iQmultimedia

What We Do

iQmultimedia is a full-service creative agency. We develop a vast range of marketing and development solutions that are geared specifically towards your audience and usability.

We provide graphic design services and branding, web design and development, print, motion and custom software development.

By working collaboratively with our clients, we aim to achieve the best possible communication strategy. We like to have fun while we’re at it too.

Design Services

Our design services include:

• Print Design

  There’s nothing quite like the tangible experience of holding a printed piece of beautiful design. The texture, colour, weight, smell… it’s something that electronic mediums will never replace. These elements go together to create a lasting impression that can alter the perception of a company, service or product.

  The key with print is having the perfect balance of copy, images, paper and finishes. iQmultimedia have experience developing all types of printed material including: brochures, catalogues, annual reports, stationery, packaging, billboards and signage to name just a few. We’ve partnered with Australia’s best printing companies to ensure exceptional quality at affordable prices. Let iQmultimedia ensure that your printed materials and your brand are on same page.

• Web Design

  There are plenty of website companies out there to choose from, but very few who can match our high design standards and expertise. At iQmultimedia we are always looking to push the boundaries of creativity to build outstanding websites that inspires their target audience.

  We design from scratch, clean layouts that are user-focused, intuitive and which communicate the unique values of your brand that work in harmony with your other marketing activities and collateral.

• Brand Development

  Branding is about much more than just a logo. Your brand is how you are perceived in the world. It is the emotional response that people have when they think about your company.
  It is the umbrella, the sum of all parts. This can include a logo, tagline, advertising, public relations, products, catalogues, websites - anywhere your name appears.

  The importance of achieving the right "look and feel" for your business cannot be underestimated. Our stunning visual identities will effectively and consistently communicate your brands message across every medium.

• Motion and DVD Production

  Make sure your next corporate DVD presentation or televsion campaign cuts through the clutter with iQmultimedia’s innovative DVD productions and stunning motion graphics.
  Our creative team’s can-do attitude combined with professional expertise and state-of-the-art equipment will ensure your production is a success.

  We can also produce premium quality and photorealistic 3D modeling and animation.

• CD-ROMs

  The most popular use of CD-ROMs at iQm is for the creation of interative presentations and to distribute files and multimedia that is too big or inappropriate to deliver over the internet. With an iQmultimedia produced CD-ROM you can be certain your presentation will be one to remember.

Development Services

Our development services include:

• Web Development

  iQmultimedia prides itself on its award-winning web development. Our developers are fully qualified, and are fluent in all the major web technologies (and many minor ones). Where other agencies are forced to finagle solutions into your website, our in-house development team are uniquely capable of producing high-quality custom development work that seamlessly integrates into the design put forward by our design team.

  Web development work involves two distinct components; frontend (or user-facing) and backend (all the code that makes the site tick). Unlike other local development houses, we have developers specialising in each, meaning we take as much pride in the work that you don’t see as the part you do.

  Our highly skilled backend development team are capable of high-quality, high-performance code. We can work our database storage and dynamic web interfaces around any existing systems you have. Our work is forward-looking, too; we document all our code (so it can be easily maintained far into the future), we leverage our work off established frameworks to reduce the likelihood of bugs, and if required we can arrange to release all the code to you (and you’ll be able to take it anywhere else if you so choose). We develop our backend work in PHP (to allow for the broadest possible range of deployment options), but our team is capable of both ASP.Net and ColdFusion too, if required.

  Our frontend development team are the best in the business. Fully qualified, our frontend team has been building effective websites for over 10 years. While our team ticks all the technology boxes (XHTML, CSS, Javascript, all focused on progressive enhancement), our capabilities extend beyond code: our focus is your focus. We tailor your site to embrace your marketing strategy (with special attention paid to search-engine optimisation and brand development) and we target the top end of the usability spectrum. In fact, user experience is the core focus of all our development work. It encapsulates everything from style to layout, to accessibility.

  With all our talent in one convenient location, the reasons for choosing iQmultimedia for your future web development needs are clear. But it’s important to note that we’re also capable of extending or modifying your existing site as required, including your corporate intranet.

• Content Management Systems (iQcontrol)

  If you can’t edit your website yourself, it’s not really your website. iQmultimedia’s Content Management System (or CMS), named iQcontrol, puts you in direct control of your website. Take control of the entire sitemap, the text, the photos, and even the email address your contact form points to! And because we build iQcontrol ourselves, you’re not limited to the capabilities of iQcontrol out of the box. We can custom-build modules around the specific requirements of your site; from shopping carts to calendars, from real estate properties to automated newsletters.

• E-Commerce Solutions

  Local businesses can benefit from a world of customers by allowing them to buy your products directly from your website. iQmultimedia has built e-commerce solutions that can integrate with your bank for direct credit card transactions as well as with third-party solutions such as PayPal and Google Checkout.

  We’re serious about online security, so all our e-commerce facilities are fully secured with SSL, and all credit card transactions are verified against by the National Australia Bank.

  Our shopping cart solution is always tailored to meet the specific needs of each site it’s used on. Where appropriate, the cart features dynamic real-time notifications of cart additions, live-updating item counts, and the ability to incorporate multiple sizes and colours of each product into a compact, easy-to-use interface.

  Like all our software, iQmultimedia stands behind its e-commerce solutions, and work hard to ensure peak usability with minimal complexity.

• Search Engine Optimisation (SEO)

  Search-engine optimisation is not a product that can be purchased, applied and benefited from immediately. Instead, effective SEO requires a targeted development strategy.

  While iQmultimedia develop its websites around effective best-practices, the key to great SEO is well-formatted content.

  iQmultimedia work closely with you, the content producer, to target the text on your website to best integrate with your marketing strategy. We can provide monthly reporting and analysis services in-house, keeping you informed as to the effectiveness of the SEO you’ve instituted.

  We can also help you with writing for the web, including optional copy-writing services.

• Touch-screen Kiosk Software

  We were founded on touch-screen software and know what it takes to produce effective touch-screen interfaces.

  Unlike other software developers, we have usability experts on-staff to ensure the final product doesn’t just satisfy your needs, but those of your users too.

  We can work with you to develop an effective software/hardware combination, with our unique combination facility of software development and kiosk fabrication. Our kiosk software can be run either locally on the kiosks (for free-standing or graphically intensive applications), or it can run over the network for connected machines.

  While our traditional field of expertise is in kiosks, we’re uniquely qualified to apply our skills to other touch-screen applications such as mobile devices and embedded hardware.

• Custom Applications

  One of the key advantages of dealing with a smaller business for your development needs is the degree to which we can customise our output to meet your specific requirements. Since we build all our software in-house using established best practices and development frameworks, we’re able to modify our own retail software to your needs, as well as developing wholly-custom software unique to your requirements.

  iQmultimedia employ qualified experts in both Windows and Mac application development, and we can do software for the web and mobile devices too.

  We work closely with our clients at every stage from problem definition to proposal to development and deployment. We’ll also be available as required to modify or extend the software as required after user-acceptance testing and deployment.

  We’re not limited to development either; we can handle everything in-house; design, user research, usability review, development, user acceptance testing and full deployment. Rest assured that with iQmultimedia, you’ll never be the only one helping your project succeed.

  And since we understand the hesitation you might feel about entrusting your software to a small company, so if you prefer, we can sign over code ownership to allow you to modify the application in the future; with or without our involvement.
