Pressure Dynamics is the leading designer and manufacturer of hydraulic machines and systems in Australia, and thanks to the Kilbot Factory they have a great new website to show off their work.
Australia has an internet penetration of 70.7% (14,663,622 users) according to Nielsen (via internetworldstats.com). This is slightly higher than North America (68.1%) but below Malta (78.1%). This is a measure of people who have access to the web… and probably not a true indication of how many people actually use the internet regularly. Given that the number of broadband users is 1,300,359 there are still a lot of people who have dial-up to check their email once a month.
On a semi-related note, Whirlpool.net.au is having their annual Australian Broadband Survey, you can give your view on the state of broadband in Australia by going to http://whirlpool.net.au/survey/. The survey will take around 10 minutes to complete.
The Kilbot Factory has released a brand new site for Brooks Hire Service. The site uses a Content Management System for easy site updates and expansion, standards compliant XHTML and CSS, and quite a few keyword tweaks to get the best search ranking possible.
Top 500 sites in Australia as reported by Alexa, take it with a grain of salt but it is handy for SEO to get an indication of which search engines Australians are using.
Google fills first and second places, which fits with data collected on my sites. Yahoo are next and then MSN.
Interesting to note Yahoo tops the rankings in the United States. I would suspect the figures are a little skewed to the type of web user would would install the Alexa tool bar.
The Kilbot Factory was contracted by Mintox Design to create a Content Management System for Melbourne artist Brett Coelho. The CMS allows Brett to add, edt and delete the content and also add new galleries so that the site can expand in future years.
