Our site runs on WordPress, which isn’t a huge mystery to anyone who’s even slightly savvy with the ol’ computer. When we recently changed our domain name from mediumrarenyc.com to mediumrareinc.com, I installed the 404 Redirected plugin to manage redirects from the old site to the new, and also to capture any missed URLs from [...]
Kickstarter success!
The Heavenly Sight project was successfully funded on Kickstarter! This, of course, is great news. However, it’s an extra big deal for us because it’s the first Kickstarter campaign that we managed. In the process we gained a lot of valuable insight that we hope to be able to duplicate for other projects like this [...]

There’s really no corner of this project that isn’t thoroughly customized: modal registration forms, refined and tweaked Übercart behaviors, import/export communication with DonorPerfect, numerous levels of user roles interacting with over a dozen content [...]
RFP vs. Site Evaluation – alternatives to the Request for Proposal
Looking at alternatives to the broken RFP process We get asked to answer RFPs for projects on a semi regular basis, and occasionally will pursue a particularly good looking RFP out in the wild if we think it fits our work. Most RFPs we see, however, are really, really problematic. This post by Jonathan Wold echoes [...]
