Avant Card - www.avantcard.com.au
Avant Card have had the pleasure of working with Damian & the team at Shine since the beginning of 2005. During this time they have helped us improve & streamline our 'e-marketing' campaigns. Initially we were looking for someone to help us overhaul our website, but Shine offered solutions to some of our existing problems with email marketing. We decided to see what they could do, and haven't looked back since. We now work with them on a regular basis.
Shine is a very personalised website & e-technology provider, & we always feel like they care about the impact of our campaigns. They also provide us with thorough post-campaign analysis.
The fact that Shine are a small company means that we always enjoy excellent personalised service. We will continue to work with them on our upcoming e-marketing campaigns, and look forward to working together on one of our largest projects in 2005, the launch of our new-look website!

Infocus DVD - www.infocusdvd.com.au
As we approach the end of the project for establishing InFocusdvd.com.au, it would be amiss for me not to thank you for all your excellent work in helping us out.
You helped us out right from the beginning, by making immediate contact from a scant e-mail I sent, with prompt assistance and prompt returning of phone calls and providing solutions. The whole process was actually trouble free.
Damian, I would like to personally thank you for your professionalism, although often my demands were great, if not impossible to fulfil. However, you have managed to provide the solutions to my needs.
I will recommend you and your firm to others in the industry who would need your services.
You are all very professional and look forward to dealing with you again.
Yours faithfully,
Jim Pyrgiotis,

Open Channel Solutions - www.ocs.au.com
We approached Shine Media Group to rebuild our website after becoming dissatisfied with the rigid solution and poor customer service provided by a previous firm. We met with the Shine Media team to work out a customised solution that fitted our needs and they delivered a website that has exceeded our expectations.
The new site has been a real success, both with our customers and within our organisation.
Feedback from our customers about the site has also been overwhelmingly positive with comments about how informative they found it. The website has been a very valuable and important marketing tool.
The team was very friendly, and flexible to our needs. Not only are they a pleasure to deal with but they were by far the most cost effective.
We highly recommend the Shine Media Group team to those companies who are seeking to improve or enhance their existing sites or create a website.
PS The only problem I have is that Damian follows the Canterbury Bulldogs. (Better then following the St George Dragons - Damian :)

From the first meeting with Damian from Shine Media I knew we had the right people for the job. For someone else to get excited about our idea as much as we did was very encouraging.
Their professionalism and knowledge was a source of confidence throughout the project. What ever curve ball was thrown at the team at Shine Media was met with clear and logical answers.
I would not hesitate recommending Shine to others looking at developing a web site and would like to extend a big thankyou to Damian, Ranelle, Mark and Jay for making my dream a reality.
Nothing more said the web site www.poolwatertesting.com.au speaks for itself.
Thanks Heaps!

Quest Retail Services - www.questpos.com
Quest Retail Technology would like to take the time to thank the team at Shine Media for their professional attitude and approach to redesigning our website. From the moment that we submitted a design brief to multiple companies, Shine Media shone through as the best available option to us. They responded by both phone and email to our request, and prepared a comprehensive quote, and binding contract in no time. Damian and the team were very flexible with our changing requirements, and ensured that both parties were happy before a contract was signed.
After signing the contract work began immediately on our project. The design team worked tirelessly to create a website that was in line with our corporate colors, and style, again showing their flexibility to ensure that we were more than happy with the overall look and feel of the website.
I was particularly impressed with post website production assistance that we received. Damian and the team made themselves available to assist us with a few minor changes to the site, even after our final invoice had been paid. This commitment to quality and service enables me to unreservedly recommend Shine Media for website solutions.
Thanks again from the guys at Quest,

Resolution Centre - www.resolutioncentre.com.au
To the wonderful people at Shine
Media,
My hectic schedule made the thought of commencing
a new business including corporate logo design
and website development very daunting. It was
with much relief that from the first contact
with your company, you alleviated so much of
the workload.
Damian, not only were you able to listen carefully
to the many ideas that I had created over several
months and determine the ones that would work
for my brand and web design, you also created
a succinct and easy to navigate site which I
believe provides my customers with a unique
experience and my business a competitive advantage.
I was constantly surprised at Shine’s
ability to deliver in accordance to your promised
service and timeframes and the accompanying
‘wow’ factor of the design made
the experience from concept to go-live simple
and efficient.
Thank you again for your assistance in the
development of The Resolution Centre as a business
entity.
I look forward to working with you in the near
future.
Kind Regards,
Katie Graham,
Managing Director

