As the year draws rapidly to a close, and the Christmas decorations adorn the streets of Perth, we can look back at the year that was... And what a year it was for us - OMG!

We've taken on staff - not 1, not 2, but 3 people have joined our team. We've changed our name. And we've seriously cranked up the web design and web services side of the business.

Along with our new name and new team members, we also launched a few new products: Just Office Templates and PhotoOp.

Just Office Templates is a simple and quick way of creating the basic Word templates for your business, and stops your documents being reformatted when you send them to clients and colleagues who have customized their version of Word.

Try it for less than $20 - www.justofficetemplates.com

Need a simple but effective way of managing your corporate function this Christmas? Give PhotoOp a try. Our budget RSVP management tool allows you to create your event and invitation, upload your contact list, and then invite away.

Our prices start at 50 cents an invite and drop (yes! drop!) as you invite more guests! Much cheaper than posting invitations!

Visit www.PhotoOp.com.au and try it for yourself.

To keep up with the pace of growth we have also introduced service agreements for both our development clients and our web design clients.

Our development clients can ensure that they get priority service by subscribing to our standard service agreement which ensures that a team member returns their phone call or email within one business day.

Our web design clients might find themselves too busy to maintain their own content so we're here to help. And for clients who use their web site to generate business, we can also tweak their position in the search engines as part of the service.

As the year draws to a close, we wish you and your family the very best for the festive season, and we look forward to catching up with you next year.

Please note that our office will be closed from Friday 21 December and will reopen on Wednesday 2 January. Our office phone will be checked once a day on business days during that period.

Until then I'll leave you with these thoughts:

Attitude of Gratitude (Author Unknown)

  If you have food in the refrigerator, clothes on your back, a roof overhead and a place to sleep... you are richer than 75% of this world.
  If you have money in the bank, in your wallet, and spare change in a dish someplace... you are among the top 8% of the worlds wealthy.
  If you woke up this morning with good health you are more fortunate than the million who will not survive this week.
  If you have never experienced the danger of battle unfolding all around you, the loneliness of imprisonment, the agony of torture, or the pangs of starvation... you are ahead of 500 million people in the world.
  If you can attend a church meeting without fear of persecution, harassment, arrest, torture, or death... you are more blessed than three billion people in the world.
  If you can read this message, you are more blessed than over two billion people in the world that cannot read at all.
