Happy launch day, Talking Sales!

Wednesday, September 10th, 2008

Over the past couple of months, Bergan Blue has been working closely with a unique promotional agency called Talking Sales. Whilst the business had been around for a while, Talking Sales had no solid branding in place. We worked closely with owner Kimberley to create a logo, business cards, with compliments slips and a website.

We’re happy to announce that the Talking Sales website was launched today! Please click on the image below to view the website, or go to talkingsales.com.au.

Featured on Stunning CSS!

You may or may not already know that the Bergan Blue website is completely W3C Standards Compliant. This means a lot from a designer or developer’s point of view. But to most, it simply means that our site looks fantastic!

There are several CSS galleries on the web showcasing websites that have been properly developed using CSS and XHTML - and of course, sites that look and function exceptionally well.

I’m proud to announce that Bergan Blue’s website has been featured on several of these sites! Please see the links below to check out the Bergan Blue site in these galleries!

Website / Server Down

Thursday, July 3rd, 2008

Hi everyone,

You may have noticed that we’ve had a few problems with our website - you might’ve seen images in odd places or not been able to get to the website at all. This was simply to do with a hardware problem with the server our website is currently hosted on.

But, good news - we’re back up and running now! Everything seems to be working fine after the hardware upgrade, so fingers crossed it stays this way.

On a separate note - don’t forget about our Free Business Card, Letterhead or With Compliments Slip Design offer! See the blog post for details.