Royal Mothers Day Appeal - mothersday.shinemedia.com.au
It has been my pleasure working with Mark Puse and his team at Shine Media for the third year on the official website Shine has designed for the Royal Hospital for Women's Mother's Day Appeal with Ambassadors, Antonia Kidman and Paula Duncan AM.
Mark was introduced to us through Yahoo! Australia & New Zealand as major sponsors of the Appeal, they highly recommended the team at Shine, to understand our needs and to deliver professional results in a tight timeframe with limited resources.
Shine developed the entire look and feel of the Appeal website to our brief and understood the need to communicate the fundraising nature of the Appeal without compromising on the quality of the site in any way. They developed a sleek and functional site together with a content management system that can be easily maintained.
The site's major purpose is to give information on the Annual Appeal whilst also servicing distributors and sponsors requirements so it has to be professional, attractive, but also easy to navigate.
The team at Shine have worked very hard to maximise the results for us through this medium with limited time and resources at their disposal. We would highly recommend them.
Yours sincerely,
Fiona Parker,
Executive Producer

So Asian DVD - www.soasiandvd.com.au
The first thing I noticed about my initial consultation with Shine is that I was not immediately confronted with a price tag for my solution – unlike the other un-named web designers I visited before them. And I'm sure, if you've dealt with them, or thinking about it, you will appreciate their outright honesty too.
Their first impression was strong, the type that makes you rest easy knowing that they will help you as much as they can. And up till now – 6 months into the project, my image of them has only gotten better and better.
The small team of friends that are workmates creates a casual and friendly environment, but don't let this fool you – they are every inch professionals, right down to the bone. They will meet your deadlines – no, set deadlines for themselves; then tell you a week before its due that they have completed the task needed. Often I found myself giving in work late because of this. No doubt you will too.
Their graphic designers are versatile – think of the Johnny Depp of graphic design. Their programmers are nothing short of talented and committed. I've never seen someone staying up all night programming and attending a meeting early in the morning with such enthusiasm. Damian Bruno (the business development manager) – that is the man who will do everything he can to ensure your project goes smoothly. Even if it's not his business to do so, he will never stop helping – and this is exactly the type of person you want managing your solution. The directors, Mark and Ranelle, aren't just there to make the decisions; they are very hands on themselves with website design and three words that pop up into my head whenever I see their work are: simple, unique and creative.
Believe me when I say there is no other team more qualified to handle whatever project you may throw at them.
Shine Media Group, I hope this is just the beginning of our wonderful business relationship.
Yours sincerely
Daniel Lioner

T & T Cards
& Collectables - www.tandtcollectables.com.au
We decided to create a website
to sell our products, however we didn't know
where to start. We discovered a small website
design company called Shine Media.
The staff who worked there were
very approachable and new exactly what they
were doing, we did not have a lot of money to
spend but we found their prices very affordable.
Not only were they easy to contact but even
came out to our office to help us work out the
designs.
No job was to hard for them and
even though we were constantly bombarding them
with changes and questions everything was done
to our satisfaction. The finished product was
a superb creation and I would not hesitate to
recommend Shine Media to anyone looking to build,
create, or host a website.
Yours sincerely,
Tracy

Teacher Training Australia - www.teachertraining.com.au
Shine Media has just completed the construction of my website and I couldn't be happier. Throughout the process Mark, Ranelle and Peter have been absolutely brilliant. This is the first website of this scale that I have have had built, and I was a bit nervous about the whole procedure.
The guys at Shine just got so into my project. That's what really helped. They made the effort to understand exactly how my business works, how my customers think, and what my vision was. They seemed to be just as excited about my website as I was.
This was demonstrated when it came to delivering on time. It was really important to me that the site be live at the beginning of the school term, and on the final weekend Peter worked like an absolute maniac to make sure that it all went live on time. I couldn't believe it. I would email him a stack of bugs to fix late on Saturday night, and wake on Sunday morning to find that he had been basically working all night to fix them.
This kind of commitment to my project just blew me away. Oh, and the costs were totally reasonable. I would absolutely recommend these guys to anyone who asked. My only hesitation is that I don't want them to be too busy to take on my next project.
