Red Strategic Communications is a site that was designed by the Design Bakery and built by Launch.

Its a few years old now but still looks fantastic and is very effective. Something that was added during the development was the sticky side menu and a nice animation next to the selected menu item. This works really well to highlight the section.

The Ballarat Property Group website was one of the first major jobs for Launch way back in 2010. This site has had a few updates along the way and is still going strong.

The property listings come from the real estate view system so hooking up with their API was essential to get it all working. The site also includes a mobile version using jQuery Mobile. The design was by The Design Bakery and the build was by Launch.

Tim from Made Visual approached Launch last year to put together a website for Regional Retaining Walls & Landscaping. Tim's attention to detail and creativity made this job one of my favorites to date.

It was built in metaCMS so that RRWL can easily update content. A couple of nice features included was:

* canvas video slider with a wipe effect

* automatically generated blend mode in the galley section (designed to emulate photoshops colour blend mode)

* location lookup for the contact form

A new website for Paul Tabbitt Hair was released late last year. The design was fairly simple but proved to be a little challenging to get right. The tricky part was getting the selected menu item to stretch down behind the content.

The layout is responsive and includes a few animations to enhance the experience. It was designed by Cressaid Logic and built by Launch.

April 2013 saw the release of a website that took 8 months to create. The guys at Xtreme Connect wanted to connect the extreme sports world via an interactive website and have fun while doing it.

The awesome design was done by tba:media (www.tbamedia.com.au) and all the programming by Launch. The layout is responsive and uses MongoDB as the database. It supports logging in with Google, Yahoo, Twitter, Facebook or email/password which was no small feat!

As always its a work in progress but it was great to see it go live.

Its been a long, long time coming but its finally here. Launch Interactive now has a full website and not just a silly splash page!

Building my own site has been one of the hardest jobs I've done. Firstly, because I designed it and secondly, because I want it to be just right.

The site adjusts nicely for different screens and devices. Its fast and clean and is super easy to update. I've also got a decent list of things to add but if you have any suggestions let me know!

Thanks to all the great clients who have gone out of their way to write testimonials!

So, with all that said... why not have a look?
