100-word blurb
CreativeSpirits.info informs about Australian Aboriginal culture without agenda.
Written to inform and educate, articles cover all aspects of contemporary life and give voice to Aboriginal people.
Articles cover life from arts, education, health and history to land, language, justice, politics & people, spirituality & sport.
Popular topics are Stolen Generations, an up-to-date Aboriginal history timeline, identity, population statistics and much more. A large section with Aboriginal poetry is an audience magnet.
Educational resources list downloadable infographics, movies, DVDs, books and musicians with their discographies.
CreativeSpirits.info informs daily more than 3,000 visitors, many of them students and teachers.
I think your website… is truthful and current and reflects the beauty and sacredness of my people's culture and history.—Dave Sulter, Gamilaraay man, Coonabarabran, northern NSW
Positioning statement
For students, teachers and everyone else
who wants to learn about Aboriginal Australian culture, or spice up their assignments or lesson preparation,
Creative Spirits provides articles, resources and information products
that are thoroughly researched, properly referenced, well designed and easily printable.
Unlike any other website about Australia’s First Peoples,
Creative Spirits focuses on quality, ease-of-use and educational value without agenda.
Based on the template from Geoffrey Moore.
Background information about CreativeSpirits.info
I created Creative Spirits in 2000 as a site to document my travels through Western Australia, publish my photography and poetry.
In 2006 I added a section about Aboriginal culture where I started to share what I had learned and read. Over time I noticed that I had started filling a void—many Australians are hungry for ‘real’ information about Aboriginal culture.
Today CreativeSpirits.info consumes most of my spare time. I do everything: researching, writing, photography, creating educational resources, content management, marketing, SEO, software maintenance, writing templates, creating the design, optimising for speed.
Background information about Jens Korff
I was born in Melbourne but grew up in Germany - a fact which I believe helps me see Aboriginal Australia with a fresh pair of curious eyes.
I have a postgraduate diploma in IT and am working as a web developer in my day job - my hobby became my profession, and now both mutually nurture each other.
I am a conscious man interested in self-development, supporting marginalised groups and exploring creativity.
