POWERSHiFTER 2.0
Version 1.0 of our site over stayed it’s welcome longer than I ever thought possible. We have been working on our 2.0 site since late last year. In fact we just celebrated the wireframes 1st birthday. Kidding aside, the reason for the delay is because we have been busy with exciting new client work. Most of our new work never even made the pages of the 1.0 version of the site’s portfolio page because, we thought 2.0 completion was just around the corner.
The directive to our sr. developer was to make it pixel perfect, something he does every time anyway, and make the backend so easy to update that we could task either our parents or an intern to do it. I am happy to announce that he did both. Not only did he nail the visual handed to him by the art director, he also customized the CMS so that 95% of the site could be updated without a single line of code being manually altered. The reason for the direction was two fold, firstly this is what we would deliver to our clients, and secondly so many digital agency sites are poorly cobbled together quickly between client projects and it’s too hard for anyone other than the busy agency developer to update.
We are extremely proud of our new site and know that it better reflects who were are as an agency. Please explore the site and feel free to let us know what you think in the comments below.
Getting Down to Business!
I was quite flattered to be profiled in Business in Vancouver Magazine last week. It was a real hit with the friends and family on my social networks when I posted it. Kidding aside, the timing could not have been better to be honest. We have been working non stop now for quite some time and it feels good to see that we are getting a little visability for it. There is also something very tactile with being in a print magazine. In our digital work space we forget that there is a tangible world of print. I scanned it to make sure that the wrinkles and 150 dpi where not lost on the viewers here on the blog. You can see the entire ‘newsprinty’ profile by clicking the details link.
I would also like to thank my lovely wife for snapping the awesome shot.
I will be a panelist at the ‘How to Profit from Social Media Marketing’ workshop
I will be joined by top Vancouver social media experts Shane Gibson and Dr. Raul Pacheco-Vega for practical advice on expanding your network and increasing sales through social media marketing. The night will consist of networking, presentations and the three panelists answering questions from both the moderator and the audience.
Won’t you join us the evening of Monday April 13th at the Harrison Gallery. Where we will answer the question. “How can you get social media working for your business?”
