Demetrius Spaneas, a Musician, Composer and teacher had built a static HTML site on his own which served him well for many years as a promotional site for his work, tours and news. Late last year, he decided the static site was taking a major effort to continually update was not serving his purposes anymore. At the time the site was being hosted in one place, CyberAccess, and the domains were registered in another, GoDaddy, plus he had a travel blog on Google’s Blogger.
After a meeting in Boston, we discussed pulling together his digital back-end [domain registration and hosting] and the functional front-end [website and blog] into one cohesive identity that is far more dynamic and easier for this busy musician to update himself. The result is a new account with Dreamhost, a full service green webhost and domain registrar that combines excellent customer service with one-click install of the WordPress based blog platform.
After importing Demetrius’ Blogger travel site, consulting with him on a new site structure, refining his content, building out several pages and sections, adding an audio player and finally training Demetrius on how to use WordPress, www.dspaneas.com was launched.

Here in Jamaica Plain, Roxbury and Roslindale we have a couple very active and involved Ward Committees [11 & 19]. These Ward Committees were extremely involved in organizing around Barack Obama’s presidential campaign setting records for number of phone calls made from phone banks and doors knocks made by volunteers. In light of this activism, the Committees decided to host an Inaugural Ball on January 20th, 2009 at 8:00pm to both celebrate and act as a fundraiser for some local politicians. Through some personal connections, I was able to provide the pro bono service of designing and assembling the print identity and finally the website for the event, www.jpinaugural.com.
If you are reading this prior to January 20th, 2009, we still have some tickets available. Please come by.

In November, Randi Zinn and I met a coffee shop in Chelsea in New York City to discuss the creation of a website for her newly established private yoga instruction practice. She wanted the site to be simple, elegant and a reflection of her favorite color palette. Using photos taken by professional photographer, Michael Seto and working with business coach, Elizabeth Cahill, Randi developed very directed content that she felt reflected her personal yoga practice and instruction philosophy.  I took all of that information, researched several templates and assembled www.randizinn.com.

Yes yes..it’s been a long time since I’ve added any kind of post to my site. I’ll start again very soon with the listing of fun entertaining activities. I’ve got two cities to choose from now.
In the meanwhile, I just added the new LinkedIn|Wordpress application. It is super fun that my Fresh is Best posts will now be seen on LinkedIn too.
oh..and How cool was Election Day? The world just got rocked by Change.
Happy Fall!
