Website portfolio
Here are some of the websites built by Bold Type recently.
Ski The World is an information website for the skiing and snowboarding fraternity. The aim is to eventually be the authoritative voice on ski resorts around the world with every ski resort listed on the website.
This website is in constant development as new ski resorts and news relevant to snow sports is added. It was built by Bold Type using WordPress web software so that new information can be uploaded easily.
The aim of the website is to inform and also to generate income from companies advertising on the site.
Balmain Website Designs, Bold Type's dedicated web development website
http://www.balmainwebsitedesigns.com.au
Because Bold Type is a publishing business with related but different services – print publishing and website development – we decided to build a dedicated website for the web design and development side of our business.
That’s how Balmain Website Designs was created. We registered the domain name, designed the website based on the latest in business website templates and built the website using WordPress, an open source web software with an easy-to-use content management system. We use WordPress for all our client websites because it’s so good and so easy for our clients to upload new content whenever they want.

The new owner of Do Duck Inn in Adelaide knew he needed a new website when he bought the business but he was still knocked out when he saw our first prototype website for his cafe and catering business in the Adelaide CBD.
We can’t actually print what he said … but they were words to the effect, ‘I absolutely love it’.
Because we based this website on a purchased Wordpress template, we kept the costs for web design to zero. Websites can still be beautiful, function beautifully and have excellent search engine optimisation without costing the earth.
Do Duck Inn, like all Bold Type websites, has Google Analytics to see what traffic the website is getting and what pages are the most popular and more.
Bold Type managed a complete re-development for Liza McKilliam’s real estate website. This included a complete overview of the content and its presentation, a new website design, a change of web hosting company that will save on host facilities that the website does not use or need, improved search engine optimisation and an analytics program to assess visitor traffic.
I love that the new website is so easy to add content to the site. This will help my support team enormously and save so much time and money. Liza McKilliam
The Living Silk website development was a revamp of an existing static website to a dynamic system that the client can manage themselves. The website is run using Wordpress, open source CMS which was voted the number one system for dynamic websites in 2009. Every page is editable, for example, images of new outfits can be easily added with the click or two on the keyboard. The news pages allow Living Silk to keep their web visitors up to date with fashion news and the ‘email friends’ function allows visitors to send an image of any outfit to friends and families. This is particularly relevant when brides want their bridesmaids to see a particular gown.
The Glitterbox website is up and running. It’s been an interesting build because we wanted it have a very particular look and feel that captures the essence of a hairdressing business in Newtown and also captures the essence of the salon itself. The best part about creating a unique website such as this one for Glitterbox is that the combined talents of a great design, content and development team (three exceptionally talented people in their own fields) can make a website that noone else in the world will have. Because Bold Type also put together a comprehensive web presence for Glitterbox, the business doubled within weeks of the development process starting. Now, with their own self-managable website, not even the roof will limit business growth.
Website for printing company
We started getting more requests for quotes from web visitors from the time the website went live. The number of visitors increased amazingly in the first month. And I can modify the website to improve results as I go. Wayne Rosenberg, Sales and Marketing Director, Vertifix Printing, Ultimo, Sydney
Placeholder homepage for hair salon
The brief for this website was to capture the Glitterbox, Newtown experience and to create something out of the ordinary. This placeholder homepage was designed to replace the normal boring ‘This website is under construction’.
It’s very exciting getting a website and I love working with Sue to get the right look and feel for our salon. Sue has just posted an incredible video of our salon on YouTube. Just search Glitterbox469King to check it out. Sharon, Proprietor, Glitterbox Hair Salon, NewtownThe new Glitterbox website has now replaced this placeholder page.
