Hilliard Davidson High School Drama Boosters launched the Davidson Theatre website with a different web hosting firm several years ago. The site design was old and clunky in appearance and was lacking a couple features that they were looking for in a website - so, they were looking to re-design the site. proVanceTek worked with Davidson Theatre to design a site similar in color scheme and layout, but with a slightly more modern feel.

Before re-designing the site, proVanceTek successfully migrated the website SQL database to the proVanceTek web server preserving all data. After the site had successfully been migrated to its new home, proVanceTek proceeded to create a new Drupal theme for the website. The new theme was released earlier today and Davidson Theatre faculty are once again happy customers!

Up 'til Dawn is a student-led, student-run program hosted by colleges and universities nation-wide. Up 'til Dawn unites faculty, staff, students, the surrounding community and sponsors in a goal to help the kids of St. Jude Children's Research Hospital. Currently over 75 college campuses participate in this program - East Carolina University is one of those colleges.

proVanceTek is proud to be hosting the East Carolina University Up 'til Dawn website and plans to provide further web development in the near future for online registration for events, online corporate donations, and much more!

Early January 2008 proVanceTek was enlisted to create the new Stephen Alexander Kemp website. We're also hosting the site and email on out servers. We ported an open source theme called Darkened from http://freecsstemplates.org/. We made some modifications per Stephen Kemp's request.

The site is using a content management system called Drupal. proVanceTek uses Drupal as their content management system of choice. Drupal is easily configurable and provides proVanceTek clients with an easy-to-use graphical interface. With a special module installed, we can provide WYSIWYG editor that allows our customers the ability to edit their content using a Microsoft Word like editor.

The concept of this website was thought of a number of years ago, way before the The Million Dollar Homepage. The idea now is to replicate the success of the The Million Dollar Homepage only on a much smaller scale.

The idea is that Robert wants to purchase a professional camcorder and is encouraging his friends and family to sponsor, or get their employers to sponsor an advertising block on the website. The block will include an image of the purchaser's choice and link to a website of the purchaser's choice.

After leaving his previous three year business venture this past fall, several of Robert's clients decided that they wanted to follow him to his new destination, proVanceTek. This was also the case with Plain City Auction.

December 2007 Plain City Auction migrated hosting services to proVanceTek after proVanceTek had completed porting the existing Plain City Auction XML based website to the Drupal content management system. proVanceTek created a couple custom Drupal features for Plain City Auction's use on their website.

On December 2, 2007, Jessica Grové and a score of Broadway and local Ohio performers held a benefit concert at Hilliard Davidson High School in Hilliard, Ohio to kick off the Hilliard Education Foundation's Jessica Grové Fund for the Performing Arts.

Sound amplification for the thousand seat auditorium included four vocalist, a children's choir, a grand piano, an acoustic bass, an acoustic-electric guitar, and an emcee, in addition to a three channel on-stage monitor mix for the performers.
