WordPress Now – A New Premium WordPress Theme Company

The aggressive market of WordPress themes has recently seen the addition of a new premium theme provider, WordPress Now. The company is currently offering three unique WordPress themes with prices as low as $49. WordPress Now will be releasing a new theme on a weekly basis to keep a “fresh” selection of themes available to their customers.

At midnight (12:00AM U.S. EST) on June 5, 2009, the company released the WordPress Now website to the public. At that time there were three premium themes available for purchase, including Bloom, Triumph and Elements.

The prices of WordPress Now’s themes are set at an extremely competitive bracket against similar themes f r o m other providers. Four different price points come with each available theme; branded single-use, branded multi-use, unbranded single-use and unbranded multi-use, each caters to different customer needs. Mr. Lee Cooper, Project Director of WordPress Now says that “There is a choice for everyone, whether you need the theme for one website or twenty five. And if you don’t want our logo branded on the website, all you have to do is purchase one of the unbranded options.”

“Our themes come with many features to enhance the functionality,” says Mr. Ryan Maffit, Lead Web Developer. “We want to satisfy an appetite that many of our customers have. Most seek a theme that makes their website unique, and all of our themes have features that make that possible.”

The design of WordPress Now and all of the themes is headed by Mr. Jesse Wingert. Previously a freelance graphic designer, Mr. Wingert has spent the last eight years practicing and exercising his skills with web designing. He says, “To some, having to design a new theme every week would seem like a burden, but I find it especially exciting. It is a great way to use my creativity and skills to their full potential. To stand back and look at your work succeed brings one of the greatest feelings to artistic people like myself.”

As for releasing a new theme every week, Mr. Lee Cooper said, “Most weeks will see a new theme released f r o m WordPress Now. Some weeks may see two new themes, some may see none. But in a 52 week period, we plan on releasing 52 different themes.”

WordPress Now has a development blog and social networking pages such as Twitter, Facebook and MySpace, which offer different ways for customers to keep track of what the developers are working on. For now though, we can only wait and see what the company has up its sleeves for their future theme releases.

Web Site Company Focused On Disable Friendly Designs

Companies are becoming more aware of how their web site appears to users and how to improve their accessibility. However, there is an audience that is still being forgotten when designing a web site; the disabled.

Disabilities range immensely, but The Creare Group is working towards creating their websites to cater for some of the conditions people possess that affects their use of the Internet. The Creare Group is a company who is discovering different tools to use on their site to ensure they are user friendly for everyone.

With video files integrated on their site, The Creare Group sees this as a tool that may be appealing for those with limited eye site. The percentage of web sites that are accessible to people who are visually impaired is less than a third and there needs to be ways to make websites far more user friendly.

The videos explain what the Creare Group can offer a customer in terms of a web design, SEO (Search Engine Optimisation) and to also explain their new franchise opportunities that have opened this year. These videos are such a proven success that The Creare Group is now offering their customers a web design to enhance usability.

The Creare Group is always looking out for ways to cater for different audiences. They have done thorough research and have contacted a variety of charities to enquire about tools that could help towards making sites friendlier to those who have limited eyesight, difficulty with navigation and other disabilities that affect a persons use of the Internet.

The information that has been found is vital to the growth and improvement of not only The Creare Group sites, but also for their customers, by working towards making their web sites more accessible for the disabled. There has been a progress of what requirements are needed to aid those with accessibility difficulties.

Research is on going, but the progress The Creare Group intends to make will hopefully make their sites far easier to access and to make time online less stressful for those that have unique requirements.

Webstation Australia Deployed The New Appointmentdiary V8 ALF For Client Total Chemicals

An innovative technology system called AppointmentDiary V8 ALF (auto-lead-filtering) developed by appointment scheduling specialists GObookings Systems has been deployed by web designers and managers WebStation Australia. GObookings is an Australian based company with government, university, corporate and business clients within Australia and the USA.

The unique AppointmentDiary Version 8 ALF system was recently added to a new web site for industry leader Total Chemicals, manufacturers and distributors of a large and complex range of industrial chemical products. Total Chemicals pride themselves on their customer service and needed a way to further streamline their online customer services by quickly coupling customers with a consultant conversant in the particular product range of interest.

The ALF solution allows the customer to firstly select a product range. Once the customer has selected the product range and day; available times are then displayed reflecting the availability of the consultant(s) for that product. Customer appointments are then made in an easy seamless and user-friendly way. The customer is able to book the ‘right consultant’ to telephone them at a time and day which suits them, with an instant email confirmation.

Simultaneously the auto-lead-filtering process initiates an instant SMS text message and email to that particular consultant. The Total Chemicals Sales Manager also receives an email confirmation for each appointment made and has the capability to view and report on the activity of the various consultants across any number of locations.

Total Chemicals Co-Founder Chris Barton commented – “AppointmentDiary ALF has increased sales dramatically whilst delivering improved service to existing and new customers. With our large range of products it allows better access for customers to the appropriate qualified sales consultant.”

The AppointmentDiary V8 ALF system is secured by 128 bit SSL encryption throughout and has many powerful and unique features including time zones, daylight saving features, multi-location capability, irregular time slots, a forward time feature to control the flow of appointments and customizable interfaces for each consultant and support staff. Should it be needed a built-in option also exists for an intelligent auto-rostering system across sales personnel for the same product. In addition the same solution will work in conjunction with a call centre to better manage sales leads from multiple sources. The AppointmentDiary V8 ALF system is available in Hosted Enterprise and Server Enterprise versions.

WebStation also installed the proven GOpay credit card payment system wholesale/retail shopping cart to handle online sales for TOTAL.

Take11 provides a web service for online cataloging of videos and dvds

Every technology has limitations and drawbacks. In the case of home entertainment systems, a drawback is the need to organize and manage a collection of videos and dvds. Even when many videos are borrowed, rather than owned, we’d like to be able to track what we’ve seen, make a wish list, assign our own ratings, and create notes about particular movies. Ever stand in a video store with dvd in hand and wonder whether you already own that particular title?

The solution is a system for cataloging—but the system must be easy to use; that is, it must take advantage of what we already know. Software developers Mitch and Jim Haileare creating such a system—a web site called Take11.com where users can catalog their video collections.

Take11 is a web service: there is no software to buy, download, or update. Anyone who can use a web browser can use Take11. If you have a web-enabled mobile phone, you can access Take11 remotely, such as from your local dvd store. To add to your collection, you input just three or four key terms, and Take11 will fill in many details: actors, director, studio, running time—even a cover image. You can then add your own tags, comments, and ratings. As the number of Take11 users grows, so will its database, and this will allow users to explore other collections and search for little known gems from the film industry.

Take11 has just been released for public beta-testing: the developers need users who will explore the site, test features, and give constructive feedback. Anyone who regularly watches videos at home should give Take11 a look.

Mitch Haile earned a degree in computer science from The College of Wooster. He has been employed by Motorola and several Silicon Valley startups. Currently he is a freelance software engineer based in Boston.

Jim Haile earned an engineering degree from Vanderbilt and a PhD in engineering from the University of Florida.
