New World Communications Does Google-powered Website for Seattle-based Not-for-Profit/NGO SavingVillageLives.org


This afternoon I am reflecting and resonating about recent Google-powered website ...SavingVillageLives.org that I designed and developed for a not-for-profit/NGO client with ties here in Seattle's Greater Puget Sound region and in rural Ethiopia where my client comes from. They are just starting up.The direction we took, working with  new Google Apps/Google Sites architecture was straight-forward and elegantly simple to work with and administer.  

We even designed, produced and embedded a 3 minute 47 second web television overview of the organizations mission and vision on YouTube that integrates nicely with the architecture. We also used a Picasa web slideshow to create a nice Photo Gallery page.. with automatic slide changes. Google Sites architecture also supported the creation of helpful List pages that list the kinds of volunteer help and the kinds of in-kind donations that the organization needs in order to achieve its mission... saving village lives.  Their vision is to do this by helping people out with things that many of us..here in the Pacific Northwest take for granted...like plenty of clean water, public sanitation and having schools and healthcare resources close by. Next to do will be to enable Online Giving once the organization completes its non-for-profit incorporation 501(c) 3 process. A blog page will also be forthcoming once more volunteers are recruited to help write it. 

This project and relationship has and continues to be a wonderful experience supporting such a great initiative and working with such great clients. Do you also have a need to develop a non-profit website with a modest budget...and get similar great results? If so, call us today and maybe we can also help you to move forward as well. 425-780-6872.

Ustream has both web television low end... as well as a High End... Nice!!


This afternoon I am again flowing positive energy... with the discovery that folks at Ustream.tv...have both a web television "Low End"...e..g. using no-cost and low-cost Ustream instant webcasting as well as "High End" professional Global Production services. Wow... does finding more about Ustream help ...fill in the blanks... and fix "the communications disconnect" that I have been experiencing...seeing gorgeous top notch televised big event video ...with the Ustream name on it... streaming gorgeously from C-Span and even from some local conferences...here in Seattle... and being unhappy at the kind of quality I have been experiencing working with their low-end offering and seeing funky stuff being webcasted by some of my consulting and coaching friends with the sane lower quality issues.

So BINGO!  everything changed after I went back to Ustream.tv's website and found their Production Services page and the kind of high end extra gear and expertise they and their contract production team were using...like broadcast quality gear and NewTek's TriCaster. So wow... is it nice to now have both of these resources ...now at my disposal. Look out world!  Here comes New World Communications... now with a greatly expanded ...full spectrum offering of both low end... as well as high end web television-based and conferenced based ..new tools and strategies... 

So what about that regional or national conference that your organization has been talking about...that's in the planning stages? What about adding value... and adding even more revenue... by allowing remote participants...and high powered presenters ...and dignitaries ...to also "be there"...remotely? Call me and lets' connect and explore this excellent opportunity. 425-780-6872.
