We can provide the full package - domain names, web development, web hosting and SEO. And do not forget complex websites are our speciality. We can do it all such as:
When it comes to web development. We have done it all. Have a good read of our experience below. We are extremely experienced software developers and native Linux desktop and server users. Here are just some web development languages and frameworks we know very well: HTML5, CSS, XML, Javascript, node.js, socket.io, Python, PHP, MySQL, Apache, jQuery, jQuery UI, Bootstrap, Sencha, PhoneGap, Web2py, Magento, WordPress, Drupal, Joomla, Business Catalyst, CakePHP, Flash.
There are 1000's of web developers out there. So why choose us? Well, we are confident that the bulk of the web developers out there, are novice software developers that perhaps rely on WordPress mostly (or one of the other PHP-based full-stack frameworks), have some graphics skills and are 100% Windows users. So their sites look nice, but lack the skills to resolve issues efficiently/correctly, find complex websites hard/impossible and their sites are typically vulnerable to hackers exploits and defacing.
We are also confident that most backend web developers can only write PHP code. While most websites might use PHP code, it is extremely vulnerable to exploits such as cross-site scripting (XSS), SQL injections, buffer overflows, etc. Don't take our word for it, read Why Does PHP Suck?. We highly recommand using Python instead! If you would like a full-stack framework, consider Web2py.
We are true experienced software engineers and modern graphics designers. We have been building websites for various internet and embedded solutions since 2001. We have many skills most web developers don't. Firstly we have been using Linux since the 1990's (most of the worlds web servers run Linux). We can do advanced databases, analytics, statistics, AI, real-time or other complex objectives. We also have been reverse engineering search engines like Google since early 2000's, so we have a very good understanding of all the old and new SEO tricks. We are also skilled bot developers, so that saves you time and money, let alone makes your site autonomous! Oh yeah, and we also know penetration testing, so we can ensure your site is secure against automated and manual hacker attacks!

The STS Irons website was by us to facilitate the sales and marketing of the award winning STS irons we also designed and prototyped.
In terms of frontend code, its HTML5 based and uses the bootstrap framework, allowing the site to be mobile friendly out of the box. It is one of the most modern aesthetically pleasing websites we have done, as it utilizes our graphics experts, that came on board in 2014. As you can see there is also some cool eye catching effects.
In terms of backend code, it is one of the most simplest sites we have done. It only has one form at this stage. However was setup to allow a shopping cart, when the client is ready.

The iCEPIKK website was created to facilitate the sales and marketing of the iCEPIKK mobile app we also designed, prototyped and released.
In terms of frontend code, its HTML5 based, but not mobile friendly. It is a simple landing page website to show case the promo video and interface you to the native mobile apps. As you can see, the landing page is rather aesthetically pleasing.
The mobile apps, used Sencha and PhoneGap frameworks. This allowed us to efficiently compile and release a Android-based PlayStore app and iPhone-based AppStore app, within minutes.

Tipeezy was very popular in its day. It allowed people to make footy comps, for footy tipping between mates, family and colleagues. It was 100% free, and was a world first footy tipping system. At its peak had over 17,000 users and over 4,500 footy comps. And scraped footy fixtures data in real-time and handled all the analytics to calculate users scores and comp winners in real-time.
The webapp and mobile apps, used Sencha and PhoneGap frameworks. This allowed us to efficiently compile and release a Android-based PlayStore app, iPhone-based AppStore app and PC-based web app, within minutes.

Revbook was very popular in its day. It allowed users to buy and sell cars, bikes, boats, caravans and trucks. It also had a real-time chat window to talk direct with users and dealers. And a forum for car enthusiasts. It was 100% free, and a world first all-in-one car enthusiast system. At its peak had over 20,000 listings. Listings where scraped from many dealers in real-time.
It used jQuery and jQuery UI features, however overall it was a 100% custom frontend and backend website. The graphics was impressive for its era. And the backend code was advanced to allow real-time updates, and advanced search features that carsales.com.au couldn't compete with. The SEO was done by us also, and its performance was outstanding.

This website was a sports odds analyzer that helps predict match outcomes based on betting patterns. It parsed XML feeds which consisted of 1000's of bookmakers, and 100,000's of various sports games odds. It would then crunch the numbers in real-time to provide optimal bets. It also provided a history of odds for future predictions and to flag possible false positives. It was rather fancy, and made alot of users rich. Unfortunately the odds feed provider produced increasingly incorrect data over time, which caused too many false positives and late data. We considered creating our own parsing systems for each bookmaker, but that involves some significant on-going overheads which was not financially feasible.

