In the true "Pay It Forward" tradition we would love to celebrate our success by supporting those who are doing such good work in our community. If you know of any worthy charity who needs to update their presence online, or start one - let us know below, so we can include them for consideration.

Client Spotlight - MDH Beef

Running around 175,000 head of cattle on an area close to 3.4 million hectares takes a lot of work - and it’s work that’s foremost in the mind of MDH Beef owner/operators the McDonald family of remote Brightlands and Devoncourt Cattle Stations, near Cloncurry, about 160km south-east of Mt Isa in Queensland’s north. Genevieve McDonald, who lives at Brightlands Station, says that the new website is predominantly used for the recruitment of staff but it is also aimed at promoting the McDonald’s beef brands and cattle operations to national and international meat buyers.Genevieve says, “MDH had an old and tired website so while we were looking for a more professional-looking and striking website, we also needed one that was easy to update and had a bit more function to it. “With the new Bloomtools website, I can make changes when I need them, which is great for our business,” she says. “The family all love the new web pages and are so pleased with how it has turned out. It has made a big difference being able to edit the pages myself when I need to and the graphics are fantastic!”
