.BIZ Tools 1.0 customers login HERE

              

The older version of this site which was artful and appealing for a time has been taken down to prepare for a new phase in what I want to do with activeCommunity.


One of my
primary clients, LimelightMusic.com will be launching soon and this site will be updated after it's launch, with a new interface for activeCommunity to follow shortly after.


.BIZ Tools™ 1.0 is being offered in Version 2.0 now also, as it was developed previously over a period of time when
the focus was on ease of use for clients who need to update their product catalogs without complicated editing software, some of which is nearly impossible for even intermediate users to edit eCommerce websites with, especially when it came to a Flash site.


The biggest successes of .BIZ Tools 1.0 were TheChipRoom.com in the management of it's lucrative product catalog and MexicoCaribbean.Net in the management of it's property lots off Costa Maya in Mexico.  I expect
TheChipRoom.com to go on being successful as it has shown no signs of slowing down.  MexicoCaribbean.Net has been updated with a muti-lingual interface.  Both clients can attest to the quality of the workmanship of activeCommunity.


.BIZ Tools 2.0, is being built with scalability for future growth of our clients by using peer XML Web Services and contingency plans in place for spikes in growth.  Version 1.0 was built using several imaging components, programming of XML structures and feeds, and PayPal IPN.  Version 2.0 has been built with additional components, including those found in Authorize.Net, licensed SDKs, the Flash ActionScript Framework & soon the ILOG Elixir scientific & 3D graphic modules for FLEX 3.0


Something worthy of note, is
LimelightMusic.com.  They specialize in the highest quality Taylor, Gibson and Fender guitars and amps.  It is a beautiful music store that integrates with the community well; providing lessons for kids from local schools, a small friendly staff.  It's a pleasure to see the kids walk in and out of the store on some days — little Mozarts in the making.  This is the way a real store front should be (what they call a brick and mortar store), and I doubt any web store-front can replace that.  Instead, a store like Limelight Music, can compliment it's local sales with an easy to use eCommerce solution, and CART Web Service is that solution.


Other sites we manage, such as AudioInfusion.com, are also benefitting from our CONTENT Web Service to provide Updates on its home page when necessary.  CONTENT Web Service does a lot more than just update content, however.  CONTENT Web Service is being integrated with Robert Thompson's SmartFolders
technology (formerly under Object Productivity, Inc. where he had invented SmartFolders long before other companies began using the name) to include advanced IT workflow and Business Process modeling with XML Schema support.


In this business of ours,
Quality is Paramount!  As Steve Jobs of Apple says of some competetors like Microsoft, "I don't have a problem with their success, but I have a real problem with the poor quality of the software they produce."


That's why activeCommunity is very selective about the clients we choose to service and why we have a process in-place, based on principle that allows our clients to first describe the functionality they want, and then quickly determine the look and feel they want, and complete work items in an "agile" way with the real data they will use when the site launches (one of the worst errors a web programmer can make is to work with transient data; one must work with the real data that will be used on site launch for it to work in the real world wide web).


As the great innovators at RED.com say, "We reserve the right to refuse service to anyone with a bad attitude" LOL. We spell this out very clearly in our Terms of Service and Contracts: dishonesty and frenzied pushy people who do not cooperate in helping us help themselves, is not tolerated here.  But Quality is very much encouraged.  We are in the New Media business to produce quality solutions & dramatic productions.
