“The Boss” has mandated some structural changes for 3C Studio, including bringing an Associate on board… this new addition ’starts’ July 1, so the family doctor tells us. ;-)

Yes, it’s true… 3C Studio is growing — in more ways than one. Growth often necessitates change… in this case, fittingly, 3 Changes:

As of January 1, 2008…

  1. site:
    OUT — www.3cstudio.com… It’s showing age (2001!) and it is no longer able to limp by and give accurate info about 3C Studio and its features/offerings available. The “cobbler needs to give his kids some new shoes too…”
    IN — more of the development side of website design (making more than just ‘pretty’ web pages), as the web continues to evolve in this era of Web 2.0. This includes features such as: advanced site stats, website control panels, e-mail e-blast services, personalized blog installations, and other interactive features (including e-commerce options and project management collaborative ‘hubs’) to be offered in the near future via a ‘new’ www.3cstudio.com.
  2. rate:
    OUT — the 3C billing structure, which is just as old as the 3C website. The separate billing rates for non-profits and for-profits, combined with split rates for project management and design & development, will no longer create 4 different rates.
    IN — two flat rates:
    $50/hr. non-profit;
    $75/hr. for-profit
  3. talk:
    OUT — this blog as a main form of communicating with clients… this is the last mass-communication via this blog from 3C Studio. Some items will still go through this blog, including alerts/updates. I suggest (if you want to keep tabs on the latest entries) subscribing to its RSS feed (see the RSS icon at the end of this paragraph). For more on RSS feeds and their benefits, go to: www.whatisrss.com. RSS icon
    IN — better communications using the 3C CreateSend e-blast setup. Basically, you as a client of 3C Studio will receive an occasional e-news bulletin from me instead of a general mass email which informs you over blog entries such as this one… CreateSend includes the option to quickly and safely unsubscribe from those e-news bulletins at any time.

So, to recap: presentation, billing, and info exchange changes are afoot at 3C Studio. As always, if this news spurs questions or comments, do not hesitate to contact me. I welcome a chance to discuss these changes with each of you.

Happy Holidays to you all during this special time of year.
