IdeBaik celebrates its First Anniversary

Friday, November 12th, 2010

People say that the first year is always the hardest for startups, regardless what business they are in.

Well, we just passed the first cap – our first anniversary. We had so many deadlines we didn’t get to celebrate, but what means most for us is the fact that we have passed the first test.

We hope to get more interesting projects, grow and expand as our clients become bigger!

New projects are online!

Friday, November 12th, 2010

Just to announce the newest additions to our portfolio:

MOIE

(temporarily on new.moie.com, later will be moved to www.moie.com)

MOIE is one of the most recognized retailers of exceptional residential furnishings, lighting and accessories, with showrooms in Jakarta and Singapore. Clean website look with advanced HTML Animation through JQuery plays.

CHEESE CAKE FACTORY

Cheese Cake Factory is Jakarta’s premier cake shop that is more than just a cake shop. Providing a cozy lounge and delicious dine-in menu, CCF Online allows people to order and have those delicious things delivered to their door.

We are happy to announce the launching of these two websites.

Bigger projects for bigger corporate and FMCG clients to be announced soon!

indonesiaclubbing.com in the SparxUp Awards 2010

Sunday, October 24th, 2010

We proudly announce that indonesiaclubbing is participating in the Indonesia SparxUp Awards 2010.

Having recently joined the Indonesia STARTUPLOKAL circle, we got to know and had a really nice chit chat over lunch with Ronald Ishak, owner of several big fish startups (Domikado, NSIAPay and more) and even though at first we wanted to have VV.VG go into the competition, finally we realized that indonesiaclubbing is a better example of a startup – we built it by the end of 2006 with love and passion, and what was the cocoon of ideas of a portal web for nightlife and clubbing scene in Indonesia is now officially the biggest site within its niche market.

And this time, just for you readers (they’re not that many but a lot of them return regularly – thank you for caring and reading!), I will share some little insight into indonesiaclubbing‘s world:

indonesiaclubbing has:

- Over 12,000 members and counting more everyday

- From these members above, 80% are male and 20% female

- From these members above, the largest age group of 31.8% is between 15 to 20 years old, and the second-largest age group of 24.6% is between 25 to 30 years old

- Over 1,000,000 views on the profiles of these members above

- Over 1,500 nightlife venues (clubs, bars, lounges, restaurants, cafes, billiards, rave zones) listed

- Over 2,350,000 views for these venues above

- Over 25,000 events listed for these venues above

- Over 900,000 views for these events above

- Over 19,000 photos taken from 220 events above

- Over 1,000,000 views for these event photos above

- Over 340 nightlife-and-clubbing-related articles, interviews and reviews

- Over 199,000 views for these 340 articles above

- Over 46,000 ratings given for venues & photos

So, do wish us luck for the SparxUp Awards 2010 please :)

Next year we will participate again – hopefully – with the new venture I talked about in the previous post!

[NEW STARTUP VENTURE] Online Shopping by Idebaik

Sunday, October 24th, 2010

November will be a great month for idebaik. Happy clients, new projects coming, there is no better way for us to be proud of what we have accomplished so far since we bought the company almost 8 months ago.

We are currently working on several projects, such as :

- Cheese Cake Factory (Online Shopping with intuitive admin panel to manage orders in one click)

- Riva Restaurant (part of Hotel Park Lane Jakarta – voted as South-East Asia best restaurant by Asia Tatler!)

- MOIE (Designer Furniture show-room located in Jakarta and Singapore)

- PAMA 2011 Calendar

- Coldwell Banker Intranet (fully working with Ajax)

All these projects will be 100% finished before the end of the month.

We are also finally working on our 5th in-house project since one week (After indonesiaclubbing.com, icmini.com, indoclubbing.tv and vv.vg), which will be a new concept of Clothing Online Store. This project is quite exciting since more than just being an online shopping with everything you could find in a common site of this type – and even more ! – it allows us to think about every aspect of an online project. Managing stocks, marketing, promotion, and more.

As a startup business, we still have to go through that long and windy road to climb up to reach for success, but we are happy, excited and motivated with this new business venture.

