Dear Steve,
 
A quick piece of feedback for you. I have been very impressed in our recent dealings concering the creation of my website and our larger business project. I expected excellent design skills in the layout but was pleasantly surprised at the level of efficiency, professional management of the process and the number proactive suggestions on how I might improve what I started with. Your work is thorough, you are fastidious in your application and most importantly, reliable. Value adding as you do is rare in many industries, mine especially. You and those future clients you will engage with should know this.

WA Mining Company

Mining company testimony

 

 

I had three days in Perth at a mining company with their Safety Team, teaching them Business Analysis and Process Improvement skills, and then mentoring them as a team.

We worked through team mission, engagement model, operational/incident and safety improvement processes and project management.

It was a pleasure working with these motivated and intelligent individuals, and they seem to have enjoyed it too!

Ken Swan: "RoomSpare"

Steve Barnes assisted Ken Swan to get up and going with RoomSpare

Six months ago I had a great idea for an e-commerce web site that would hopefully make me a few bucks. I asked around for who in Brisbane could do a good, reliable job, keeping things economical. (I am not a big risk taker and do not have a deep bank account!!)

I went to one of the leading e-commerce web developers and had a good chat talking bout my concept. His quote of approximately $100,000 floored me.

After spending two months thinking I was out of my depth, a friend mentioned a company Barnes-Open who were doing a lot of work with a CMS called Joomla.

Two months later I have a working web site roomspare4sportfans.com with others on the way, all for under $10,000.

Now that is great value for money. Not only did Barnes-Open develop the site so professionally, but they showed significant patience and support as they coached me through this development journey.

 

As a teacher by profession, I have really enjoyed the learning that I have undertaken as I have explored joomla.org and the growing information that revolves around it.

  I don’t know yet if my concept is going to make me rich, but I have to thank all those people out there who have given of their time to develop Joomla and of course Barnes-Open for helping to make it happen. If you guys at Joomla have any time spare, have a look at my site and let me know what you think.

Cheers
Ken
