacy practice in Australia'

The original www.auspharm.net.au mock up was designed in March and April of 2004, and with a positive response from within the industry formal development was started in June 2004.

To separate the sites content from its structure a Content Management System was written from scratch specifically for the site. The layout is designed primary with CSS, with the aim of having a table-less layout.

With Auspharm being three sites drawn into make one, AusPharmList and AusPharmacist were subsequently redesigned to have an interface consistent with www.auspharm.net.au. All three were tested extensively in a range of browsers, for cross-browser compatibility

The hardest part of the whole design was converting the 8 years worth of postings to AusPharmList into XHTML, and a format that allowed them to be loaded dynamically into the site structure, rather than free-standing HTML pages. There were many other challenges along the way, but at the end of the day it was all great fun.

This is the site for The Dover Hotel. It went live in March 2004.

It was heaps of fun to put together. The site is full of magnificent clickable images for larger viewing. In a place like Dover a picture tells a thousand words!

Esperance Press is a small publishing company based in Dover, Tasmania. This site was designed and went live in March 2004. I have worked for Esperance Press in the past, having been a consultant to some of the cover designs, and designing their flyer's, in partnership with Esperance Design Group Enterprise (EDGE).

In 2002 I designed the cover to Ordinary Women by Edward Kynaston, and subsequently the web site(2003) and the postcard(2003). See the Design Page for more information.

The Esperance Press motto is 'Truly Tasmanian', and all their book are fantastic reads.

This site was set up for Southern Ocean Adventures in November 2003 as part of my course in IT, in partnership with Narelle Hind.

The Owner, David Wyatt, is a Cray Fisherman who is passionate about surfing, and setting up an adventure surfing business.

David takes his clients to remote parts of Tasmania's southern coast to experience the ocean in a more solitary environment.

'Ordinary Women' is a book written by Edward Kynaston and published posthumously by Esperance Press in October 2002. The site was set up in September 2003.

It is the story of three women, their escape from Dresden during the fire-bombing of the Second World War, and arrival in Australia. A very powerful story, well worth the read.

Edward Kynaston's widow survives him and lives on Bruny Island, Tasmania.

I was given the job of maintaining www.auspharmlist.net in March 2003. Auspharmlist is an online list for Pharmacists to discuss current events, and ask advice from other pharmacists.

In November 2003 I was given the job of administering the site in addition to maintenance. The site gets updated daily, except weekends.

Its a fascinating site, and some of the discussion threads become both entertaining and highly educational with respect to what goes on in the field of pharmaceuticals.

This was a site I set up for The Cape Bruny Lightstation in January 2001 to advertise the Light-station and its history.

The Cape Bruny Lightstation is now being leased. There is a house which is available for accommodation, and Light-House tours are available by bookings.

This site is about to under go a major overhaul, as the accommodation is what they wish to advertise.

This was the first site I Fully Administered. I was given the job in October 2000. The site for The Dover Online Access Centre, acted as both a description of the organisation and what it offered the community, as well as a portal for the Dover region and the Far South of Tasmania.

My first job was to upgrade the graphics on the site so that it more appropriately portrayed the township. Adamsons Peak is the most outstanding feature of our community. Considerable time was also spent simplifying the navigation of the site.

I administered the site till September 2002, when it was replaced by a Content Management System. At the time I was disappointed, as i had spent months and months working on the site, only to have it replaced by something I felt could not represent the Dover Online Access Centre & Dover itself.

I maintained the site until June 2003, when I left the position as coordinator at the Dover Online Access Centre.

This was a site I set up for Far South Regional Arts in September 2000 for their Southern Waters exhibition. It was great fun to do, and I had complete artistic freedom on it as it was a freebie.

The exhibition was comprised of many works from local artists, and was very popular. Another exhibition was added to the site six months later, but little extra was added after that.

The site itself was hosted as part of the old Dover Online Access Centre Web Site and as a result no longer active.

This was the first site I did maintenance on. I started in April 2000, and re-wrote it in August 2000 when the magazine was bought by the The Dover Community Telecentre, who i was a volunteer for at at the time.

The site was set up by the Dover Online Access Centre as a means to print community news on the internet. It initially consisted of just plain html pages, later it became an archive of .pdf versions of the magazine.

I took over administration of the site when I took on the job of putting the magazine together.

The site itself was hosted as part of the old Dover Online Access Centre Web Site and as a result no longer active.
