Recently I was in IKEA’s huge WA store and was reading an informational brochure about how they price their products – or rather, how they make their products to fit a price. It’s an interesting story, and one that mirrors Itomic’s approach to the provision of website solutions. IKEA’s story goes like this: the smart people…

As temperatures outside are starting to cool down in the approach to the southern hemisphere winter, inside Itomic things are starting to heat up! Why? Because the end of the Australian financial year end (June 30th) is fast approaching! So May and June are typically our busiest months, with highest demand for our services, i.e….

Your website is an asset. For the foreseeable future, all indications are that this asset will become an increasingly important part of your business. It therefore stands to reason that you should be incentivised to protect that asset, and part of protecting that asset is choosing a reputable website hosting company. Firstly, back to basics:…

Loads of free games for kids of all ages. My 7 year old showed me this site the other day. Incredible! Lots and lots (and lots) of free games. How come this wasn’t around when we were kids. Er, perhaps because the Internet wasn’t invented then?! As free games go, the quality seems reasonably high. Some you’ll…

At Itomic we like our clients to stay with us because they want to – not because they have to.

So we like to think…

This afternoon our Itomic HQ got whacked by a large hailstorm that seemed to come out of nowhere. Our semi-basement offices were pounded by golf ball sized hail stones – absolutely amazing that no windows were broken. But we’re not counting our chickens just yet because we’re keeping an eye on the 128km Perth Radar Loop (satellite…

OK, so we didn’t actually get to shake his hand, but at least we were in the same room as him! Yes, today Ross Gerring, MD of Itomic, was in attendance at the “Sir Richard Branson ‘On the Couch’ WA Italian Club Luncheon Event” at the Burswood Convention Centre of Western Australia. Mr Branson was in…

If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it, right? Wrong! Or at least it is in relation to the vast majority of computer software. Wouldn’t it be great if you could just buy software – once – and use it forever without any more costs except for your own time (or that of your employees) as…

The majority of Itomic’s revenue is derived from hourly rate activity. We charge for the time we spend working on a task, and the expertise we bring to that time. But how much to charge, and should we have multiple rates for different staff members and/or different tasks? Firstly, a reminder of Itomic’s Mission (as…
