Just a bunch of quick news slapped together
You may have noticed that there were no fresh posts in the english section of our news, but there were quite a few in the croatian one. It’s only fair that we bring you guys up to speed:
- Oct 2009: InfoTrend had an interview with Vanja, our CEO (linked story is not in english, sorry). InfoTrend is a croatian magazine for IT business managers, being published since mid-1992.
- Nov 2009: Ordinacija.hr won an accessibility award from CARNet (Croatian Academic and Research Network) at the 2009 WebFestival.
- Dec 2009: Ordinacija.hr won best regional magazine award at Web Fest 2009 in Belgrade, Serbia. And a super cool golden statuette that came with. Also, we rolled out a new feature called “Hello, Doctor?” which gets actual MDs to answer your health-related questions (you just have to register on the site, for free).
- Jan 2010: A story on how we make custom-tailored websites and power them with core.web gets published in Manager.hr, a wednesday section of Večernji list, (a national paper). Here’s a clipping of the story, and yep that’s Vanja in the photo. Not because he’s the CEO, but because he’s the most handsomest in the agency.
What else is new? Mmmm… we’re going to be launching a couple of sites in the near future and yet another expansion for Ordinacija. —Oh we got a new team member! Lana bakes cookies for us. :) We just need to put up her profile in the who section. She’s going to be the Little Red Ridinghood.
We've redesigned Medikol.hr
We’ve been keeping busy with another big site and it’s just pure coincidence that it too is health related. Medikol.hr is the redesigned (and by redesigned we mean built from scratch) website of a prestigious and rapidly growing polyclinic in Croatia. The site’s content has been carefully reworked to serve all (potential) patients; we wanted to help site visitors familiarize themselves with where & when they’re supposed to go, what does it look like over there, which doctors are they likely to talk to etc. The site also has a Knowledge Base that is supposed to continually grow and serve info such as explanations and guides for patients. Thats it for the news, everyone get ready and lets all head in for check-ups :)
Red band-aids all over Ordinacija
Last week we had a soft launch of Ordinacija.hr, a site we can definitively call our new BFF. Its footer says beta, its header says gamma, we most certainly have alpha written somewhere in the code (you win a doughnut if you find the line, however please note we will say it has already been claimed) but those are just indications we’ll be working on it a whole lot more.
The owners of the site are Multimedia 9 (no link as they don’t have a site), a bunch of cool people that we love very much, whose staff makes sure there’s a lot of things to read every day, all health, happiness, beauty and —most importantly— food related. Besides being a healthy lifestyle portal, they also have a huge addressbook of private practices all over Croatia, which is yet to shine in its full glory. It’s accessible from Ordinacija, but also from a separate domain Doktori.hr (Doktori means Doctors).
Well, we’re off to stick some more red band-aids all over it. Feel free to go surf the site, hope you understand the language.
We're dropping IE6 support as part of our standard service
You already know we build websites for clients, right? We’re very commited to making these sites higly useable, and to writing their code so it’s standards-compliant. Until now, we’ve been putting a lot of extra effort getting those sites to work well in Internet Explorer 6, Microsoft’s web browser from 2001. Well, no more. Read on.
