Jason Syzdek is now the CEO of One Blink Media. Although both companies are under separate management we will be working closely together to provide outstanding, innovative, and comprehensive products and services covering both business and marketing solutions.

These changes are a result of a recent growth within the company. Jaymunda (www.jaymunda.com) has become two separate companies – Jaymunda which is still in charge of the Website Design, SEO and technology-related matters, and One Blink Media (www.oneblinkmedia.com) which is in charge of Social Media and more online-marketing related activity.

I, James Pressey, am very excited about the acquisition of Jaymunda and intent to continue the level of service and responsiveness provided by Jason. In addition it is my intention to use my engineering project development and management to help improve Jaymunda’s processes and allow Jaymunda to continue to grow in both the Website and business application with an unprecedented level of professionalism.

My background includes 23 years in the Telecommunication Industry and my last position was as a Chief Engineer at Lockheed Martin. My areas of expertise are focused on of both hardware and software development and involvement in the entire project life cycle in both large and small development programs and projects, which included the following:

• Bid, proposal, cost, and schedule development
• Hardware and software system architecture development
• Risk Management
• Design and development activities and management
• Transition, Test, planning, procedure development, and execution

Our intention is to use this experience to enhance the design process to develop highly effective websites that integrate information, marketing, and business processes in a professional manner. It is our first objective to maintain, in fact exceed the quality and level of service that you received from Jason. We have a very similar approach to determining and providing solutions as well as our desire to help you succeed in your endeavors.

As these changes are taking place as we speak, we would like to invite you to make contact as soon as possible if there is any delays or concerns during this process. We will be doing our best to ensure that the transition goes as smoothly as possible so do not hesitate to contact either myself or Jason.

As to the future we are excited to move the company into the next era of technology with well designed, effective solutions that will not only enhance your Web presence but integrate into your business processes. We will be embracing a wide range of technologies from mobile, tablet and desk top systems (including iPhone and iPad applications)

We appreciate your business and looking forward working with you.

Sincerely,

James Pressey

Social Media sites like Facebook, Twitter, MySpace, LinkedIn and others also account for 11 percent of all worldwide Internet usage. Statistics like these are why Online Marketing expert Jaymunda has expanded its Social Media Marketing programs and has hired a Social Media Specialist, Fiora Lizak.

Ms. Lizak comes to Jaymunda with a wealth of media, sales and marketing experience. She spent the past three years in the External Affairs division of the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). Among the list of other national and international companies she has worked for are GE Lighting, Norwalk Furniture and ITT Teves Brake Systems.

Ms. Lizak coordinated internal and external messaging for disaster response and recovery efforts for hurricanes, floods, wildfires and other natural disasters. She will head up Jaymunda’s team of Social Media professionals with a goal of providing a seamless communication link between clients and their customers.

Jaymunda and its CEO Jason Syzdek know that while people are updating their Facebook and Twitter accounts, they are a captive audience for the services and products that their clients have to offer.

“Social Media has progressed from an avenue of entertainment to a means of keeping customers and potential customers better informed,” says Syzdek. “When you consider that 91 percent of all Social Media users access their accounts from a mobile device like a cell phone or laptop, it emphasizes the importance of communicating with them while they are on the move.”

Jaymunda gives you the ability to interface with your customers instantly through a variety of Social Media programs. Jaymunda also handles every aspect of your Social Media Marketing program so you can concentrate on your own business.

“Jaymunda has been integral in helping us get up to speed with Twitter,” says Dr. Patty Champion of Champion Eye Center in Asheville, N.C. “We can now communicate important announcements quicker than ever with this great tool that Jaymunda helps us manage.”

Absolutely Not. Don’t believe the hype.

Remember when you switched to FireFox because you thought it would be faster and safer? Remember how, shortly thereafter, all these websites didn’t function correctly? (And many of you blamed the websites for being wrong! No one ASKED you to install the thing.) Internet Explorer is the web standard. 75% of users are using Internet Explorer. Therefore, more websites are going to be compatible with the standard than with anything else. Doesn’t that make some sense?

It’s like buying a toaster in Europe with a European plug built into it, then flying to USA only to find that you can’t plug it into our outlets… THEN getting upset with America for having the wrong outlets. Seriously.

Internet Explorer (IE) is plenty secure, plenty fast, yadda yadda. Give your web designer a break. If people would stop coming up with new ways to make our jobs harder, we might have a fighting chance at making a better product that adheres to those, heaven forbid, standards.

Honestly, the USER is the biggest security hole in the entire thing. If people would just STOP CLICKING on things that say “Would you like to download this virus?” or stop responding to SPAM, most of the problem would be solved. We act as if Spammers are the problem, but it’s the morons that give them their money that encourage it to continue.

Seriously.

I am thrilled to have joined the Jaymunda team to help clients navigate the fascinating world of Social Media Marketing. The integrity is see in Jaymunda consists of solid expertise, commitment, and creativity that makes them stand out in the world of web technology. 

My mission is to educate you in the efficient use tools such as Facebook, Twitter, and Linked-In, to express your individuality, give roots to the ideas you have simmering in your mind, so that you meet or exceed your goals.  Social Media gives you opportunities to connect in ways never before available.  Let me help you make use of this opportunity.

As I look forward to my first grandbaby, you may find me hiking the beautiful trails around North Carolina. Or we may run into each other in an art class, as I enjoy charcoal and collage.  You will certainly see me around town in unusual positions, trying to capture just the right angle for a perfect photograph. Or I may come up to you and ask if you’d like to be on URTV- our community network.  I also love to cook.   I look forward to meeting you.

How about if, when you awoke every morning, your world looked just like it did while you were asleep – pitch black?

