Nextwave Media
No tech talk or sales talk - just proven experience, business facts, relevant case studies and happy client comments in plain English. You be the judge if we are the right company to fulfill your IT needs beyond tomorrow.
Our approach is based on collaboration - we don't try to sell you "cool" things you don't need.
And as one of Australia's longest established web development companies it certainly seems to be working.
There are many companies that profess to do what we do, a very small percentage have 9 successful years of trading behind them. By all means shop around but the reality is you will be hard pressed to find a company with more runs on the board or time on the trenches.
We listen. We educate. And then we deliver. Its that simple.

Bridglands
Bridglands are celebrating 100 years of operation in Mullumbimby this year. Bridglands began operation in Station Street beside the current Mullumbimby Hire location in 1908. The business retailed furniture and bedding much of which was made in a workshop at the rear of the retail store. As electricity was introduced to the area Bridglands also began selling and servicing electrical appliances. Bridglands has remained a strong and vibrant business over the years mostly due to its commitment to competitive pricing and customer service. Later in the year Bridglands will celebrate their centenary, which will include a celebration with former staff and also a display of old store and family memorabilia as well as a massive celebration sale..
