Access theme for activeCollab

Monday, September 15th, 2008

Here at Creative World we use activeCollab to manage and collaborate with client projects every day. It’s a great application and I don’t know where we’d be without it. Over the last few weeks I’ve been working on a new theme for it which I’ve decided to make available to the aC community.

This theme is called Access. Using web 2.0 influences, Access is designed with a soft, easy to view interface while still highlighting important events and actions to the user.

A New Community: Brisbane Web Design

Friday, August 24th, 2007

The Brisbane Web Design group formed in November 2006, set up by Ben Maden from Matter Solutions and I’m happy to say I’ve been involved since the first meeting.
