Our latest product is designed by designers, for designers.
Designers need to know what tools they have at hand, but don't usually have the time to be across everything Drupal.
Palette gives a designer his or her favourite Drupal modules and keeps them updated and ready for install at any time, for any site.
More flexible and more current than an install profile, Palette aims to give the designers all the Drupal tools they need - from the quote, to going live.

Mentone Fancy Dress is one of our original clients, and one of our first success stories...
Sherrin Bracci ran a wonderful enterprise in beachside Mentone, renting clean and colourful costumes to the locals.
Her first website with us went off like the clappers, and within weeks, she was getting enquiries from suburbs 20 minutes drive away.
The clean, easily navigable design appealed to customers as much as the custom CMS tools (painfully handcrafted by Simon Hobbs - thank goodness for Drupal!) appealed to Sherrin and her staff.

This is very cool... a playground conversation between Swinburne University academic and bass-playing Mum Amanda Lawrence, and Lonely Planet's project management guru Nick Thorpe led to Em Space scoring this very interesting project.

Thorpe was evangelising Drupal and Em Space's Simon Hobbs to Lawrence who was in the process of considering who was to develop the new Creative Centre for Innovation website.

Break out the Lulla-bubbly, the 'Bots have finally arrived. The rockstars of Drupal have hit Australian shores to conduct five days of funk'd-out Drupal training - three days of theming and jQuery (just completed by yours truly!) and two days of API and module dev.

And let me say, it was everything I was hoping for and more. These guys are sooooo cool and soooooo good, they could even get a design hack like me to pumping out php.

We are super-pumped to announce our new Go Live package that will get start-up businesses on the web in only three days. A walk-in service, we developed this idea to launch our beautiful new Edithvale studio.

With Go Live, you get a home, about us and a contact form as well as two other pages of your choice in your corporate colours, with your logo. We'll also train you up so you can make the site your own. Sweet!

The excellent Australian design mag Desktop graced Drupal with a two page spread entitled Meet my new pal: Drupal (April 08 edition).
Matthew Magain makes the case for Drupal from a designer point of view, in a refreshing style without jargon. You can read the full text here.

If you're life was a show, would anyone buy a ticket?
Yes, but only if it looked as lovely as the new Melbourne Workers Theatre website...
Designed by the extraordinary talents at Publicity Works, Em Space took this delicious design and created an offset dynamic flash menu with some flash animation and powered the whole thing up with Drupal.
This is the first of many upcoming collaborative projects that we'll be rolling out with Publicity Works over the coming months.

An exciting new business venture, HMR Healthcare is a new supplier to the aged care industry. Started recently by Jennifer and Campbell Hannan (who also co-founded the chewing gum cleaning specialists businessCOYB) who recognised that as more baby boomers collect their pensioner cheques, there will be an increasing need (and desire) from this generation for funky frames and cool comodes.

Thanks to the 40+ people who attended our first Drupal MiniCon. It was a lot of fun and we can't wait to do it again next year.

Thanks especially to our sponsors Taniwha Solutions (whose principal Simon Roberts gave a valuable talk on caching) and Lonely Planet (lead developer Gordon Heydon spoke edifyingly about ecommerce) and us, Em Space.

Also, thanks to Simone Cresp of the Alley Bar who eased the way so elegantly.
