If you have been following the trials and tribulations of Hugeobject closely, you might have heard that we launched a brand new product a little while ago.
It’s called Eventarc, and we are pretty pleased with how it turned out.
What is Eventarc?
Eventarc is an online registration and ticketing system. We built it to be the easiest way to accept registrations online for any sized event. It is completely self service, so you can get started right away with a free account.
What can I use it for?
Eventarc really is quite flexible. You can use it for:
and much more!
How much does it cost?
Eventarc is free for free events. That means if you have an event to run and you are not charging for entry, then Eventarc is completely free. Nothing to pay, ever!
For paid events, our pricing model is quite simple. We don’t charge setup, monthly, annual or design fees. Just a small 5% service fee (minimum $1, maximum $8) on all currency transactions, which you can choose to pass onto the ticket buyer.
Where can I sign up?
You can create a free account online right now, and find out for yourself why Eventarc is the best way to process online event registrations!

The charity site Too Young to Work (TYTW) is now live, and it looks fantastic. TYTW is a registered Australian charity that aims to assist in the elimination of child labour in India through the provision of education.
TYTW currently supports three schools in India and is part of a broader network of 14 child labour schools supported by European non-government organisations (NGO) in the same regions. Approximately 2,500 child labourers are in attendance at these 14 schools.
The website was completed by us at no charge, one of a number of sites we have completed for free as a way of giving back to the community.

Indigenous Australians die 17 years earlier than non-Indigenous Australians and Indigenous infant mortality is three times that of non-Indigenous Australians. It is a national disgrace that Indigenous Australians do not have the same access to health services that other Australians enjoy.
ANTaR (Australians for Native Title and Reconciliation) is one of a number of organisations who refuse to accept the status quo. When they decided to take their iconic Sea of Hands online, they partnered with Hugeobject so that together we could create something truly unique.

Together we proudly launched the Online Sea of Hands in Sydney last week, with Cathy Freeman and Ian Thorpe both in attendance to add their hands to what we hope will evolve into one of the largest tools for change in the country.

A healthy range of media turned up for the day, no doubt drawn in part by the recent turmoil in Ian Thorpe’s swimming career. Surprisingly, all questions on the day remained on topic and focused exclusively on the Close the Gap campaign.

Joni and Helena Chan were the Hugeobject design talent behind the online Sea of Hands, shown here in front of one of their banners.

A traditional welcome kicked off the day, before a number of speakers took to the podium and discussed the current state of Indigenous health.

One of the speakers was journalist Jeff McMullen. Without the use of notes, he spoke articulately and with passion about the need to act now.

Cathy Freeman spoke about the impact of the current Indigenous health crisis on her own family, while Ian Thorpe talked about his efforts to assist Indigenous communities.
Thorpe is an extremely polished public speaker, delivering well thought out and confident answers to all media questions. While not quite as polished, Freeman showed why she is one of the most loved athletes in the country with her honest, transparent and heartfelt views.

Cathy Freeman added her hand to the Sea of Hands, and used the tools provided to write out the word “Love”. Nice one.

The launch was held at Telstra Stadium, with the giant screens being put to good use.

A small physical implementation of the Sea of Hands was there on the day.
The target for the online version is 4 million people, or the equivalent of one in five Australians. You can assist by:

In the last few weeks we have launched a couple of new websites for clients. One smaller website for a new legal firm in the city, and one much larger events website.
Construct Law
Demetra at Construct Law can assist you with property, construction, new media, e-commerce and general commercial law matters. We built her website for her and are now embarking on a search engine marketing program as well.
Check out the site at www.constructlaw.com.au.
Mothers Day Classic 2007
This event keeps getting bigger and bigger, and the site is no exception. This year will see up to 7 different people blogging about their training schedules, as a way of creating some “sticky” content for users of the site.
In fact, even I will be blogging regularly as I try desperately to get fit enough to run the 4km required to finish! Check out the site here, or read my ongoing blog here.

The prestigious Howard Florey Institute, one of the leading neuroscience research institutes in the world today, have hired Hugeobject to re-develop their existing website. We are really excited about this one, and look forward to producing an outstanding website for what is a world-class institution.
The project involves a full redesign and an enterprise level content management system, as well as search engine and email marketing advice. The new site is due to launch in November 2006.
The Howard Florey Institute
At the Howard Florey Institute, internationally renowned scientists work together with talented young researchers to make discoveries about the brain and mind.

Their scientists conduct fundamental research that can be developed into drugs to combat brain injury and mind disorders, and into new medical practices. These discoveries will improve the lives of those directly, and indirectly, affected by brain and mind disorders in Australia and around the world.
