October – December 2010
Here below you will find the schedule of Ycademy till end of 2010. Before entering into the details, let me put the program into the wider context of our development.
Context
There are a few major events ahead of us:
- The consolidation of Semiomantics: Semiomantics will become a joint team of developers, designers and representatives. For this purpose we must become fit for the task individually and as a team. Also we need to be able to present our team and those involved to the public in the most advantageous way. At present an exercise is under way at the new Evo site where Bianca offers her help to all in order to build a AAA Image of the Semiomantics team.
- The new release of YORGOO, which will be a very sophisticated Multi-Site installation with surprising capabilities: we are developing a new Semiomantics WP MS membership site which focuses on communication between a personal website, members, Google and Facebook. More about the project later.
- The further Consolidation of the personal Publishing networks: after the NewsCast aggregator we will move to a new Author Blog and then streamline the Consultant, Web design and Shop Sites.
- The recent developments in Customer demand: based on technical developments, customers become more demanding when it comes to site building and development; this concerns namely media content, interactivity, connectivity with social media and networks.
- In January, Ycademy will be delivering again a mix of basic and advanced courses. If possible, we would like to entrust those who have gone through the Ycademy educational programs with topic specific YORGOO and Ycademy calls as from February.
October Ycademy
In October we will finish up with NewsCast where not yet done and then work on the future corporate image of Semiomantics; this means for parties interested in being part of Semiomantics, to build a personal image and presentation according to semiomantics standards and guidelines. Bianca is working with you on these pages to start with on the new Semiomantics EVO site.
The Ycademy October Seminar will bring us a big step ahead in as much as our WordPress related knowledge is concerned. On the example of the new Author Blog we will become familial with new design, editing and publishing standards which will slowly but surely become standards on WordPress Blogs and CMS.
This is an extremely important Seminar for all who wish to do custom design and website development. Also, all participants will end up with a brand new Author Site built according to the highest standards and customized during the Seminar.
The last October week will be reserved to do some post-seminar work if we are not able to handle the whole curriculum during the week-end.
November
Between the 1 of November and the November Seminar, there are 20 calls. We will build 20 products in 20 calls. These will be Semiomantics products you may sell directly from your store.These products will also constitute a solid base for your portfolio. This 20 calls – 20 products will be a spectacular exercise!
To be able to work efficiently we will need to have an training site which will be provided by Ycademy – you will get a sandbox site at Ycademy net which we will set up by November for each participant.
The goal is to get better and faster and more flexible with theme customization and to experience the joy of being able to tweak any theme to customer needs. The reason for this mega exercise is in the increasing cost of site development and design as the competition gets rougher and as we need to be able to build sites with a unique look, touch and feel in useful time.
The November Seminar
The Seminar will have to deal with the consolidation of the work done in November and will culminate in building and setting up a personal portfolio, linked to the Shop, the Consultant site as well as to the Author site. The seminar will finally put the pieces and bits together to end up with a professionally looking online business.
After the seminar I expect some post-seminar sessions to take place to finalize some details.
December
December will be focused on the new YORGOO Network. A special presentation will take place shortly with a preview of what will be coming. Important: all Semiomantics Partners will be exposed in YORGOO to help new subscribers; this concerns namely configuration and customization services.
In December Ycademy Pros will become familiar with the new YORGOO Network and test it. YORGOO will be a membership program with multiple membership levels and packages.
December Seminar
The December Seminar will deal with YORGOO and we will set up participants’ websites there. This will give participants an advance of 1 month before we officially go public with YORGOO. During that time we will prepare the internal products on offer for YORGOO users.