Penboy is a gallery of pen drawings. It is a simple site, that allowed our client to add new drawings efficiently before the days of WordPress, etc. It is well overdue for an update.

This was us back in the day! The site offered development services (like we do now), but also provided a partial autonomous shopping system to allow resale of various electronics. It had shopping cart features. Lots of backend tools for current/past orders. Many admin backend tools for statistics. The website scraped various wholesales in real-time, had currency conversion (via xe.com) and PayPal credit card payments. It also had some advanced analytics to define popular and featured products. For early 2000, it was a popular shopping based website.

We developed this website for ourselves as a spin off from our shopping based services back in 2001-2006. It was a world first shopping comparison website. Also allowed anybody to add products they wanted to sell. All 100% free. We called it the "Purchase Engine" (to compete with the "Search Engine").
I consulted COLETEK for some work, commencing in 2014, and haven’t looked back. The project was very important to me, and COLETEK not only saw that but exuded sincere enthusiasm about the project; they are attentive, and thorough in their research and development service. They are a wealth of information and advice, for many aspects of the entire engineering and commercialization space, and this has been invaluable to me. I look forward to continuing work with them long into the future!
COLETEK have provided one to one communication throughout the development process and gone above and beyond in bringing our ideas closer to becoming a reality! Luke's expertise and knowledge with computer software and electronics is Jedi like, but what I liked most about working with him was his willingness and ability to think outside of the box.
In the development of our new product Smart Syphon we had a tight deadline to launch the commercial version of our product and experienced some issues with our drawings. Luke and his team dealt with the issues, worked through the week-end and delivered a quality outcome on time.
We had an idea that needed very complex design and prototype requirements. After much frustration dealing with other prototyping companies both in Australia and overseas we came across Coletek and have not looked back. Luke has been extremely helpful to date and we are now on the road to developing the product we had envisioned. Luke has been more than capable of taking multiple and constantly changing design facets in his stride and has ultimately given us a clear path to a successful product.
We worked with Luke from COLETEK to develop a prototype for a new venture. Luke was able to give us practical advice on how to execute the project inline with our budget that was super useful. What has been endearing, is that even after the build was complete, Luke continues to touch base with us offering help to keep the momentum of the project going forward.
I have outsourced many projects through COLETEK over the years for a variety of applications. Applications such as a online based software platform that pulls live data feeds and updates in real-time to the user. A custom built website for adding users and products that achieved over 20,000 listings. Mobile applications. Data recovery and hardware repair. Custom SEO services and secure hosting services. I choose COLETEK because I know that a job will get done as requested and within a reasonable time frame. Also I'm a stickler for security and they're the best.
Salita engaged Luke Cole to troubleshoot issues we were having with a drive motor system with a dynamic variance of torque and speed. After approaching no less than a dozen Australian supplier and engineering firms to provide a solution, and after 12 months of product design and testing, they could not verify why their recommended motors where failing and reversing suddenly. Luke undertook testing and analysis and quickly supplied information on the failures. Not only did Luke uncover a rare, uncommon failure but also provided a solution. The COLETEK team are our go to for the correct solution the first time, for all our electronic needs.
Great delivery, and great relationship orientated services.
Intuitive, innovative & efficient are three words that would appropriately describe the COLETEK service. Luke and the team at COLETEK have taken our concepts to the next level.
I have had the pleasure of working with Luke, our exceptional robotic product developer, over the past few years. Luke's expertise and professionalism have been pivotal in advancing our projects. Their innovative approach, attention to detail, and commitment to excellence have consistently exceeded our expectations. The quality of work and dedication Luke brings to each level of our project has significantly contributed to our success. I highly recommend COLETEK for their outstanding skills and unwavering professionalism.
I engaged COLETEK several years ago to produce designs and working prototypes of 2 products I am currently developing as I was having difficulty obtaining what I required from overseas design companies. I have always found Luke easy to work with and having face to face meetings made explaining my concepts so much easier than endless emails. Design changes and modifications are always produced in a timely fashion and available for pickup locally.
We met with Luke Cole from COLETEK and very quickly realised that he was very knowledgeable in robotics and prototyping. What separates his company from the rest, is that he had a unique value proposition - COLETEK offers a tele-operated / robotic unit for rent and with the flexibility to be modified to build proof-of-concepts. That unit lowered both the cost and time for us to produce a video showing a very challenging concept. In general COLETEK's service was great value. We would recommend them - they will get it done.
We used COLETEK on a small project involving mechanical and electronic design aspects as well as software development. COLETEK understood our requirements at the outset and worked to accommodate our needs. The whole process was professionally conducted and we highly recommend COLETEK
Delivered excellence on time, great work and great team, thanks!
