Client: Jim Turnour is the federally endorsed Labor candidate for the Far North Queensland Seat of Leichhardt. Jim has a background in business and agriculture and is involved in a range of community groups, including Landcare and Catchment Management. Jim coordinated the Farm Clear program after Cyclone Larry hit the Innisfail area in 2006, has worked with Labor Senator Jan McLucas and ran for parliament during the 2004 federal elections.

Scope: Jim needed people to know who he was and what he was doing as the time to fight the election drew closer. The web is the perfect tool for this and we provided Jim with a site that gives him all the advantages of a RuttenTech designed product. RuttenTech built a site that was easy to maintain, interactive, extremely accessible and individually tailored to Jim's specific needs.

Service Delivery: 2006 - Present

Jim needed people to know about him and what he's doing as he campaigns for federal parliament. We gave Jim a site that provides just that. Through campaign news, background material diaries, blogs and constant updates people can keep abreast of who Jim is, what he's doing and all the latest news from the trail.

Jim asked for a flexible and affordable system. We gave him one. Jim can update his site himself, saving time and money. As the campaign hots up, Jim can have his support staff update the site.

RuttenTech made updating the site simple for Jim because we used the cutting edge Joomla Content Management System. It's as simple to use as Word, and RuttenTech provided Jim with expert training which enabled him to manage his own website.

What do the public think? Jim can find out because his site features interactive components such as forums, polls and email.

Clear and simple information makes everyone happy. Creating a site that was simple and straightforward was easy because RuttenTech designed the entire site to be easy to navigate through. We also added a specially designed menu system that available for vision-impaired viewers.

Working under a set budget and to a deadline, RuttenTech delivered his site on time and within budget.

As election time nears, staying in the front of the race counts. That's why we built Jim's site with Search Engine Optimisation components. His site will be high on Search Engine lists thanks to RuttenTech's specialised programming.

Streamlining business makes sense, so Jim was happy to know that RuttenTech registers domain names and hosts websites as well.
