• Splurge Multimedia is a fast-growing Internet consultancy, which brings together the diverse skills and experience required to build effective web sites.
• Splurge Multimedia specialises in web site creation, development and publishing. To publish effectively on the Internet you need to bring together skills and knowledge from different disciplines; a marriage of your ideas and and our expertise.
• Splurge Multimedia offers experience in traditional and electronic publishing, design, marketing and web programming. So your site will not only look good, it will work on many levels. Splurge Multimedia will help develop your ideas and create a Web site specific to your needs.
• Splurge Multimedia is located in Melbourne, Australia.

• Splurge Multimedia began as a publishing consultancy in the early 1990s and quickly moved into web publishing in response to clients needs.
• For the past five years, Splurge Multimedia has been building web sites and developing a strong client base.
• The Principal Consultant Greg Williams has a wealth of experience spanning journalism and editing, marketing and public affairs, publishing and web design.
• The fact that we can also draw upon expert knowledge from supporting disciplines - from photography to systems engineering - means that Splurge Multimedia can provide a total solution to web site development, implementation and maintenance.

Design

• Splurge Multimedia will consult with its clients so that the 'look and feel' of the site reflects their aspirations and achievements. Splurge Multimedia has experience in using all the major design software applications and understands the need for economy and style, as well as ease of use.
• Multimedia designers can be consulted and contracted where necessary. Their services are included in Splurge Multimedia's total price. However, as part of a site analysis Splurge Multimedia would evaluate existing photographic and artwork resources for their suitability and/or adaptability as Web graphics.

  Building

• Splurge Multimedia offers practical experience with translating the written word into the language of the Internet, Hyper Text Markup Language. Using a combination of purpose-built word processing macros and site building software, Splurge Multimedia understands how to construct a site efficiently and in good time.
• A solid understanding of how people interact with technology means that CGI scripting, such as interactive forms and image maps, is used appropriately - to improve the usability of the site, not as a gimmick. We can also implement access counters, time and date information, full site statistics and Java scripting, if required.

  Maintenance

• Splurge Multimedia can install a site on your server or provide you with a site though its Internet service provider. Rates on application.
• World Wide Web sites need to be changing and growing. Commitment to this practice means that your site is on the way to being among the very best.
• Maintenance and re-evaluation are part of Splurge Multimedia's approach to all its sites. Updating of information, improvement of the interface and site maintenance will be undertaken on an ongoing basis as part of a maintenance contract, if required.
• Your site will be registered with with all major Internet search engines. Splurge Multimedia will also maintain a full backup of your site.

Hourly rates

• The Schedule of Prices which we submit is based on a standard hourly rate for our services and those of our associates. We believe that because Internet publishing involves the inter-relation of many skills and disciplines it is not appropriate to charge by task or operation as do many multimedia service providers. There will be no specific charges, for example, for updating a link or scanning a GIF. Our total price is calculated on this basis.

  Batch processing

• Splurge Multimedia will be developing a specific set of custom macro routines to streamline the process of creating the documents which form the basis for a site. Depending on the original format of content, processing approaches can be suggested and implemented which are the most efficient and cost-effective. Only tried and tested scripting is to be used, minimising time spent in development and customising.

  Low overheads

• Our major asset is know-how, and this is what you are buying, not floor space, lease deals and wage bills. Splurge Multimedia oversees the entire project and our total contract price is includes the services of programmers and image makers where their expertise is warranted. More detail can be providedon request.
