Robert Vance, proVanceTek founder, graduated from Ohio University with a BS in Telecommunications and a minor in Technical Theatre. While attending undergraduate school he was employed by Ohio University Telecommunications Center (WOUB - PBS) which services Southern, South Eastern, and Eastern Ohio with two television stations and six radio stations.

Through college, Robert freelanced a number of high-profile projects in the Columbus area. He assisted a handful of touring musicals with sound engineering, was sound designer and engineer for a local performance of Carmina Burana and a couple local High School's musicals, and was sound designer and engineer for a local performance by Mickey Rooney (The Wizard of Oz). He has also continued to do similar work since.

During Robert's last year at Ohio University, he also completed an internship at WBNS10TV in Columbus, Ohio in their production and operations departments. Robert was in studio, control room, engineering, and remote microwave trucks. He received academic credit from Ohio University for his completion of the program at WBNS.

Knowing that these days time and money are short for everyone, we realized that we could save both ourselves and our potential clients a great deal of time by providing an online resource to some pretty basic and common website design and hosting packages we've provided previous clients. This saves us the time of creating an new individual quotation for each potential client, and save you the time of having to wait for a reply from us, even if until later the same day, as to what ballpark price your project might cost you.

We've found that there have been a considerable amount of quotations we've generated for leads that we've pursued that were virtually the exact same project. That's a lot of time wasted recreating paperwork that we've already generated once, twice, or several times before. After some brief studying, we discovered that most of these clients would have even preferred to have been able to simply go to our website and browse a simple, side-by-side pricing sheet. They're needs weren't soo customized that they needed us to create them a specific quote for their project.

In response to the desires of clients who are more internet savvy and fast browsing as ever, we have, with great thought, decided to finally release an online resource for web development pricing. We've provided a list of some pretty common website packages that our customers have desired in the past. We list the pricing, what's included, a projected turn around time, and even a PayPal link for you to go ahead and get things started by making your deposit payment right away!

Drupal is a completely free, open source content management system that many intelligent companies are using today to provide for their needs. Drupal's many features and add-ons allow it to be used for a variety of website needs; perhaps for marketing, internal communications, informational websites, or for social networking purposes.

Drupal is what's called a "web content management system". That is, a system used to manage and control a large, dynamic collection of web material (HTML documents and their associated images); facilitating content creation, content control, editing, and many essential web maintenance functions. Unlike website builders like Microsoft FrontPage or Adobe Dreamweaver. A CMS typically requires an experienced coder to set up and add features, but allows non-technical users to make changes to an existing website with little or no training.

Thousands of people and organizations are using Drupal to power scores of different web sites. Take for example, large corporations use Drupal - like Yahoo, Sony, Warner Bros, Universal Studios, Fox, Lifetime, The New York Observer, and more.

proVanceTek has chosen to use Drupal exclusively for all of our CMS based websites for a number of reasons. Some of these reasons include the following:

• Drupal is open source, therefore, unlike similar commercial software, it doesn't cost any money to use the software. We can pass this savings off to our clients.
• Drupal's easy user interface and abundant feature list means it takes little effort to get lots done efficiently.
• Drupal provides for all your content needs, including information, images, podcasts, blogs, video, events and calendars, polls, collaborative work, forums, etc.
• We've developed a

Overall, Drupal is a good choice for today's companies of any size because it is free, easy, and incredibly flexible.

proVanceTek is currently working on designing a website targeted for East Carolina Students who are seeking off-campus housing. The feature rich website will list apartment complexes in Greenville, NC and suburbs and will allow interaction between property management, current tenants, and potential tenants. Landlords will have the ability to edit content about their properties, tenants will be able to rate the properties, and potential tenants will be able to browse listings and post questions.

Apartment listings are planned to include photos and videos of properties, links to management websites, management contact information, leasing rates, amenities, five star ratings voted by the website's users, and more.

The student oriented website will be advertised on the ECU campus, through the local media, and online. Plans for a January 1, 2008 launch seem to be on schedule and timely as students begin to search for their housing for the 2009-2010 school year.

East Carolina University Up 'til Dawn unveiled their sponsor board at their annual 2008 Letter Sending Campaign and proVanceTek appeared as one of the featured sponsors on the board.

proVanceTek has been providing Up 'til Dawn extensive marketing support for their efforts in raising money for St. Jude Children's Research Hospital in Memphis, TN. Last year the group raised about $50k for the hospital and this year they hope to do better despite the poor economic situation our country is in right now.

proVanceTek has provided cost-free web hosting, design, and development for the group, making use of the Drupal Content Management System. We've also provided cost-free full-color high-gloss print marketing for the groups various projects.

just launched the new Ohio Educational Theatre Association website. In May, the state board unanimously voted to hire us to redesign and host their new website, scheduled to be launched in August 2008.

After some delay in transferring the domain names, now September, the initial launch of the website has been released. Planning is still in progress for some of the more detailed website features. Currently, however, the website provides an online calendar and blog. We've also provided organizational email addresses for the nearly thirty state board members. Other discussions about website features have included document management, online registration forms for various needs, online ticket sales for shows and conferences, etc.

The website used to be several static HTML pages, but has since blossomed into a fully capable Drupal Content Management System based website. Using Drupal, we'll be able to provide all the aforementioned features, along with other, currently unconceived, features.

proVanceTek is proud to be hosting the East Carolina University Up 'til Dawn website and has added some new features for online registration for events, calender, photo galleries, donations, document management, and much more!

The ECU Up 'til Dawn website was a recent acquisition from proVanceTek's owner's previous venture corporation. The website was designed from one of St. Jude's sanctioned templates to incorporate the East Carolina University branding banner across the top. The St. Jude HTML template was modified and ported over to a Wordpress website installation as a Wordpress theme.

The new website is utilizing the Drupal Content Management System. The website is a large improvement over the old Wordpress based website. There are several layers of user roles that allow Up 'til Dawn Board members access to pages and files that the general public does not have the ability to access. Likewise, sponsors and volunteers have their respective roles. We've utilized out-of-the-box Drupal modules to accomplish some of the groups needs, but we've customized others as needed.

We designed a web application for Beating Myeloma, an existing proVanceTek client, that allowed them to manage their walkathon event that was a cross between the well known Race for the Cure and the St. Jude Up 'til Dawn "50 Names Fast" program.

The Second Annual Galen Foundation Walk the Walk, Talk the Talkathon took place Saturday, June 21st, 2008 from 10am to noon at the University Upper School track.

If over a hundred pledges, resulting in nearly $12,000 in donations isn't proof enough of the event's success, check out their event video on the Beating Myeloma website. Last couple years, David Emerson, founder of Beating Myeloma and the Galen Foundation, walked by himself, accepting donations from friends and family, and raised about three grand. This year, he expanded operations to include other walkers and reaped the reward of more donations than ever.

We offer a variety of services, some of which include structured media design, engineering, and installation. We created http://wiremyrental.com/ in conjunction with a direct mail campaign specifically targeted at property management companies and landlords. Our goal is to work with these individuals to improve their properties appeal to potential tenants by making sure that their properties are adequately wired for cable, telephone, internet, and in some cases more.

By creating a new website specifically for our structured media services, we accomplished several things. We now have a portal website for our business that is specifically designed to snare a particular type of customer. We have another website out there on the internet helping to improve out Google index rankings for structured media related services. We have another website in out portfolio that showcases our web related services.
