Wayville Basketball Knockout Winners 2010-2011
Aside from producing spectacular results on a daily basis at Alltraders, staff members Cohen Gum, Michael Garratt & Ben Zhang also managed to take home gold in the Wayville basketball finals Tuesday night. We can ignore the fact that it was E grade basketball with only the bottom 3 teams playing off for free pizza and an amazing glass cup. This is in no way a good representation of the first class skills that were put on display. After a shabby season, once again The Sinking Drinkers became pressure conquering, cold stone killers during finals. Demoralising their competition at both ends of the court, tripling their score and remaining completely professional as their opponents spiralled into dissent. The team managed to secure their second shiny cup in 2 successive seasons. Nice work guys.

2011 Tour Down Under Adelaide
The Tour Down Under has been run and won, and Alltraders' Sponsored rider Jeremy Rees tells us about his ride.
The tour went pretty smoothly, and there were no problems with my bicycle. The start was really slow. When it was time for riders to start riding (at the end of the countdown), I had to wait about 20 minutes before I could start pedalling normally as there were lots (maybe thousands) of cyclists in front of me. I noticed some traffic that had to wait a while (perhaps a long while) to let the cyclists pass.
I felt a bit lonely the entire time as I rode by myself. I could have rode with some people that I knew, but regretfully, it did not happen. It was very windy, which made the ride a bit harder. I enjoyed the climbs; none of them were very difficult. I think my top speed was 59km/h on the final descent to Strathalbyn.

The Design Process – How we design – Make your business shine
The Design Process Across All Areas
- Q&A - A Fact Finding mission to make sure we see your business the same way as you do and to make sure that the work we create represents your business well.
- Design Brief - Probably one of the most important parts of design. If there's no brief we would have no direction.
- Initial sketches & ideas - Once we have a design brief we can move onto researching, brainstorming & sketching initial ideas. We look at client competition, market trends and other influences that will form the end result.
- Working up a chosen route - After an initial sketched idea has been singled out, we then proceed to the computer and start designing and art working your logo using industry standard software. The logo will then be presented.
- Presentation & Feedback - At this stage we would ask for you – the client – to consider the presentation and give us feedback taking into consideration the design brief and the initial Q&A.
- Amends/Revisions - Any revisions will be carried out following feedback and the identity artwork will be finalised and supplied in various formats.
- Final Artwork is supplied.

There's nothing quite like a good breakfast
Last week twelve men aged from 24 to 50, gathered for breakfast at a quiet restaurant in Glenelg (a lovely beachside suburb of Adelaide). From the outside it wouldn't have been clear why we were there and if you saw some of our backgrounds it may have confused you more. There was a retailer, an educator, a council worker and ex-civil engineer, an entrepreneur, a couple of graphic artists, some software engineers, a project manager and a keen interstate social networker. Aside from sharing breakfast there was a lot in common.
Alltraders invited this disparate group of people together for several reasons. Firstly it was to spend some more time with a visiting international speaker and Joomla! enthusiast, Andrew Eddie. Secondly, it was to eat a nice brekky. Thirdly it was to promote the best website content management system in the world and lastly, it was to get to know others who know what Joomla! is and what it can do. Suffice it to say, the food was good, the company was better and it was a really good time to get to know others who use Joomla!

"Looking for someone to build a quality website is not an easy task, especially when your own knowledge of programming, designing and coding are almost nil. The website I wanted built was going to be extremely complex as it required customers to fully design and purchase everything online themselves...not a simple task when it's a totally unique product concept so everything is original and started from scratch! The team at Alltraders are undoubtedly qualified to design and build top quality websites. They consider all aspects... visual appeal, functionality and 'back-of-house' usability. I encourage you to take a look at www.fotoball.com.au and see for yourself. The site required an enormous amount of specialist work that no other website building company I talked to would even know where to start. Since the site went live in September 2009 I have had many comments about the site from local and international viewers. I'd be happy to recommend Alltraders if you are looking for a competitive edge online."
