proVanceTek recently released http://wonkatickets.com/ for Hilliard Bradley High School Theatre Department. The goal was to have a quickly launched, user-friendly website where patrons could purchase tickets. The site makes use of PayPal to process credit card transactions or patrons can even make their purchase using the available balance in their PayPal account.

In addition to the publicly available main section of the site, there's also a password protected area where staff can "sell" tickets to students for the in-school performance. This section collects the student's first name, last name, and student id and adds it to a database. From the database, the data will be exported as a CSV file for the school's attendance office for their record. We're also working on a system that will be used for admission to the in-school performance where each student's student id barcode will be scanned as they enter the performance and the data will be added to the database in context of whether or not the student who purchased a ticket actually showed up to the performance.

The owner of proVanceTek, Robert Nelson Vance, worked on this project himself. The customer needed some graphic design done for their Hilliard Idol vocal competition to be held at Hilliard Bradley High School in December 2009 - The premise was a spin off of American Idol. The job called for poster to be made that would be printed on 11"x17" posters and enlarged to 4'x6' vinyl banners to be displayed around the school and the community.

proVanceTek has a history in providing clients with top notch graphic design. We've had projects with clients including Hilliard Davidson Theatre, Hilliard City Schools, The Ohio Educational Theatre Association, East Carolina University, and Chili's Grill & Bar to name a few. Projects have ranged from direct mail materials to large scale banners such as this one.

proVanceTek just completed a wedding website project for Chris and Joellen Carpenter. The website is a elegant, simple, static HTML design. The website is media heavy, including hundreds of photos and various videos.

We also provided video production services for the client, by 1) creating a video montage from wedding photos set to licensed music and 2) taking video from two camera sources that the client provided from the wedding ceremony and cutting together a quick wedding ceremony video. The website, including the videos, was turned around within twenty four hours of the wedding so that non-local family and friends who were unable to attend could quickly have plenty of multimedia to view; much of the website and many of the photos were live within hours of the ceremony.

Regarding the website's video player technology, the client needed an inexpensive solution to include online video within the website. proVanceTek incorporated the videos into the website using the open source version of a Flash video player called Flowplayer. The solution was fast, free, and accomplished what the client wanted. The only real caveat is that free version watermarks the video when in full screen mode.

proVanceTek recently released a new spiffily designed static HTML website for Dr. Mary Nyangweso Wangila of East Carolina University. Dr. Wangila is a Religious Studies professor at the Greenville, NC located university and has been the recipient of a number of prestigious recognitions.

proVanceTek collaborated with Mary to finalize a design that achieved her needs technically and met her goals esthetically. The color scheme and layout came in the form of suggestions directly from the client and from there proVanceTek delivered a professional, slick design that continues to impress the client.

Because we receive phone calls for estimates soo frequently, we finally decided to provide online pricing for a number of common requests that we receive. In the web development section of our website, you will find pricing for student resume pages and portfolio websites, faculty vitae pages and portfolio websites, and small business homepages and content managed websites.

Robert Nelson Vance, proVanceTek owner, provided video production services at the 2009 DrupalCon held in Washington DC this week at the Walter E. Washington Convention Center. Robert recorded all the sessions in one of the six main presentation rooms for the duration of the event; that worked out to be 20 of the roughly 100 sessions at the conference. The documentation of DrupalCon sessions will be extremely beneficial to the Dupalers who were unable to make it to the conference.

Some of the videos Robert shot were uploaded to the Internet Archive within minutes of the conclusion of the presentation, the others were available online within an hour of the presentation. One of the first videos uploaded had nearly 500 downloads within the first hour it was available online.

proVanceTek is already working on arrangements to provide a more extensive DrupalCon video production solution for the upcoming DrupalCon conference. Initial plans include proVanceTek providing complete video production services for the entire conference, multi camera live-to-tape production, and directly capturing video sent to presentation room projectors from the presenters laptops. The initial plans would essentially kick up a notch the next conference's documentation from a relatively consumer DrupalCon DC to a full-blown high definition professional video production for each session presented at the next conference.

We've been working closely with the Greenville, NC Chili's Grill and Bar, East Carolina University Up 'til Dawn, and WRNS Radio on a St. Jude Children's Research Hospital fundraising event planned for 2 March 2009. The event basically entails no effort on the donor's behalf - simply show up at one of five Chili's in Eastern North Carolina on March 2nd, eat dinner as you normally would, and Chili's will donate 10% of the bill to St. Jude!

proVanceTek has been generating print media for the event to be distributed locally around Greenville in neighborhoods, at local businesses, on the campus of East Carolina University, etc. Here is one example of a flyer we designed to help promote the event.

Additionally, proVanceTek has been working with East Carolina University Up 'til Dawn on their similar, every Wednesday, events. It almost appears as if the idea was borrowed from ECU UTD, as they had been working with Chili's in Greenville on organizing their Wednesday events and had already hosted two before the WRNS event was even planned - great minds think alike! To help UTD raise money for St. Jude, simply visit their website, print their Chili's Fundraising Flyer, eat dinner as you normally would at the Greenville Chili's every Wednesday, present the flyer to your server, and Chili's will donate 10% of the bill to St. Jude!

proVanceTek LLC is tentatively planning on providing video production services at the 2009 DrupalCon held in Washington DC this March. Good videographers are needed to help document over 100 seminar sessions at the conference. We thought "hey, what better way can we give back to the Drupal community?" The documentation of these sessions will be extremely beneficial to the Dupalers who are, for one of many possible reasons, unable to attend the conference.

Drupal is a wildly popular, open source content management system that powers websites for everyone from presidential candidates to pop stars to newspapers to neighborhood community groups. It's used by thousands of individuals and organizations around the world.

DrupalCon is the official Drupal unconference that attracts the most talented open source developers and innovative web shops in the world and brings them together to share knowledge, make decisions on the future of Drupal, and get to know each other in person. It's also the premiere opportunity for Drupal users to learn what they can do with Drupal, find partners for future projects, and meet the people behind the code.

proVanceTek's tentative plans, as they are still being worked out, are to provide video taping services for one of the five rooms for all three entire days of the conference.
