This guide maintains the consistency of your brand across all media. For multi-national customers, we also offer brand internationalisation (see, “Web Localisation” below).

The advantage of selecting Life9 to provide all of your branding needs is our ability to create a full, coherent, and consistent image.

CMS products are indispensable in maintaining internet or intranet site content.

Life9 prides itself on its unique localisation service. That is, your websites content, interface, and images are tailored to local audiences based on culture and tastes. For example, most Australians would not realise that UK users ‘think’ and ‘interpret’ ideas and images differently to us. Localisation ensures your marketing message is delivered consistently to all target audiences, regardless of their location.

Life9 has formed relationships with various hosting companies to give you access to Australia’s leading data centres. Life9 manages all the hosting and email needs of our clients. In conjunction with our hosting partners, we also advise clients and arrange complex hosting solutions such as multimedia streaming, load-balanced and clustered servers, and international mirrors, for security and speed.

Life9 have the power and knowledge to increase traffic flow to your website. By cleverly analysing and selecting relevant and well-targeted keyphrases with the users of the leading search engines such as google, yahoo and msn search in mind, we aim to bring your site to the top of the rankings.

Our search engine strategy is considered throughout the entire design process and construction of your site. This ensures maximum capacity of traffic is achieved at launch. We register your site with global registries and engines, as well as local hubs.

Life9 publishes all new websites to validate as XHTML and CSS complient. This is the international standard that optimises webpages across browsers and platforms. In many cases, it also allows us to re-deploy your website to other devices such as PDA’s and mobile phones.

Standard compliance also “future proofs” your website, optimises your site for search engine indexing, and greatly improves accessibilty for users with disabilities such as sight or motor skill impairment. This is an immensely important consideration in light of a recent descrimination lawsuit launched against the Sydney Olympic Games website for its lack of support for users with disabilities.
