Workshops and Projects in Fall 2020

*|MC:SUBJECT|*

Learn WordPress
in the time it takes to have coffee

That was the idea when Jamii Corley, the owner of Ideas and Coffee, started WordPress Work Along a number of years ago.

Learning any new skill can be more fun in a study group with experts present. So take it easy, make your favorite drink, join us and share insightful tips with each other.

Curious how an online, COVID-safe Work Along will work? T ake a look at our previous session.

We welcome everyone the first Thursday of every month, and the next Work Along will be on October 1st | Online | from 6:30pm - 8pm. Please RSVP below.

Noventum Talk - Not just technical

My team and I held our first Talk on the last day of July. The Talk was to help small business owners facing technical issues running their eCommerce sites.

I invited my wife, Nadya Kimbar, to present during Noventum's first Talk. She ran her own knitwear manufacturing company for 5 years in Russia.

When we got married, she moved to America, and she is now starting a new business, an Amazon online store management company.

I thought it would be helpful to share with you her tips for Women's Business Grants & Loans in 2020, and tell you how different it is to start a business in America.

What's the topic for the next Talk? That's up to you!

Share with u s your interests and what you want to learn about: that could become our next Talk.

Projects - Brian + Junchao Marvel

I, Brian, have never joined a pub quiz... until this September.

For the first time ever, Junchao, Ngoc and I, and Pete from Oakley Studio teamed up for a quiz show featuring Marvel movies.

That was a super fun night even though we learned more than we won.

We did win another way: we gained necessary understanding of the requirements and resources needed to help our host, Geeks Who Drink, to manage their pub trivia management application.

At the beginning of any good project, there is some chaos and a lot of creativity. We are excited to move forward and have Junchao and Anwar more involve in software modifications as we progress.

Projects - Anwar + Junchao help

Noventum has been helping a nonprofit in Albuquerque build an app managing city homelessness. The app enables access of large data sets from any device, anywhere and anytime.

Junchao and Anwar are starting to build new fields in forms, expanding the application with extra features while working on the maintenance.

"How could I help a homeless person find a home?"

was the question we asked when we started this project. Now we are in the 4th phase of development!

Do you know any nonprofits who are looking for more effective, time-saving solutions? Please feel free to spread the word. We are just an email away!

Projects - Jeanne + Junchao sense

Shining Sun Aromatherapy offers a world full of therapeutic "tree essences for healing body, mind and spirit."

Transmitting sensation through this website to the users is one of Jeanne and Junchao's challenges - helping people fall in love with aromatherapy.

And I am proud to say they were successful! We integrated designs from Magical Marketing and launched their new site. You feel the purity and tranquility immediately as you visit the website.

Now Junchao is working on further merging developments for Shining Sun Aromatherapy, solving incompatibility issues while preserving essential data.

Projects - Jeanne + Anwar redesign

Because a small change can create a big difference!

Black Swan Editions is a Santa Fe-based Art Books & Art Prints business, run by husband and wife team Steven E. Counsell and Hope Reed.

While working on the project, Jeanne and Anwar figured out a simple and clean design that would perfectly match Black Swan Editions' sophisticated content, while adding a new Shop page to generate more sales on art books and art prints.

The criteria also included ease of editing for our client, so we implemented the Beaver Builder Editor throughout the site. With this new tool, Steven and Hope now find it much easier to edit their page.

Can you see the changes Jeanne and Anwar have made for Black Swan Editions?

Anwar has also implemented Jeanne's site redesigns for Kurt Davis's blog, and keeps providing excellent maintenance on Noventum's internal Linux servers.

Kurt's exciting blog is going to launch soon!

Are you a true Marvel fan?

Remember that pub quiz? My team and I watch a lot of Marvel movies, but we still came in 50th out of 50 entries .

And now it's your turn! Can you name all these songs, and which Marvel movie they come from?
