Mint Cleaning
The client required a custom-built website which showcased their extensive cleaning service in detail – without bogging down the website with heavy content. Design-wise they requested a fresh new design which really played off their branding and their name.
In addition to their custom design, Mint Cleaning required a live price summary calculator for each of their 15 cleaning services. The goal was to provide live quotes via a formulated automatic quote template. We achieved this for the client and their site now functions for them by limiting their normal administrative duties.
The Mint Cleaning website now functions quickly, provides instant quotes, accepts payment, and details the premise of their business as well as their services. The goal was achieved of leaving no question unanswered while developing a website that works for their business like a hard working employee.

The Butler Potts Point
For The Butler Sydney we designed a brand that reflects the venue’s atmosphere as an exotic, eclectic oasis in Potts Point. Just like the garden surrounding the restaurant and the foliage painted on its sandstone walls, the website gives the visitor an impression of vibrant, natural life.
To convey the activity of the venue, we included several moving parts in the site, such as an opening video, parallax scrolling and shapes that change color or move when the visitor hovers over them. The content on the menu pages is laid out in such a way as to resemble leaves on a vine.
This website has it all: complete menus, bookings, gift cards you can purchase online, news & events, a gallery laid out like mason tiles and a contact page with an interactive map and plenty of information on how to get in touch with The Butler. You can even take a virtual tour of Applejack Hospitality’s venues.
