Here is our latest web development portfolio with a glimpse of what DivergingSoul can offer their clients and examples of some sites and blogs we’ve developed over the past year!
As a technology consulting company we like to stay fresh with the latest trends and practices. The month of April kept us on our toes. With Apple vs. Adobe, HTML5, and the introduction of Open Graph we have been busy keeping a step ahead. Things are moving fast especially in the web development arena.
Facebook’s Open Graph protocol looks like a valuable tool for any business and their web marketing campaign. We will be integrating DivergingSoul and it’s network of websites into the social graph in the upcoming months and will be using this blog and site as a testing ground. So if you like us, and want to prove it, hit the like button below.
We are pleased to announce there are some new developments within our digital sign network. The most notable change is that we now have a content management system for our clients to update their sign on their own. In the past we had simple ways of allowing vendors on the DS2 Network to make updates to their displays. Unfortunately these previous updating methods were clunky and did not give our clients direct access to their content. With DS2′s new content management system client’s can completely manage all of their content by adding and removing advertisements, setting ads to run for specific lengths of time, changing the order in which the ads appear and much more. This new content management system is web based and can be accessed from any computer through a secure login system. The DS2 content management system is very easy to use and gives clients the ability to update multiple display with a few simple clicks.
DivergingSoul is proud to be a full service digital sign solution providing everything from installation to production and content management. To learn more about joining the DS2 network and adding digital signage to your business please visit www.ds2network.com.
A few weeks ago we helped Perfect Parties, an event planning company based in Peabody,MA, get some video and photos of their event in Boston. The event featured the installation of an artificial ice rink on the Rose Kennedy Greenway. DivergingSoul was on hand to video tape the installation from start to finish. We also took some great photos of the rink being set up in an urban setting. Check out our Facebook page to see some photos of the event. If you need a videographer or photographer for your event or project please contact us at info@divergingsoul.com. DivergingSoul Media Production is based just outside of Boston in Peabody, MA
Recently DivergingSoul finished a video for Holden Oil in Peabody,MA. The footage was compiled over the past year and we used an old audio commercial that Holden’s had made for the audio track. Holden Oil will be using their new video on their website and also on their digital sign which is also managed by DivergingSoul (DS2 Digital Sign Network) .
Video Production is a service that DivergingSoul Media Production was built around.

Last week DivergingSoul helped Champion’s Catering (www.championscatering.com) in Peabody, MA design their new website. Champion’s was looking for a simple web site to drive their online business and display their services. We used elements of flash at the bottom of the home page by creating a “grill” like video loop to accent the home page design. Some other features include an imbedded news blog and calendar so the Champion’s Team can keep their availability up to date online and also keep their patrons informed of their latest news and events. DivergingSoul also helped Champion’s redesign their logo which is displayed prominently at the top of their website. Behind the scenes we used DivergingSoul’s custom SEO (search engine optimization) formula to improve Champion’s Catering organic results in search engine queries. If you are looking to re-design your website or improve your current website’s search engine performance, contact DivergingSoul today! We work with individuals and business throughout the North Shore and Boston Area and will be happy to help your site improve it’s online presence. Visit us at www.divergingsoul.com

It is always nice to hear our clients say that our work has enriched and benefited their business. Recently two of our clients, GraVoc Associates and Mike & Co Contractors, informed us of the positive results they are seeing with the SEO services we provided them.
Dan Vassallo of GraVoc has been actively blogging on the Gravoc site, www.gravoc.com , for the past year and noted the success of GraVoc’s website since DivergingSoul re-designed it in the fall of 2008.
Dan writes: “In November 2008, we started working with DivergingSoul on a project to increase our web presence and search engine optimization. We had previously worked with DivergingSoul on several projects, including a redesign of www.gravoc.com. We were happy with the site, but what good is a quality website if nobody knows about it, nobody can interact with it, and nobody can find it while searching the Internet? Printing the address on our business cards wasn’t getting the job done.
The part of the project I have worked the most closely with DivergingSoul with has been the launch of the GraVoc News Blog. After setting up an account for us, DivergingSoul gave me instructions on how to leverage the blog as a way to gain more hits on search engines. While I was skeptical at first when I began to write, they were right: A search for our company returns over four times as many hits as it did only six months ago, so DivergingSoul was right about how blogging can enhance a company’s web presence.
The blog is a more dynamic way for me to demonstrate GraVoc’s knowledge and responsiveness to issues that are facing our customers and potential customers. Our blog helps us show that we are a diligent and capable service provider instead of telling and hoping people take our word for it. With the direct feed from the blog to the web site, people are reading the content we have to offer. Within the last month alone, I have heard kind words about the blog’s content from a loyal customer, a potential vendor, and even a competitor. This is tremendous news, as the people who actually contact you about your writing are a very small minority of the number of people who read it. If this large pool of readers deems the content valuable, it gives them a compelling reason to visit GraVoc.com regularly and to keep GraVoc on the forefront of their consciousness.
While many companies have established corporate blogs just to abandon them because of the minor time commitment, we have stuck to it as a result of the persistence and guidance provided by the folks at DivergingSoul. DivergingSoul’s efforts to improve our SEO by encouraging us to maintain our blog have resulted in our ability to create a subtle, non-intrusive, but valuable marketing tool. DivergingSoul helped us turn what other companies consider a burden into a real asset.”
Mike Pace, owner of Mike & Co. Construction, also noted that he has seen increased business since the launch of his web site, www.buildwithboss.com, in June 2009. Mike said, “I did not think I would see results so quickly from my web site. People are finding me from all over the globe including, of all places, Switzerland. My customer’s feedback has been that my new web site looks very professional and is very easy to navigate. Working with DivergingSoul to bring my web site to life was a great experience and beneficial to the future of my business.”
DivergingSoul will continue to provide it’s customers in Peabody, Boston, Massachusetts and beyond with high quality web and media products at prices they can afford. If you are looking to increase traffic to your web site, contact DivergingSoul today by visiting www.divergingsoul.com
