In September WSI held an Education and Innovation Conference, WSI members from around the world attend the conference to keep up to date with the latest strategies in Digital Internet Marketing.

As part of the conference WSI raised money for the “Build a School” project.  The project aims to bring the light of knowledge through proper education so that we can help eradicate many of the evils that plague the lives of needy children, from malnutrition to AIDS and from lack of potable water to inadequate shelter.

There is a proverb that says: “Give a man a fish and he will eat for a day, teach a man to fish and he will eat for the rest of his life”. WSI Aims to raise funds to build schools in areas where children don’t have access to the most elementary conditions, by empowering them with Education.

At WSI our aim is to raise $15,000 toward our MCPH “Build a School” project, and we are almost there.

On behalf of those children, thank you for being part of the solution, and choosing through your involvement, to be the change you want to see in the world!

Help us to build your dream CMS! We’re working on our own system and we’d like to make it available for all of you to offer to your clients. What do you love or hate about existing systems? What’s the one feature that you’ve always wanted? Let us know and we’ll do our best to make it happen.<!–more–>

Why not use an existing CMS?

Using an off-the-shelf CMS has many advantages; they usually allow you to deploy a site quickly at low cost. Many of them also have an active development community, meaning you have access to custom “modules” and additional functionality. The trade-off is that all of this comes at the expense of flexibility and usability. You no longer have the same level of control over your site’s processes and appearance as you would with a bespoke build.

Our aim is to build a system which allows us to create a bespoke quality site, with the cost and delivery time of an off-the-shelf product.

Building Our Own CMS In-House

Our in-house designers and developers created our first system from the ground up about 18 months ago. It was basic but was built on the principles of speed, security and simplicity for the user. These fundamentals have been paramount since then as we’ve built in features and slowly increased the systems capabilities.

When we make the system available to other ICs we’re hoping to have the following features available as standard:

• Simple page management for single or multi nav sites
• Flawless SEO friendly URLs
• Advanced visitor reporting/statistics built into the back-office
• A customisable live feed of activity on your site
• News, event, user, banner and bulk email management
• Automatic HTML and XML sitemap generation

We’ve spent a lot of time ensuring that the user interface for the back-office is as clean and easy to use as possible. Here’s a quick preview of the current build:

We’re going to continue getting our system ready and want it to be as useful for you as it has been for us. Tell us what you like or dislike the most about the systems you are using at the moment. Tell us what your dream feature would be. What’s the one thing that your last client asked for that you weren’t able to deliver?

We want to hear it all no matter how big or small the feature! Leave a comment below or email dan@wsi-ebizsolutions.biz directly.

“No one should go hungry in this day and age, especially children whose entire development and future potential depends on their health and nutrition. Every child deserves to have the essentials of clean water, health care and basic education. Our goal is to take the necessary steps to end child poverty – one child, one village at a time.”

The agenda focussed around the challenges and opportunities presented by the global economic slowdown.  The worst for a generation and the first of the new digital age.  During these challenging economic times consumers are becoming more and more price conscious. Over 80% of Internet users now compare prices and options prior to making an online purchase. With Internet usage figures increasing to over 41 million individuals online this year this represents key opportunities for WSI’s clients.

At the event Google presented the very latest research findings into visitor behaviour and the impact the economic slowdown is having on all key online sectors.  This advice extended to Pay Per Click advertising, Social Media Optimisation and key technical aspects of Search Engine Optimisation including Landing Page Optimisation and the future of Link Building Activity.

In addition Google provided demonstrations of their very latest Search Optimisation tools and a rare insight into their future endeavours within the Search and Internet Marketing Arena.

We will be sharing all of these insights with our clients over the coming weeks and months to help gain the greatest potential from their online marketing campaigns.
