Dance Films Association

Posted on January 24, 2012 by in

When DFA came to us, their site was disorganized and did not properly communicate their programs or mission. They also did not have a proper place to list out their events. We worked very closely with DFA to define their overall goals and produced a new site to meet those goals.

ABOUT DFA
DFA is dedicated to furthering the art of dance film. Connecting artists and organizations, fostering new works for new audiences, and sharing essential resources, DFA seeks to be a catalyst for innovation in and preservation of dance on camera.

They were a recipient of The Rockefeller Foundation’s New York City Cultural Innovation Fund Awards in 2011, in partnership with TenduTV (another client of ours).

Greater Jamaica Development Corporation

Posted on January 24, 2012 by in

Greater Jamaica Development Corporation is a fantastic organization. They are one of New York’s oldest not-for-profit local development corporations. Since its founding in 1967 by the Regional Plan Association and local business, civic and community leaders, GJDC has stressed economic development as it pursues its community-building mission. However, their site was disorganized, and had not been updated in over 1 year.

We worked very closely with their in-house designer to build out a completely new custom WordPress site. We also worked with their team to help migrate over all of their content.

When Debra came to us, her WordPress site was disorganized and was using a pre-built template. We gave her a completely new logo and totally reorganized her content. In order to highlight all the great resources she has, we also created a completely custom presentations page. Overall, her traffic has increased, she’s received more leads, and she’s received great feedback.

NYU Center for Religion & Media

Posted on January 24, 2012 by in

Before NYU’s Center for Religion and Media came to us, their site was simply outdated. They were lacking a workable Content Management System and needed a design refresh. We setup their department on WordPress, got them on better hosting, helped them port over all their content, setup an events management system, and reorganized their site structure. Since the launch, they have been adding content with great ease and are once again proud to promote their organization’s website.

ABOUT NYU CRM
The Center for Religion and Media at New York University is one of ten Centers of Excellence funded by The Pew Charitable Trusts. It is a joint project of the Religious Studies Program (Angela Zito, Director) and the Center for Media, Culture, and History, (Faye Ginsburg, Director, Barbara Abrash, Director of Public Programming). Jeff Sharlet is the editor of the Center’s innovative web journal, The Revealer: A Daily Review of Religion and the Press.

Tendu TV

Posted on January 24, 2012 by in

TenduTV is a digital network that delivers dance programming to over 500 million screens in 10 countries including televisions, tablets and mobile devices. Previous to our involvement, TenduTV did not have a system for displaying or managing their catalogue online. We created custom post types to allow them to build a nascent IMDB-like system, listing out all their films via a manageable system.

Ways to Backup Your WordPress Site

Posted on June 9, 2011 by in Articles, interesting, wordpress

Oh no! My dog ate my website! That is exactly what it feels like when you upgrade your WordPress site and your older plugins don’t exactly get along with the new software. When dealing with WordPress, it is not uncommon to run into a few bugs and hiccups. Sometimes you upgrade for security (like when a new version of WordPress is released). Or maybe the newer version of that plugin you love runs much faster or looks much sleeker than its crusty predecessor. Whatever reason you chose to modify your WordPress setup, it is imperative that you back everything up – just in case things go wrong (and they do).

So – without ado – here are a few options that will help (and most likely save) you or your client’s website.
