Website Launch: LinnAreaPhotoClub.org

LAPC

http://LinnAreaPhotoClub.org

Linn Area Photography Club is a non-profit organization helping photographers gain more knowledge and experience as well as an inspiration or ideas to get out take more photos! They have members who are beginners up to semi-pros!

The group has over 80 members in the Linn County Iowa area and struggled with communications as a huge email list was their only means of communication. As people joined the club or changed email they struggled with keeping a single list. No one was sure all the time who had the most recent list of emails and every time they sent an email, they got returns and errors.

They had a website but it was old and very static. They also needed a better way to manage newsletters monthly, display images and have a calendar of events not only for upcoming meetings but upcoming photo shoots, contests and more!

Website Launch: Lutheran Church of the Resurrection

Monday, November 9th, 2009

HomePage

http://LCRMarion.org

I really enjoyed developing this website solution for a local church in Marion, IA. If there was ever a perfect fit for WordPress, a church comes very close. You have diverse congregation of people, the church staff and volunteer committees and groups inside the church. All of them share the need to communicate to the congregation on a regular and timely basis.

To date, most churches have used the traditional print newsletter on a monthly basis, weekly printed bulletins at the weekend services (for those members who attend) and more recently churches are using email, some too much!

The Details of the website

We developed a WordPress website using the bSocial Theme from iThemes.com and transferred their existing web pages to the new site. We then trained the staff on how to login and update and change the pages when they want to. We learned many of the pages hadn’t been updated for over a year and there were pages they wanted to add!

Rubicon Photo website is live

Friday, September 25th, 2009

Rubicon-photo Jeff Schmatt has been a photographer for many years. He has a successful studio near Mt Vernon but he also travels to the clients or events and he also shoots commercial photography. He does great work with Seniors and families!

For this project we used the iThemes Life Theme and customized the header and some colors.

Plugins include Subscribe2 for managing email subscribers, NextGen Gallery for photo albums.

We also integrated this site with Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter and MySpace.

When Jeff completes a photo shoot with a client he creates a blog post and includes a gallery of low-res photos which link to his online fulfillment gallery.

He then chooses a category for each post (Seniors, Commercial, Family, etc..) which auto creates his portfolio links.

Next every blog posts automatically updates the social network sites which brings users back to his website.
