Archimedia Studios announces expanded support for mobile devices in the company’s iCMS platform. “We have seen a huge increase in demands for mobile site design. The mobile web is becoming more like the PC web, and adaptations must be made ” , says Vince Spagnolo, President of Archimedia Studios.

A recent study showed that a dramatic increase in mobile web browsing came after the launch of the iPhone in 2008. The number of Smartphone users is increasing significantly each day with mobile browsers set to outnumber desktop browsers by 2012. Platforms such as iPhone, iPad, Android,BlackBerry and other Smartphones now offer very capable browsers. As a result, a considerable number of people visiting your website will be using their mobile phones. As a business or artist, you want to make it possible to anticipate those demands, and rise to the occasion. Mobile sites do just this by creating easier ways and more opportunities to convert traffic to sales.

If your website isn’t optimized for mobile use, you could be turning away these visitors. For example, if your site uses Adobe Flash, it won’t function properly on an iPhone. If your website is too busy and contains a lot of information, the mobile user may find it very frustrating to navigate through it.

Design & Marketing Firm “Gives Back” to the community

Archimedia Studios, a leading Atlanta based design and marketing firm servicing the country music and film industries recently initiated a “Give Back” program, in order to help promote the media arts in schools that would otherwise be unable to afford them.

In addition to a number of southern schools that were chosen to participate in the Archimedia Give Back program, The Schoolhouse Learning Center, located at Dorset Farms in South Burlington, was chosen to receive $15,000 to further the development of its website and promote the mission of the school.

The main criteria for school selection for the program is for the school to truly live its mission.  Vince Spagnolo, President of Archimedia Studios,  recently had the opportunity to visit The Schoolhouse, and was delighted with what he saw.  He noticed that the joy students find in learning was evident from the moment he walked into the building.  He was impressed by the faculty and members of the Board of Directors, who all clearly live the mission of the school.  Schoolhouse dedicates itself to being student-centered, family orientated, and open to all forms of diversity.  The five-year vision of the school includes promoting, Science, Math, Technology and Sustainability.

With the new website, Schoolhouse families will be even more connected to the school.  They will be able to see their children’s work, read their daily blogs and much more.   Students will be able to enhance their skills in the media arts through “short courses” in media arts.   Through Archimedia Studios, The Schoolhouse Learning Center will also have a promotional film to use on its website and in the community.

Spagnolo observed, “when students are in a warm and inviting environment and are so happy and attentive, their likelihood of becoming lifelong learners and good citizens of the world increases tremendously.  There’s no better investment than that.”

Archimedia Studios will be donating autographed memorabilia from the Country Music world to The Schoolhouse, a K-6 school located in South Burlington, Vermont,  Fall Scholarship Fundraiser on Saturday, September 20th from 6-10pm at Shelburne Vineyard (Shelburne, Vermont).

This event, which also marks the 40th Anniversary of  The Schoolhouse, will feature  wine tasting and a silent auction!  Archimedia Studios is happy to provide autographed  memorabilia to the silent auction from it’s Country Music friends; Martina McBride, Miranda Lambert, Lady Antebellum, Kellie Pickler and Terri Clark.

The Schoolhouse,  is also a recent recipient of a $15,000 donation from Archimedia’s “Give Back” program to promote the media arts in schools across the country.

Should be a great night !
