QTAX - A tax agent based on the Redcliffe Peninsula (Kippa Ring)
Qtax has permanent offices at: Clontarf, Sandgate, Morayfield, Kawana, Maroochydore and Tax season offices in high quality shopping mall locations from Capalaba in the South to Mackay in Tropical North Queensland.
We provide technical support for all software used in the operation as well as ongoing development for their CRM software, which integrates into a popular Tax Calculation engine. All remote offices centralise their billing data and we maintain and support the database functionality to do this.
We are currently redesigning their website and developing additional online services to roll out for their customers.
We were responsible for the initial website development (database integration / ASP coding) for its launch in 2001 and we have continued to support and manage the technical side of this website.
Cariblist serves the real estate markets in Barbados, St. Lucia and Grenada (West Indies). Cariblist continues to be the most popular real estate website in the territories in which it operates. Our robust server platform has stood the test of time.
This business is based in Kingston, Jamaica (West Indies) and was established 40 years ago. Its website was designed by a third party and previously hosted on geocites where their web traffic was metered and the site was totally ineffective.
With a view to ultimately redesigning the site we relocated it to our web hosting service under its own domain name and put in place a third party Blogging engine - this is a work in progress.
