Headstand Media received a nice boost today on Ruth Ratney’s REEL CHICAGO website (Thank You!). The article entitled “Videos give “average Joes” basic web knowledge - Headstand Media boutique produces terminology Vblogs“ was written by Chris Shogren-Thompson based upon interviews with Benjamin Nelson, Headstand’s Creative Director, and background research. The article focuses on Headstand Media’s recent soft launch of WebSmart TV, a vlog site that delivers a series of videos that explain the basics of the web in about a minute, to average business people.
We did ask REEL how they found out about WebSmart TV, and the best we can tell, it had to do with some online searching using keywords such as: chicago and video. Seems like our SEO knowledge may have helped a bit here!
I would just like to clarify a point mentioned in the article regarding McDonald’s (This clarification has since been corrected on the ReelChicago.com website).
Headstand Media does not design and maintain 200 of McDonald’s internal websites as the article reports. To date, Headstand Media has worked on, designed or re-designed about 20 of those 200+ internal sites and we are being asked to work on more of them every month that passes. However Headstand Media did design, produce and still helps to maintain McDonald’s public corporate website called About McDonald’s (http://www.aboutmcdonalds.com). If you’ve never visited it, you should check it out. There are lot’s of good stories about McDonald’s that we bet you never knew linked right on the home page, and the company historical timeline is a lot of fun to explore.
This site was designed and developed by Headstand Media in Day Software’s enterprise web content management system called Communique. The most recent version (v5.3) is referred to in the industry as CQ5. Headstand Media and STA Group are Day Software professional partners and intimately familiar with the underlying open source technologies, tools and frameworks it is built upon.
It should also be noted that if you “Google” the terms “CQ5 design” or “CQ5 development” you will find Headstand Media as a top result… worldwide (Please note that Day Software is an international firm headquartered in Basel, Switzerland)! That’s because Headstand Media also knows what they are doing when it comes to SEO (search engine optimization).
