Kinesis Interactive Design commenced trading in late 2001 as a general, do-everything-and-anything web site development company. After much initial success, a combination of Matthew's exceptional design skills and Ben and Alex's knowledge of database programming gave Kinesis the exciting opportunity to develop a cinema web site for the New Zealand circuit of Reading Cinemas. The team gained an enormous amount of skill from this project which helped to later expand the Reading Cinemas web site to cover both their wholly-owned and partly-owned Australian cinema network.
Over the course of development, the team at Kinesis found that each new site required similar functions to the last. This gave birth to the idea of KICS - the Kinesis Interactive Cinema System. KICS is a fully-featured web site system built from the ground up to help cinemas manage and maintain their web site. For more information about KICS, please take our feature tour.
As of 2006 Kinesis ceased taking on any new development work that was not directly involved in the cinema industry. Since it's inception, Kinesis has developed cinema web sites for over 45 cinema locations across the country, as well as web sites for distributors and online ordering systems for concession vendor Superpop. The renewed focus on cinema web site development has enabled the KICS platform to expand and provide many additional services, including printable flyers, movie trailers, quiz functions and much more.
Kinesis consists of a small and dedicated team of web site programmers, database developers and designers. Key staff are listed below with descriptions of their history and experience. Kinesis are an online company with staff located in many places across Australian and the globe.
