At COLETEK, we provide end-to-end web development — from domain names and secure hosting to scalable backend systems and real-time AI interfaces. Whether you're after a lightweight landing page or a high-performance, complex web application — we’ve done it all.
- Real-time chat, dashboards, and analytics
- Mobile-first responsive web apps (Bootstrap 5)
- Custom eCommerce with intelligent automation
- Content management systems (custom or headless)
- SEO-optimized landing pages and microsites
- Web interfaces for IoT & embedded devices
- AI-powered bots and data scrapers
Our current stack uses Node.js with our custom CRED architecture (Controller–Route–Event–Database), designed for scalability and clarity. We build with Bootstrap 5.0+ and modern frontend tooling, and avoid over-reliance on bloated CMS like WordPress.
We're also Linux-native developers, fluent in backend and frontend — working directly with HTML5, CSS3, JavaScript/ES6+, MySQL, Python, Web2py, jQuery, WebSocket, Apache, and more. When security, performance, and long-term maintainability matter, COLETEK delivers.
Why Choose COLETEK?
We’re not your average web developers. Many devs out there rely on off-the-shelf templates, WordPress plugins, and Windows-based workflows. Their sites might look decent — but lack backend strength, scalability, or security.
At COLETEK, we:
- Write clean, secure, efficient code — not just design pretty sites
- Build scalable backends with Node.js and Python, not just PHP
- Have been Linux-first since the 90s — the same OS that powers most web servers
- Understand SEO from first principles (we’ve reverse-engineered search engines since the 2000s)
- Include penetration testing to secure your site against both automated bots and targeted attacks
Proven Track Record
Since 2001, we've delivered dozens of commercial websites, platforms, and internal tools. Below are just a few highlights. Our full-stack experience extends from UI design to secure APIs, automated scraping, and cloud deployment.

The STS Irons website was by us to facilitate the sales and marketing of the award winning STS irons we also designed and prototyped.
In terms of frontend code, its HTML5 based and uses the bootstrap framework, allowing the site to be mobile friendly out of the box. It is one of the most modern aesthetically pleasing websites we have done, as it utilizes our graphics experts, that came on board in 2014. As you can see there is also some cool eye catching effects.
In terms of backend code, it is one of the most simplest sites we have done. It only has one form at this stage. However was setup to allow a shopping cart, when the client is ready.

Years Active: 2014-2016
The iCEPIKK website was created to facilitate the sales and marketing of the iCEPIKK mobile app we also designed, prototyped and released.
In terms of frontend code, its HTML5 based, but not mobile friendly. It is a simple landing page website to show case the promo video and interface you to the native mobile apps. As you can see, the landing page is rather aesthetically pleasing.
The mobile apps, used Sencha and PhoneGap frameworks. This allowed us to efficiently compile and release a Android-based PlayStore app and iPhone-based AppStore app, within minutes.
http://www.tipeezy.com
Years Active: 2013-2016
Tipeezy was very popular in its day. It allowed people to make footy comps, for footy tipping between mates, family and colleagues. It was 100% free, and was a world first footy tipping system. At its peak had over 17,000 users and over 4,500 footy comps. And scraped footy fixtures data in real-time and handled all the analytics to calculate users scores and comp winners in real-time.
The webapp and mobile apps, used Sencha and PhoneGap frameworks. This allowed us to efficiently compile and release a Android-based PlayStore app, iPhone-based AppStore app and PC-based web app, within minutes.
http://www.revbook.com
Years Active: 2010-2013
Revbook was very popular in its day. It allowed users to buy and sell cars, bikes, boats, caravans and trucks. It also had a real-time chat window to talk direct with users and dealers. And a forum for car enthusiasts. It was 100% free, and a world first all-in-one car enthusiast system. At its peak had over 20,000 listings. Listings where scraped from many dealers in real-time.
It used jQuery and jQuery UI features, however overall it was a 100% custom frontend and backend website. The graphics was impressive for its era. And the backend code was advanced to allow real-time updates, and advanced search features that carsales.com.au couldn't compete with. The SEO was done by us also, and its performance was outstanding.
http://www.softwarecare.com
Years Active: 2009-2012
This website was a sports odds analyzer that helps predict match outcomes based on betting patterns. It parsed XML feeds which consisted of 1000's of bookmakers, and 100,000's of various sports games odds. It would then crunch the numbers in real-time to provide optimal bets. It also provided a history of odds for future predictions and to flag possible false positives. It was rather fancy, and made alot of users rich. Unfortunately the odds feed provider produced increasingly incorrect data over time, which caused too many false positives and late data. We considered creating our own parsing systems for each bookmaker, but that involves some significant on-going overheads which was not financially feasible.

Years Active: 2004+
Penboy is a gallery of pen drawings. It is a simple site, that allowed our client to add new drawings efficiently before the days of WordPress, etc. It is well overdue for an update.
http://www.coletek.homedns.org
Years Active: 2001-2006
This was us back in the day! The site offered development services (like we do now), but also provided a partial autonomous shopping system to allow resale of various electronics. It had shopping cart features. Lots of backend tools for current/past orders. Many admin backend tools for statistics. The website scraped various wholesales in real-time, had currency conversion (via xe.com) and PayPal credit card payments. It also had some advanced analytics to define popular and featured products. For early 2000, it was a popular shopping based website.
http://www.lowzo.com
Years Active: 2007-2011
We developed this website for ourselves as a spin off from our shopping based services back in 2001-2006. It was a world first shopping comparison website. Also allowed anybody to add products they wanted to sell. All 100% free. We called it the "Purchase Engine" (to compete with the "Search Engine").
