Bloggers and web pros alike are buzzing about this open source endeavor called Buddypress. Buddypress is an add on to your WordPress MU (multi-user) install that adds a dynamic, extensible, and robust social networking aspect to your site. You can have user profiles, feeds, commenting and many of the other fun goodies that come along with a social media site. I can see this as being a very powerful tool for small groups and associations who want to keep in touch online. For now Buddypress is still in Beta but it is already a powerful tool in use by some very interesting groups. I am excited to see where it will go and how I can use it in future projects.

Here is a video of Andy Peatling- the leader of Buddypress giving a presentation of Buddypress in action:

We are proud to announce the launch of a job in the works for quite a few months.  Stylistic Funk is a hip purveyor of urban fashion, art and music and we worked together with the talented designers at Artjocks in LA to develop this website and integrate it into the Genus online business solution.  The end product is a a great online store with all the bells and whistles!  Browse through the catalogs at http://stylisticfunk.com you may just find something you like!

We have redesigned and relaunched http://katiesweddings.com with an all new design and concept.  Instead of just being a plain portfolio site we added a bit more character with blog posts and sidebar functionality.  All of this with a new portfolio system!  The whole site can be managed by the photographer without any need for a web developer.

We were commissioned by talented LA Upright Bass Player Miles Mosley to develop a feature rich custom WordPress theme that helps engage his fan base.  We built in a truck load of custom features that help him update the website in a more simple and efficient way without having to hire out for updates.  This project was a great example highlighting the power and flexibility of WordPress as a content management system.  Take a look

We are very excited about the launch of http://bbsdistribution.com !  BBS is a skate company based in San Diego, CA with some really great designs.  This is another successful Genus integration! The site has a full store with credit card processing and UPS integration.  Click Here and take a look.