We have created and managed several online shopping so far already, but never as the owner – just as developer.  This sure will be a helluva experience and we know it’s not gonna be easy; a new friend within the Indonesia startup circle gave us a really nice quote, something to think of and something to plan far in advance to be prepared and to prevent this from happening:

“80% of startups will fail within their first year, and 80% from the rest surviving 20% will fail within the first 5 years.”
–> A statistic taken from Michael Gerber’s book “The E Myth – Why Small Business Fails and What To Do About It”.

But one that never tries will never know the sweet taste of success. But goes without saying, we don’t do it just like that – we jump with both feet in and do all the math behind first to make sure that this new thing won’t go bust. It’s a robust business plan that we need – and we’re gathering the backbones right now to make the whole process easier.

PS: We’ve also found a name, but it remains to be officially announced!

We live for deadlines

Friday, October 8th, 2010

Just some nice photos from the office – day-to-day life within the small world of idebaik.  Between projects, codes, designs, proposals and all-that-stacks there live smiles, laughter, silly jokes, funny pastimes – we are idebaik. :)


Why in-house projects?

Wednesday, September 29th, 2010

A lot of companies specialized in websites creation in Indonesia usually tend to restrict their business into creating websites for others. By others, we mean other companies that need to exist on the web.

@ Idebaik, we think slightly differently. If the core of our business is obiously making websites for others, we always try to keep a space for internal projects. Internal projects can bring a lot of benefits to us :

  • They belong to us, which means any potential revenues generated by these projects will directly contribute to the company’s good health.
  • They are a good way to experiment new things in terms of website design and programming. Some of them can be considered as laboratories or experimental playground – the place we’re testing things so that next time we implement the technology, it would already be perfect.
  • They show our clients than if we do great websites for them, we are also able to give a global approach to things we do by being able to launch our own concepts. More than “people who do websites”, we are also creative ones.
  • These projects usually generate pretty good traffic and can only give better visibility to Idebaik.

Right now, we have a few in-house projects :

  • indonesiaclubbing.com, which after nearly 4 years of life has become the 1st website dedicated to nightlife and clubbing in Indonesia, with more than 11000 registered members (september 2010).
  • indonewsletter.com, which is a killer online promotion and marketing tool, to boost your sales and increase people’s awareness on your campaign by maintaining regular communication through eNewsletter. You can send up to 150,000 emails to your database in ONE SINGLE CLICK.
  • A branded online shopping – soon to be launched.

More coming soon!

Holiday is nearing its end – we’ll be back to the office soon!

Monday, September 13th, 2010

On behalf of everyone at idebaik web & graphics, we would like to say Happy Eid Mubarak 1431 H for all of you who celebrate it.

The office has its first long, long holiday after quite a period! August was busy of course, but the half-running September seems to be even busier, what with new projects coming in…So idebaik people have been enjoying a long, well-deserved Eid holiday between the 9th and the 15th of September 2010.

idebaik office is still open during the holiday though, so don’t worry – all you have to do is to send a mail and we will respond as soon as possible.

By the way, it’s already the 4th quarter of 2010 – time flies too fast!

Stay tuned for our upcoming projects…

The HARVEST V2 is going to be launched soon!

Sunday, September 5th, 2010

The HARVEST Online Patisserie & Chocolaterie

The HARVEST, Premier Patisserie and Chocolaterie in Jakarta, with several outlets spread all over Jakarta, one in Surabaya and one in Bandung (with further expansion to other cities in the agenda), already had an old website since a few years back.

Upon meeting us, they realized that they needed something better to embrace the growing customer database, and to welcome the boom of Web 2.0.

Thus we started the development of the site about a month ago, and last week, the site went up! Well, it’s still in the soft-launching stage, but on the first day the traffic already increased by 200%, the online sales’ amount increased by 400%, and they have over 300 new members just in 3 days.

Considering that it is only the first week of the soft-opening – the Grand Launching will be after Lebaran/Eid Holiday – we are happy and optimistic that The HARVEST will become Jakarta’s leading patisserie on the internet – they’re already one of the best offline, and the new online shop will only make their services better.

Also, it goes up! When you type “cakes” on Google.co.id, The HARVEST is on 3rd position – on the first results page! First two ones are Wikipedia and Cakes.com – not their competitors anyway!

We are happy for The HARVEST and looking forward to a long-term cooperation with them in the future.
