Christmas and New Year -- the season when we find ourselves reflecting on the year that is coming to an end and counting our blessings. At Mango Tree Media, we have been blessed with the opportunity to serve many clients in a variety of ways. For some, we designed and created beautiful new websites from scratch. For others, we redesigned existing sites with an updated look and improved functionality. We were kept quite busy with Joomla! 2.5 upgrades and we introduced a new service -- offering website backups to Amazon Cloud for additional security. 

We would like to invite our clients to our Holiday Open House on Wednesday, December 12, from 3:00 to 7:00pm.

When the weeks of preparation, content writing and revision, image collecting, and testing are complete and a new website is launched, we at Mango Tree Media are as excited as our clients! Recently, we celebrated with the staff of the Benjamin Harrison Presidential Site, who launched their newly designed website on the 4th of July!

From July 21-28 Mango Tree owner James Friesen and Graphic Designer/Manager Brian Hansen had the distinct privilege of joining a team from White River Christian Church to go to the remote northwest islands of Panama to share with them hope and joy.

Joining the team in spirit and support were several Mango Tree clients in the Carmel/Indianapolis area who donated toward sports and diving equipment that the team was able to distribute to the people there.

Mango Tree Media founder James Friesen will be one of the scheduled speakers at Joomla Day Midwest 2011 in Milwaukee, WI. James has been asked to present a workship on Joomla Template Frameworks at the Joomla Day event in November. This will be mark the first time James has been asked to speak at one of these events which bring Joomla aficionados from all around the midwest and speakers from all over the US and Europe. Check out the event schedule to see the bios of the other speakers, many of which James considers friends from interacting at previous conferences.

On the weekend of January 14-16 James and Brian headed down to the IUPUI campus in downtown Indianapolis to participate in RefreshIndy to participate in the crazy but meaningful Refresh Weekend. Participating web developers were divided into 4 groups and assigned their non-profit to work with.

We were fortunate to be paired with Anna's Celebration of Life, an Indianapolis non-profit dedicated to helping local kids with disabilities,in memory of the founder's daughter Anna.

They turned out to be a great client to work with, and we had a fun and cohesive team of 6 developers and videographers. In 48 hours we started a website from scratch and ended up with their brand new site.

Who needs sleep anyway? Mango Tree Media is proud to announce their involvement in a very worth cause in Indianapolis.

On the weekend of January 14-16 James Friesen and Brian Hansen will be joining the crew from RefreshIndy for a weekend code-a-thon. The goal? Produce a 3 full website for 3 Indianapolis-area non-profits in two days.  James will be the technical lead in his group as that site will be Joomla-based. Brian will put his video skills to good use. Should be a lot of fun and its for a worthy cause!
