We have completed the CAHR project with our clients saying, "Thank you, thank you, thank you". It is our pride to make our clients happier than they earlier thought they will be. This "under-promise, over-deliver" axiom is what I learn from BNI (see http://www.businessnetworkingthailand.com). Anyway, the website for CAHR is at http://www.architecture-humanrights.org . The interesting point about the site is that it has a Paypal donate function - ah, so what so great about the Paypal function, you may ask? Well, the client wants have a Paypal account based in Canada as Thailand is infamously known for frauds with Paypal and often freeze funds temporary to check for frauds. So we went ahead with starting a Paypal with a Canadian address. The Business Paypal we started has to register a credit card for it to start accepting cash payments from the website directly; the rule also requires our client to charge a $1 amount through the system for the account to kick-start. So here is the funny part. It requires a CODE from the credit card statement accompanying the $1 charge to be fed back into the Paypal account, so my client has to call his mum in Canada in the middle of the night to have her open his credit card statement to read off the code to him. naturally, she struggled as the code characters are tiny-winy small. After we got the code, we fed it into the system to activate it. So much for globalization.

Check out a beautiful website at http://www.esensw.com. This website is done for a client based in Vietnam for the Indochina market and is based on Flash with Actionscript and php/ MySQL. It is a hospitality industry website with elegance and simplicity as the basis of its style. The "me" element is strong and the design structure was suggested by the client who are from South Africa.

Genius has just been awarded a project to build 3 websites on health. Health is the final frontier of life, and inspite of a recession looming ahead, the health sector is till very healthy. One of the websites is to build a SEARCH database for Bangkok expatriates with several interesting filters for various aspects of health. It will be fun. We look forward to it.

We have come up with a new product called "Video e-newsletter". As the name suggests, this is a e-newsletter that contains a video clip (about 15 seconds). In fact, it is a mini-TV commercial that sells your unique selling proposition. To experience it click to see e-newsletter: http://www.geniusgraphic.com/e-news4/index.html

We are actively working with a MLM organization to build a website that works like "Facebook". Each member in the organization will have their own homepage, own products, own photo gallery to market their business proposition. Another organization is a Chinese clan association who want to promote networking amongst Thai Chinese who have the same surname. Each member will also have their own homepage, own products and contact details. The programming has some similarity but the application in the market is very different.

We are moving into Malaysia with some indication of interest for our Video e-newsletter and CMS system. Kuala Lumpur is a market of nostalgia for me as I have worked there many years ago. Coming back to the city reminds me of those days. KL is full of vibrance and energy. It seems like this is the decade of Asia truly!

We are creating our own portal. Hi5Golf.com is not just a website, it is a system of traffic capturing. The idea is to create thousands of small websites (each for one local provincial golf club) so that the aggregate of all the websites can form a major traffic source on which advertisers can tap on. Since it is golf, the interest is particularly high.

Oriental Eyes is a movie producer in Bangkok, Thailand, that is going places. We have been comissioned to create a portal to launch their new movie "9WAT" (which means 9 Temples). This ghost movie is both scary and modern contemporary. Refreshing for those who thought scary ghost stories has to be dark and damp. We are to build a mechanism for the "Write a Ghost Story" contest. The submission has to be online with a approval mechanism for admin and a voting device for viewers. The vote count needs to reach 99 before the story graduate into the next round of contest.

Hi5Golf.com reaches the 13 golf club websites mark. It is still a long way to go before we reach the first milestone of 100 websites by year end, but it is a good achievement gicing that it is only 6 months that we are in operations. The traffic has been very encouraging and many golf clubs have shown interest and enthusiasm in our work.

We have launched our own template website for the jewelry industry at www.108gem.com. The impetus for the website is an observation that many jewelry shops do not have the expertise nor the knowledge to create a good-looking and great functioning website. The functions of a 108gem template site contains search device directly relating to diamond and gem categorization. This allows a more precise search for customers.
