Draculas

www.draculas.com.au

Newman Entertainment, the company behind the popular Dracula’s cabaret restaurants, asked us to re-design and re-develop their site during 2011. The objective was to not only update the look and feel of the interfaces, but to bring together their entire suite of properties under one easy-to-maintain url (they had previously maintained a number of sites servicing two restaurants, a shop, photo downloads and the haunted house).

We were required to bring together all of these elements in a way that was easy for staff to maintain, usable and logical to navigate for their visitors and integrated with their internal booking system, running on ‘filemaker’ to allow for eCommerce and online booking integration.

Eastern Ranges GP Association

www.ergpa.com.au

The Eastern Ranges GP Association (ERGPA) is a not-for-profit organisation that assists local gp's and a population of more than 225,000 people in the outer Eastern suburbs of Melbourne, Australia with training, information and other vital support services.

ERGPA approached Thirst Studios to undertake a usability review and redesign of their existing site in order to improve the user experience. A key success of the redesign has been the simplification of certain common, yet complex user tasks such as finding appropriate resources and publications within the wealth of information available.

Mary & Max

www.maryandmax.com

We developed this engaging, animated site to promote Academy-Award winning director, Adam Elliot’s brilliant feature-length claymation movie, 'Mary and Max'.

The site makes extensive use of Adobe’s flash technology to provide an interactive experience that reflects the wonderful movement and ‘feel’ of the film. With such beautiful artwork we really couldn’t go wrong!
