Database driven site
The pic-toc website is highly content driven, to enable this to be affectively managed it is completely database driven.
This enables changes to be easily made and instantly accessible to their customers. pic-toc is heavily design driven and
had their own design concepts for the site created by http://www.fit-pixels.com/.
We worked from these conceptual designs to create the fully function site.

Flash programming
We also offer our services at creating flash clips and applications. pic-toc required a way to allow their customers to create
their own unique pic-tocs as such the TimeFactoryTM was born. This is a graphically intensive
flash application which links into server side applications and purchasing systems.

Mobile internet store
To enable users to access new pic-tocs at any time, a pic-toc mobile shop was created. This contains the same content as the
main site, but with a new mobile specific interface. The shop allows customers to browse / search through the available pic-tocs
and purchase them directly from their mobile phone.
Online Office
To enable the distributed company to functional effectively an online office environment was created. This allows all
employees to access their email/calendar/address book where ever they are in the world. It is also central to the
running of the company as it enables the sales staff to real time sales figures and graphs.
