At Launch Interactive we build Websites and Mobile Apps. We are based in Ballarat, Australia.
Our focus is Quality, Consistency and Simplicity.
Some of our services include:
https://AutoAction.com.au is a site we built a while ago. It features a custom responsive Wordpress theme that was built to handle lots of traffic. The site gets loads of hits, especially when a big news story breaks. We recently switched the web server from Apache to Nginx and have seen an improvement in performance and uptime.
They AutoAction guys are great to deal with and we hope to continue working with them as the site grows.
“ A new version of MMR has been uploaded. It includes a few small fixes. ”
The St Patrick's College Ballarat Business Directory is now live. This project required a Website where Alumni can register and create/pay for their own listings. The listing is then available on the website and in Android and iOS Apps. We used Stripe for the payment gateway and found its integration much smoother than PayPal.
It has been great to work with Nashish Marketing and Design and St Patrick's College, Ballarat and hope that the directory becomes a great resource to the community.

“ What a great review of our WordPress Plugin “Merge Minfy & Refresh”: wordpress.org/support/topic/… ”
Just for fun we did the Google Mobile Sites exam without any study. Apart from the odd question I think we did ok.
We have just released a brand new website for Urban Horticultural Solutions (UHS). UHS are multi-award winning landscapers and their new website is set to showcase this. Scroll through the galleries and get some inspiration!
The website has a custom WordPress theme designed by Adam from Royale Blue and built by Launch. We built a custom WordPress gallery plugin to make creating and editing galleries a breeze.

Launch Interactive built a brand new website for Enjoy Church. This WordPress website includes custom integrations with an internal database, Elvanto, Twitter and Instagram. The site is optimised for mobile as well as desktop. It is designed to load super fast. Even though the menu is very simple the way it works on mobile is quite an achievement. We are also proud of the custom select box styles.
It was great to work with the team at Enjoy and we look forward to more projects in the future.

Ballarat Property Group were in need of a new website to replace their dated desktop and mobile sites. The two sites added extra maintenance and required lots of manual work to keep up to date. We have built a brand new site in WordPress which puts the properties front and centre and allows BPG to manage the entire site. Sale & Rental properties are fetched from external sources and cached on the site for speed.
The design was by Digital Outlaw and built by Launch.

The brand new website for Mitchell Harris Wines has been released. We are really pleased to see this site live and are very proud of how it looks. It was designed by Jamie from Digital Outlaw and built by Launch.
The site is fully responsive with a custom WordPress theme. The homepage has had quite a lot of attention with the grid panel being the most challenging.
The whole site was built for speed. Images are sized appropriately and our Merge, Minify + Refresh WordPress plugin is doing a great job combining and minifying all of the Javascript and CSS.
“ Awesome feedback about our Merge + Minify + Refresh WordPress plugin: "I've tried a bunch of minification plugins. This one's the best!" ”
I've finally got around to ordering a 2016 Calendar from Custom Printz It arrived today and looks great!
Great News! We have released a new App on the iOS App Store.
Air Camera is the best way to stream your camera to an airplay receiver. eg. Apple TV, AirParrot or AirServer. Perfect for live events when you need a simple video feed to an external display. The external display only shows the video so elements like notifications, battery status and time don't distract your audience. Plus, you can swap between cameras and take a full resolution photo. When you take a photo a 3 second preview shows up on the receiver.
We wrote Air Camera to fill a specific need but soon realised others would benefit from it. We were running the media for a sports person awards night in February and needed a roaming camera for interviews around the room. We tried a few apps on the App Store and while they worked, we thought we could do better. Our app doesn't mirror the screen but instead creates a seperate screen of video only. As a bonus, we threw in the ability to take photos and show a preview on the external output.
Grab Air Camera today to see how it can enhance your next event.
