At The Think Say Do Imagination Workshop…
Wow, my last post was in regards to building an app from scratch. I ran out of time to actually complete those posts - sorry. But, it was for a good cause. Things here at the Think Say Do imagination workshop have been going very well. Here’s a short list of what has been on the workbench:
- The Art Press & Think Say Do officially launched MyShirtSize.com, a place to make group ordering easy - for schools, for churches, for businesses, for non-profits, for artists designing their own t-shirts. And, the entire web app was tested and aimed at the Apple iPad. The Art Press staff uses the iPad internally to manage the business on the go using the 3G connection. So far hundreds of people have ordered shirts this way, and there’s more goodness to come for customers. If you’ve got a group of people needing to order screen printed shirts, give them a call right now!
- New Mission Systems International & Think Say Do have been collaborating on online donations and Raiser’s Edge data mining, along with Authorize.net API services for secure data storage and recurring donations.
- I have been working with the The Wesleyan Church World Headquarters since 2007 on web applications and systems. This year we’re working together on a new event registration system that will be a great improvement for their annual events. Launching early 2011 with lots of nice HTML5. Built on our new internal web & mobile app framework.
- GunterSchwarz Advertising in the Quad Cities has been contracting with Think Say Do to help launch a new website for a client complete with a powerful custom content management system (CMS) built specifically for the client’s needs. We’ve even got some nice map integration, MP4 videos, banner ad management, and other amenities that will give the staff a lot of flexibility.
- Along with those major projects, we’ve been doing hundreds of smaller projects for the likes of DK New Media in Indianapolis, Peterson Machinery Sales in Arizona, CEF in Kuwait, e-Media Resources in Sun Prairie Wisconsin, A Bride’s Choice Florist in Indianapolis, Ingold Sound Systems in Ohio, and others. Thank you to those of you who have trusted me to help you build great online experiences, from web apps to web sites to iPad apps to mobile sites. More good stuff to come in 2010 and 2011!
Today, I’m attending the 2010 Masters of Business Online conference in Fishers, Indiana, just north of Indianapolis. The focus of the conference is on social media and online marketing, along with search engine optimization (SEO). Guys from HubSpot, FormSpring.me, and CrazyEgg will be there, along with many other well respected experts in their fields. If time permitted next year, I would love to speak on how web & mobile applications can be built for great online experiences. Mobile is hot these days, but it needs special attention. Slapping a mobile skin on your site isn’t enough.
Thanks for reading, have a great week!
