New Website Development: Artificial Wedding Flowers by Mika

Artificial Wedding Flowers by MikaSumico Net launched a new website, Artificial Wedding Flowers by Mika.

URL: http://www.artificialweddingflowersbymika.com.au

The client is selling artificial wedding flowers and the client has a website http://www.mikasfloraldesigns.com.au/index.php.

This new website is specifically targeting brides to be – wedding bouquets.

This site is developed with a Content Management System.  I created a template and 6 pages.  The client is updating other pages by herself.  The website has an accordion slide show which has link to the other pages and another slide show (fade in/out) in “Real Weddings” page.

It is the most important for them to show product images with relatively large images. We used the pop up window for a larger image when visitors click a product image.

It has a contact form and we installed Google analytics for the client to monitor and analyse the statistics.

Do you need a website?  Please contact us for quotes or inquires.

Web Review: Art Project powered by Google

Google Art ProjectArt Project powered by Google
 http://www.googleartproject.com/

Google recently launched the Art Project which allows you to visit museums and art galleries in the world online.

You can see the details of art works.  I was looking at the Gogh’s work and I was amazed to see how Gogh uses paints and brushes!

The website offers a function like Google Map street’ view. It allows you to see the inside of the museums or art galleries as you feel like you are walking inside and viewing the artworks.

It contains information of facilities, floor plans, locations, history, and description of the artworks. The floor plan shows you which art works are in the particular gallery room, etc. I was so impressed how much details this project displays.

Sleeping GypsyI like the way that I can zoom into the art work and can see the details of the brush stroke, paints, and colours.  It is a fantastic website.

This is one of my favourite art work “Sleeping Gypsy” by Henri Rousseau at MoMa in NY.  I have seen the real one in NY once and I really loved it. I am very happy to be able to see it online and zooming in to see the details.

I can see those wonderful art works any time when I want it.

Isn’t it great?

Google’s Art project will be an excellent way of showing the greatest arts to adults and kids.

Web Review: A4 Orikata

I was born and brought up in Japan.  I left there 20 years ago, but still I have special place for my home country Japan and its culture. I like subtle but detailed things that Japanese culture offer.

Packaging, folding papers…  Origami is one of the traditional culture in Japan.

A4 Orikata is the website which displays one of the beautiful Japanese culture. If you click the second button on the left, you can see thumbnail images, if you click one of them, you can download the papers and how to fold it.

We use these small envelopes to place the money to give, or use as a letters.

I like this web design because it is simple and minimal but you can see the details, and this website is showing the beauty of Japanese culture.

Web Review : Manga News

In Japan, Manga, Comic books are very popular.

When you visit Japan, you would be surprised how many comic books are available at the bookshop and how many people are reading comic books in Japan.

Many publisher launched “How to” books with Manga, because those type of the books are using more friendly approach than normal text books. It appears to me those books with Manga can describe more details and help to understand the contents.

For some people like me, the news about Politics, or International affairs are little bit difficult to understand.  Now an Internet News Manga Website was launched in Japan. I have read a couple of news and I was amazed how easy to understand than reading texts news.  It may not be suitable for the news headlines, because it does not give you a strong impact that some photographic images do, however it is easy to grasp the contents.

The one that I have downloaded from the web site is a story about the Brisbane Flood.  It is surely easy to understand and help the readers to remember what is going on visually, I think.

I realised that there are more Manga workshop are held in Brisbane where I live. One day, we may see the similar thing in Australia?
