Ycademy Program

Here below you will find the sched­ule of Ycad­emy till end of 2010. Before enter­ing into the details, let me put the pro­gram into the wider con­text of our development.

There are a few major events ahead of us:

1. The con­sol­i­da­tion of Semi­oman­tics: Semi­oman­tics will become a joint team of devel­op­ers, design­ers and rep­re­sen­ta­tives. For this pur­pose we must become fit for the task indi­vid­u­ally and as a team. Also we need to be able to present our team and those involved to the pub­lic in the most advan­ta­geous way. At present an exer­cise is under way at the new Evo site where Bianca offers her help to all in order to build a AAA Image of the Semi­oman­tics team.
2. The new release of YORGOO, which will be a very sophis­ti­cated Multi-Site instal­la­tion with sur­pris­ing capa­bil­i­ties: we are devel­op­ing a new Semi­oman­tics WP MS mem­ber­ship site which focuses on com­mu­ni­ca­tion between a per­sonal web­site, mem­bers, Google and Face­book. More about the project later.
3. The fur­ther Con­sol­i­da­tion of the per­sonal Pub­lish­ing net­works: after the News­Cast aggre­ga­tor we will move to a new Author Blog and then stream­line the Con­sul­tant, Web design and Shop Sites.
4. The recent devel­op­ments in Cus­tomer demand: based on tech­ni­cal devel­op­ments, cus­tomers become more demand­ing when it comes to site build­ing and devel­op­ment; this con­cerns namely media con­tent, inter­ac­tiv­ity, con­nec­tiv­ity with social media and networks.
5. In Jan­u­ary, Ycad­emy will be deliv­er­ing again a mix of basic and advanced courses. If pos­si­ble, we would like to  entrust those who have gone through the Ycad­emy edu­ca­tional pro­grams with topic spe­cific YORGOO and Ycad­emy calls as from February.

In Octo­ber we will fin­ish up with News­Cast where not yet done and then work on the future cor­po­rate image of Semi­oman­tics; this means for par­ties inter­ested in being part of Semi­oman­tics, to build a per­sonal image and pre­sen­ta­tion accord­ing to semi­oman­tics stan­dards and guide­lines. Bianca is work­ing with you on these pages to start with on the new Semi­oman­tics EVO site.

The Ycad­emy Octo­ber Sem­i­nar will bring us a big step ahead in as much as our Word­Press related knowl­edge is con­cerned. On the exam­ple of the new Author Blog we will become famil­ial with new design, edit­ing and pub­lish­ing stan­dards which will slowly but surely become stan­dards on Word­Press Blogs and CMS.

This is an extremely impor­tant Sem­i­nar for all who wish to do cus­tom design and web­site devel­op­ment. Also, all par­tic­i­pants will end up with a brand new Author Site built accord­ing to the high­est stan­dards and cus­tomized dur­ing the Seminar.

The last Octo­ber week will be reserved to do some post-seminar work if we are not able to han­dle the whole cur­ricu­lum dur­ing the week-end.

Between the 1 of Novem­ber and the Novem­ber Sem­i­nar, there are 20 calls. We will build 20 prod­ucts in 20 calls. These will be Semi­oman­tics prod­ucts you may sell directly from your store.These prod­ucts will also con­sti­tute a solid base for your port­fo­lio. This 20 calls — 20 prod­ucts will be a spec­tac­u­lar exercise!

To be able to work effi­ciently we will need to have an train­ing site which will be pro­vided by Ycad­emy — you will get a sand­box site at Ycad­emy net which we will set up by Novem­ber for each participant.

The goal is to get bet­ter and faster and more flex­i­ble with theme cus­tomiza­tion and to expe­ri­ence the joy of being able to tweak any theme to cus­tomer needs. The rea­son for this mega exer­cise is in the increas­ing cost of site devel­op­ment and design as the com­pe­ti­tion gets rougher and as we need to be able to build sites with a unique look, touch and feel in use­ful time.

The Novem­ber Seminar

The Sem­i­nar will have to deal with the con­sol­i­da­tion of the work done in Novem­ber and will cul­mi­nate in build­ing and set­ting up a per­sonal port­fo­lio, linked to the Shop, the Con­sul­tant site as well as to the Author site. The sem­i­nar will finally put the pieces and bits together to end up with a pro­fes­sion­ally look­ing online business.

After the sem­i­nar I expect some post-seminar ses­sions to take place to final­ize some details.

Decem­ber will be focused on the new YORGOO Net­work. A spe­cial pre­sen­ta­tion will take place shortly with a pre­view of what will be com­ing. Impor­tant: all Semi­oman­tics Part­ners will be exposed in YORGOO to help new sub­scribers; this con­cerns namely con­fig­u­ra­tion and cus­tomiza­tion services.

In Decem­ber Ycad­emy Pros will become famil­iar with the new YORGOO Net­work and test it. YORGOO will be a mem­ber­ship pro­gram with mul­ti­ple mem­ber­ship lev­els and  packages.

Decem­ber Seminar

The Decem­ber Sem­i­nar will deal with YORGOO and we will set up par­tic­i­pants’ web­sites there. This will give par­tic­i­pants an advance of 1 month before we offi­cially go pub­lic with YORGOO. Dur­ing that time we will pre­pare the inter­nal prod­ucts on offer for YORGOO users.

The Ycad­emy team as well as all those who have fol­lowed our sem­i­nars, have acquired tremen­dous knowl­edge. This knowl­edge is exploited indi­vid­u­ally and in the future also col­lec­tively by join­ing forces in var­i­ous ven­tures such as:

• Photo Media Stock
• Semi­oman­tics
• YORGOO
• Ycad­emy

As soon as YORGOO 2011 will be released we will again strictly sep­a­rate between Ycad­emy calls and YORGOO calls, whereas the Ycad­emy Pros will take the lead­ing role in the devel­op­ment of YORGOO 2011.

More than ever an online busi­ness needs pro­fes­sional web­sites and web­site devel­op­ment. Lead­ing by doing will show that the impos­si­ble can become pos­si­ble with the right atti­tude, means and efforts even for those who have lim­ited finan­cial resources and time.
