New Testimonial – DouDouLe Latin Dance Camp

James Quinn-Hawtin — Wed, 10 Mar 2010 04:01:18 +0000

‘The DouDouLe Latin Dance camp website served its purpose in 2009 but for 2010 I needed something that looked more professional and that really got the prospective attendees excited. The Website-in-a-Day service was the ideal solution as I got a professional result, in a tight timeframe and on a budget. Not only that but James’ ten years of web design and business experience meant that he could give me valuable insight and direction as to how best to design and promote the website for maximum sales. The 2010 website is professional, easy for customers to use and easy for me to update via the Content Management System. It is exactly what I need to promote the camp and sell tickets.’

Thanks to Megan Walker of Market Savvy and to Amy Bent of Mirador Creative for emailing me the idea for this one!

Megan’s Market Savvy website is an example of our new Website-in-a-Day package!

By the way, with over 100 million DAILY users, Facebook is potentially a great marketing resource for your small business. For example, it is great for promoting events. If you’re running a social event or a workshop or a seminar and you’re not promoting it using Facebook Events (a free service within the Facebook system), you ARE missing out on attendees…

A new front page for Smooth Latin Groove

James Quinn-Hawtin — Thu, 26 Mar 2009 05:41:27 +0000

Webnerd has enjoyed a long business relationship with Smooth Latin Groove, beginning when its owner Ian Corbett stumbled upon one of my business cards that had been left on a dance studio seat.

When Webnerd first designed and built the Smooth Latin Groove website more than two years ago, it was acknowledged by the Australian Web Designers Network who gave it their highest award.

Over the years the website has grown to include an online shop, an online enrolment system and a custom-made student management system that is now integral to the smooth running of the school.

More recently we have overhauled the front page to feature a chroma-keyed video (the background is transparent) and promotional boxes controlled by the Content Management System. Check it out

Will you help Brisbane’s homeless?

If you know what it’s like to go without sleep, consider Brisbane’s homeless. They often bed down on bare concrete or in wet gardens.

The 139 Club Homeless Shelter is located at 505 Brunswick Street, Fortitude Valley in Brisbane. My cousin Jason volunteers at the shelter on a regular basis. They are holding a walk to raise much needed funds this Saturday (30th August) at 2:45pm. It is a scenic 6km walk from the 139 Club taking in the Story Bridge, riverside walk, Goodwill Bridge and Botanic Gardens. It will finish back at the 139 Club.

I am writing to you to ask you to sponsor me this Saturday.

If everyone reading this (including YOU) donated just $5/kilometre ($30 total), we would raise over $1000!

There’s noone on my mailing list who doesn’t have it better than any of Brisbane’s homeless and cannot afford $30 (or more)

To sponsor me, make your donation in either of the two ways:

Put it on your credit card (Note: you do not need to be a PayPal member and you do not need to join up – see the link under “Don’t have a PayPal account?” on the left)
Do a direct deposit (Account name: WEBNERD; BSB Number: 304-123; Account Number: 900529-9). Please include your name as the “reference” and email me to let me know that you’ve done it.

Donations over $2 are tax deductible. If you want a receipt, please email me letting me know how much you donated and your postal address).

If you would also like to participate in the walk, let me know and I will send you the information.
