Here are examples of customer web-sites we have developed. Our customers set the business requirements and provided the text copy, and we did the rest. All work was done remotely, and we collaborated with the customer via phone, email, Skype, and WebEx sessions.
Businesses:
Pierce Capital Partners, M&A Investment Banking www.piercecapitalpartners.com
PierceCapitalPartners.com is a fairly basic professional web-site with a set of static web-pages that we designed and maintained for the customer.
EventGnosis, Inc. Real-Time Event Analysis Software
www.eventgnosis.com
EventGnosis.com includes many more sophisticated web-site
features, including a custom shopping cart with integrated
software license management, multi-media on-line tutorials,
a document Wiki, integration into merchant payment
processors, bug reporting, newsletter subscription
management, an administrative console with software
usage tracking, web-site analytics, Google Adwords
campaigns.
Non-Profit Organizations:
The rate of $100/day makes it possible for non-profit organizations with limited resources to afford professional web development services. It's a win/win situation for us too, because we enjoy helping these organizations spread their important message. We enable established non-profits to quickly generate revenue from their existing membership or contributor base through monthly web-site membership subscriptions and newsletters, sales of on-line video and audio media, promotion and registration of workshop events, and more.
In addition, we are experts in the use of Content Management Systems (such as Joomla) which allows multiple volunteer contributors and editors to post and maintain content on their web-site without any web-design knowledge. Many non-profits have valuable content and media assets (books, articles, brochures, audio tapes/CDs, video DVDs) sitting under-utilized on their shelves. We can also help your organization to make more effective use of these assets through your website with just a few hours of business consulting.
Jon Young, Naturalist and Educator www.regenerativecommunitydesign.org
This is a membership site, where most of the content is available to members using a username and password. It allows community members to register for workshops and get access to multi-media contents.
(A message from Lars Graf: Jon is a most amazing guy. It is well worth it to check out his work in many different fields, including nature awareness, mentoring, and community building. A mutual friend asked me to come in and help Jon and his team with some network related problems. Before we were done, it became clear that what Jon needed most was a way for him to register members of his community for workshops and to build a multi-media membership site. I happened to have a couple web developers available in my Serbian development team and we had experience with the right web technologies, so I came up with the $100/day pricing to help him out. Within a couple of weeks Jon was able to sell his workshops, and we have been working with him ever since. I told a couple friends about this, who then also asked me for help, and that's how MyWiz.biz came about.)
Namgyal Monastery, the personal Monastery of His Holiness the Dalai Lama, Dharamsala, India
clicktibet.mywiz.bizThis is a good example of a membership site with news and discussion groups and sales of multi-media assets. It is built on top of Joomla and integrates a lot of off-the-shelf Joomla components.
(Again from Lars Graf: My son Sebastian had been volunteering at the Namgyal Monastery in Dharamsala for three months. He had been working as part of the Audio Visual Department of the monastery. He came up with the idea of a multi-media web-site that could make lecture DVDs and CDs of His Holiness available to the public. I suggested that he use Joomla and that I would volunteer a couple days of developer time if he would manage the project and all the contents, and train the monks to update the site. We had the site template up and running in a matter of days on our MyWiz.biz test server. Sebastian chose the graphic templates with one of our developers. He then copied some of the news content from an existing older site. He populated the catalog with the list of current DVDs/CDs available by the monastery, and trained the monks on how to use the Joomla administrative panels to add and maintain the web-site contents. Within two weeks they pulled together a first pass of a fully functional community site with on-line media sales. I was quite astonished at the speed, not to mention terribly proud, as Sebastian was only 16 years old at the time. )