For most of us, when we want to find out the latest news or do some online shopping, we simply open up our favorite Internet browser and sit back and relax.

The Internet drives our businesses and our personal lives by providing instant information at the touch of a key. What if you didn’t have the luxury of being able to see all of the content on your favorite website, though? What if you were visually impaired, and shopping for a new outfit on the Internet wasn’t as easy as clicking and looking?

Thanks to a national movement called the Web Accessibility Initiative (WAI), the 54 million Americans who are disabled will have more of a chance to use the Internet just like the rest of us.

The WAI is a part of the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) and works in an effort to promote website accessibility worldwide. The WAI and the W3C work with disability organizations, government agencies and other key members to monitor website accessibility.

What does this mean to you and your business?

1. It means that in the very near future, the W3C will require that all commercial websites comply with WAI accessibility standards. You can visit http://www.w3.org/WAI/eval/Overview.html to learn more about whether your website features potential accessibility problems.
2. Google and other search engines favor websites that comply with these standards. If your site is not in compliance, you are likely to get less than favorable results in the search engines!

The experts at Jaymunda will help to ensure that your website is WAI accessible. Whether your website needs accessibility assistance in captioned audio files, supplemental graphics or alternative text, Jaymunda has the expertise to help.

Why wait until the W3C requires that websites meet minimum accessibility standards before you act? There are 54 million Americans who deserve the chance to see what your company has to offer.

We just installed a theme that converts our full, regular website to a simplified, mobile version.

Try it:

From your mobile phone’s internet browser, go to www.jaymunda.com.

Why it works:

We are using WordPress as the engine to power our entire website from static pages to blog content and more. We adoped WP earlier this year as the platform for most of the sites we build because it’s so easy to use. It also makes for some simple, cost-effective upgrades through its vast library of plugins.

(Even Cooler:)

If I get a brainstorm while I’m driving to my next appointment, I can pull over, pull out my mobile phone and write a blog post right from my phone. Talk about streamlined workflow! 

I can help you get your website mobile.

Jaymunda has built its reputation on the principle that it fills that forgotten niche of small, growing businesses that really need high quality web design in addition to a marketing partner that takes the time to listen to their unique needs.

The most effective way Jaymunda has been able to tell its story is by not really saying a word. Jaymunda has grown mainly because 71.8 percent of its business is secured by word of mouth advertising from satisfied clients.

“Web design in Asheville has traditionally been about creating just one website after another. We wanted to be different by leading the web design field with our focus on Marketing and it is the cornerstone of our business,” relates Jason Syzdek, President of Jaymunda, Inc.

Jaymunda isn’t the least expensive web design company around, but Syzdek believes that with something as vital as online Marketing, a company gets what it pays for. On the other hand, Jaymunda’s pricing is also much more affordable than many companies that offer custom web design at exorbitant prices.

Jaymunda doesn’t believe in pre-fabricated website templates and there is definitely no cookie-cutter approach to its site design. The Jaymunda team of professional designers, writers and programmers makes sure that they know the unique aspects of a company before they design its website and implement Marketing strategies that will build traffic and increase brand recognition.

The Jaymunda team recently collaborated with Champion Eye Center in Western North Carolina to build a cutting-edge website, publish Online Press Releases and implement telephone on-hold messaging. This foundation created an integrated Internet presence that helped boost revenues by more than 25% in Champion’s first year with Jaymunda.

Mark Hinton, CEO of eYeFacilitate, hired Jaymunda to create his company’s website and online Marketing strategies. As a result of Jaymunda’s Marketing efforts, a prospective client in Kentucky contacted Hinton to say that he was interested in discussing working together. With this client alone, Hinton closed $30,000 in business, which is a huge return on investment.

Within the wide range of satisfied Jaymunda clients are the Episcopal Diocese of Western North Carolina, Reality Based Management, Four Star Insurance Group, Optix Eye Care and the John N. Gardner Institute.

Dr. Cress allows the Champion Eye Center family to expand its services and hours, making it even more convenient for patients. Starting in November, Champion’s south office – located at 300 Julian Lane in Arden – will start seeing patients on Saturday by appointment.

“We are very excited about Dr. Cress joining our eye care family,” Dr. Andy Champion says. “He is a graduate of Southern College of Optometry and he brings a great deal of clinical experience in pediatric and adult primary care, vision therapy and ocular disease. Our growth is designed with one goal in mind – to better meet the needs of our patients.”

Drs. Andy and Patty Champion began practicing optometry in Asheville in 1995 and opened eye care centers in Asheville and Sylva in 1997. They realized the need for professional eye care services in South Asheville, so they opened the Arden office in 2006 to meet the optometric needs of patients on the south side of the city.

Dr. Cress said that joining the Champion Eye Center family is the culmination of a lifelong dream.

“Drs. Andy and Patty Champion have built their eye care practice the right way, by treating their patients like family members,” explains Dr. Cress.

Champion Eye Center is the exclusive carrier of Chanel frames for all of Western North Carolina. Champion also carries fashionable frames for all styles from Giorgio Armani, Calvin Klein, Burberry, Polo Ralph Lauren, Ray-Ban and Vera Wang.

Champion Eye Center is also the only eye care outlet that features Varilux Ipseo progressive lenses. These cutting-edge Ipseo lenses are the only progressive lenses on the market that can be personalized to meet the unique visual behavior of each patient.

Dr. Cress’s extensive knowledge of contact lenses allows Champion Eye Center to treat even more patients who need multifocal or specialty lenses. Dr. Cress also brings with him a comprehensive background of preventive eye maintenance. Over the past 18 months, Dr. Cress performed clinical work in ocular disease treatment and management of glaucoma, corneal disease and macular degeneration.
