Thanks to Joomla Community Netherlands for this helpful illustration!

Don’t hesitate to contact JenTekk Web Solutions if you are considering upgrading your existing Joomla website, or have any questions.

I’d like to take this moment to wish all my dear clients and their loved ones a very Merry Christmas! May it be full of love, laughter and wonderful memories.

May the new year bring you continued success, realized dreams, vibrant health and abundant prosperity – Happy New Year everyone!

Mutual respect has already been established making the trust factor hurdle a non-issue. Additionally, knowing my client’s personality, priorities and passions make it easier when deciding the direction – look & feel, and tone – of the website.

Such was the case with Colleen Beland of 2nd Chance Debt Arbitration Service.

I met Colleen at a networking event back when she was working in another area of finance. I found her vibrant, smart, trustworthy and truly kind, we hit it off right away. Colleen had all the characteristics of someone I could trust as a friend, AND with my money. I hired her financial services without a second thought.

As she planned marketing her new company 2nd Chance, Colleen asked if I would be interested in assisting her with her online presence. Not only was I interested, I was honored!

We chose to use the very popular Joomla! CMS so that Colleen could manage the site herself. The project went exactly as I’d anticipated: with much enthusiasm, passion and appreciation from both sides.

Colleen, thanks again for the opportunity to assist you with your website! I know how passionate you are about helping people out of financial debt… everyone deserves a 2nd chance!

I wish you all the best my friend!

Funded by the Vancouver Coastal Health Authority, with 7 other sponsors, Fraser Health, Interior Health, Northern Health, Provincial Health, Providence Health Care and BC Health Education, the CL’cK web site was built to connect front-line health care staff with the knowledge they need to improve outcomes for their clients.

Website Goals

To meet the goals of this Pilot Project, the CL’cK web site needed much of the content to be accessible to the public, while other more sensitive content would be viewable only to registered users.

CL’cK required an area where registered users could privately discuss their challenges including sharing images, videos and links. They needed a robust document repository system where they were also able to upload learning material.

Additional functionality included the ability for registered users to post events and web links, and where they could search and view each others private profiles in order to strengthen relationships.

Software

According to the above web site functionality needs, the following software was used:

Front End
• Joomla CMS – open source website solution
• Community Builder – for site registration & private profiles
• Kunena – private community discussion board, with additional private profile, photo and video sharing
• PhocaDownload – for all users to download documents, registered users permitted to upload document
• EventList – public event calender permitting registered users to add events

Administration:
• JM Sitemap – a sitemap generator
• Akeeba – automated website back-up software
• Jumi – for adding php, html, javascript scripts into the modules, articles, category or section descriptions

It was a pleasure to work with the CL’cK Pilot Project Team, thank you for choosing JenTekk!

I wish you all the best, and look forward to our continued relationship as the site evolves.

This meeting today however was to mark the passing of time, and acknowledge the winds of change.

We did some reflecting and agreed that Tazzu™ had been a blast!

Since that first meeting in ’07 Tazzu™ has had its share of successes – initially a vibrant growing community, networking meetings in Yaletown, Gastown and Richmond, a number of WordPress Camps, Joomla Camps, including organizing and hosting the very first Joomla Day in Canada: “Joomla Day Vancouver”.

The Tazzu™ community grew from an initial small handful of local acquaintances in 2006 to a vibrant group with members hailing from around the globe.

Some say that all good things must come to an end. I’m not so sure this is true, but what I do know is that time keeps ticking, and along with the passing of time comes change.

SO… it is with mixed emotions that Rastin and I announce the legal dissolution of Tazzu™ Networking Ltd.

With Rastin living downtown and myself moving out to Langley, and both of us being very busy with our Companies we have had very little time to grow and nurture Tazzu™ the way we should.

For me, dissolving Tazzu™ means that my connections will no longer be through the entity Tazzu™ or Tazzu™ website, but be maintained other ways: email, phone, skype and through the obvious popular social networking sites (FB, Twitter, LinkedIn) which have served to retain many of my newly formed friendships and connections while the Tazzu site was down.

JenTekk Web Solutions has retained ownership of the Tazzu™ Trademark and 2 domain names (tazzu.ca / tazzu.com) and is considering reinventing Tazzu down the road!

In closing, Rastin and I would like to thank all our wonderful friends for your contribution to the Tazzu™ community, your support and most importantly your friendship!

It was a great party while it lasted. We both look forward to keeping in touch with you to continue our friendships!
