This week SKYLINE are into a bit of self promotion!!

Please take a quick surf around the newly revamped and launched website for the HKGA (Hong Kong Golf Association). Hong Kong's most popular golf portal was in rather drastic need of an overhaul and SKYLINE came to the rescue.

Did you know that you could purchase the latest "Rules of Golf", discounted packages from various suppliers (current special offer is tickets for a "Seekers" concert), preview content in the HK Golfer magazine, find out where to play or who to play with, check your handicap, enter various tournaments and much more.

This 80MB website consists of around 400 HTML pages, 800 images, 30 PDF documents, 20 instances of JavaScript code, 10 ASP pages, 2 MS Access databases and 1 Flash image. SKYLINE have also built a backend admin page that allows the HKGA staff to dynamically post content and information for themselves. The first phase of this is to auto upload Tournament Tee Times to the relevant sections of the website.

This is not all that SKYLINE are capable of delivering for clients. If you would like to know more about our services and product range, or if this type of website is the kind of service you are looking for then please drop us a note <<click here>>. You could also be Powered by SKYLINE Technologies Limited !!
