title: Information Publicizing and Blogging
|
||||
---
|
||||
In the early days of the World Wide Web, it was known as the “information superhighway.” From its inception, the web’s primary goal is information. The open nature of the Internet allows anyone, anywhere to say anything, provided they can connect a machine to the network. In fact, there are software products to handle everything except creating the content; all you have to bring is the ability to form a coherent thought, and type that thought into a box. [WordPress](https://wordpress.org "WordPress") is one of the most popular <abbr title="Web Log">blog</abbr>ging platforms in use today; it allows authors to concentrate on the content of their websites, rather than forcing authors to turn into programmers.

## Custom-Built Sites
|
||||
|
||||
- We developed and maintained the site for [Emerald Mountain Christian School](http://www.emeraldmountainchristianschool.org)<small> (<nuxt-link to="/solutions/emerald-mountain-christian-school" title="Emerald Mountain Christian School • Bit Badger Solutions">about</nuxt-link>)</small> for 9 years, where they had information about the type of curriculum they teach, the school’s 40+-year history, a calendar of events, and how to get more information.
|
||||
- We built and maintained the site for [Photography by Michelle](https://www.summershome.org)<small> (<nuxt-link to="/solutions/photography-by-michelle" title="Photography by Michelle • Bit Badger Solutions">about</nuxt-link>)</small>, which had information, prices, and samples of the photographer’s work, as well as the ability for customers to view proofs and make photo selections online.
|
||||
- The site for [Bay Vista Baptist Church](https://bayvista.org "Bay Vista Baptist Church")<small> (<nuxt-link to="/solutions/bay-vista" title="Bay Vista Baptist Church • Bit Badger Solutions">about</nuxt-link>)</small> utilizes a “static site generator,” where the entire site is generated from source files, then served. It requires no back-end database, which means that the server can send pages as fast as its clients can take them. This site even has a generated podcast feed! Adding content to these types of sites requires a bit more technical knowledge beyond “typing text in a box,” but it is a great way to build ultra-fast, scalable web sites.
|
||||
- This site is also a statically-generated site, utilizing the [Nuxt](https://nuxtjs.org) project for the [Vue.js](https://vuejs.org) JavaScript framework. Using Nuxt’s content plugin, the majority of pages are written in Markdown (a very writing-friendly format). We can include data at the top of each file that controls how it is displayed; this gives us both the flexibility of a database and the speed of not actually having one! (It’s [open source](https://github.com/bit-badger/bitbadger.solutions) if you want to see how we did it.)

## WordPress Design, Customization, and Support
|
||||
|
||||
- For [Futility Closet](https://www.futilitycloset.com "Futility Closet")<small> (<nuxt-link to="/solutions/futility-closet" title="Futility Closet • Bit Badger Solutions">about</nuxt-link>)</small>, we moved their site from a shared hosting platform to its own <abbr title="Virtual Private Server">VPS</abbr>, securing it from intrusion attempts and enabling it to handle its ever-increasing traffic.
|
||||
- We took over [Mindy Mackenzie](https://mindymackenzie.com "Mindy Mackenzie")<small> (<nuxt-link to="/solutions/mindy-mackenzie" title="Mindy Mackenzie • Bit Badger Solutions">about</nuxt-link>)</small> in advance of the release of her eventual _<abbr title="Wall Street Journal">WSJ</abbr>_ best-selling book _The Courage Solution_, and continue to support her as she hosts the annual _You First Integrative Leadership Summit_.
|
||||
- We helped <nuxt-link to="/solutions/cassy-fiano" title="Cassy Fiano • Bit Badger Solutions">Cassy Fiano</nuxt-link> and <nuxt-link to="/solutions/dr-melissa-clouthier" title="Dr. Melissa Clouthier • Bit Badger Solutions">Dr. Melissa Clouthier</nuxt-link> both move their blogs from Blogspot to their own domains.
|
||||
- We migrated <nuxt-link to="/solutions/liberty-pundits" title="Liberty Pundits • Bit Badger Solutions">Liberty Pundits</nuxt-link> from a custom blog platform to WordPress, and set up and maintained their server, which routinely cleared 100,000 hits per day in its prime.
|
||||
- <nuxt-link to="/solutions/tcms" title="The Clearinghouse Management System (TCMS) • Bit Badger Solutions">TCMS</nuxt-link> and <nuxt-link to="/solutions/nsx" title="NSXapp • Bit Badger Solutions">NSXapp</nuxt-link> both used WordPress as their front end, which also provided a public web presence that the customers could update themselves.
|
||||
|
||||
On _[The Bit Badger Blog](https://blog.bitbadger.solutions "The Bit Badger Blog")_ you can browse the [WordPress](https://blog.bitbadger.solutions/category/wordpress "WordPress • The Bit Badger Blog") category for information on plug-ins, and we have supported theme customizations for nearly all of the WordPress sites linked on the sidebar/footer of the home page.

title: Legacy Data Solutions
|
||||
---
|
||||
Our background in mainframe applications gives us a knowledgeable perspective on retrieving information from older, “legacy” systems. This data can be migrated to a more modern relational or document database, where a web application can retrieve the information; in some cases, the data can even be exposed as a web service in place. These types of systems are often a great way for companies to expose their data to their customers, without having to move their day-to-day system from its current environment. While we currently have no active projects along these lines, we have done them in the past for other organizations; sadly, none can be linked publicly.

title: Process Automation and User Engagement
|
||||
---
|
||||
Computers can be used to augment or automate nearly any process; could you think of generating bank statements, processing mailing lists, or tracking orders without some form of automation? We develop web-based solutions to automate _your_ processes, ensuring that your business constraints are satisfied; these systems can run on the Internet or your private network. For Internet-facing solutions, we engineer solutions that allow them to interact with you securely, presented in an engaging manner. And, by “engagement,” we are not describing intrusive page pop-ups and other <span class="strike">marketing gimmicks</span> web annoyances; we determine an optimal user experience for _your_ customers, and tailor the solution to work for both of you.
|
||||
|
||||
Several of our solutions fit this description.
|
||||
|
||||
- <nuxt-link to="/solutions/virtual-prayer-room" title="Virtual Prayer Room • Bit Badger Solutions">Virtual Prayer Room</nuxt-link> helped the prayer ministry of [Hoffmantown Church](https://www.hoffmantownchurch.org "Hoffmantown Church • Albuquerque, New Mexico") enable their prayer warriors to have access to requests wherever they are, even in their inbox once a day!
|
||||
- <nuxt-link to="/solutions/tcms" title="The Clearinghouse Management System (TCMS) • Bit Badger Solutions">TCMS</nuxt-link> was an application that helped organizations such as [Love INC of South Albuquerque](http://www.loveincabq.org) connect people with needs to people who can help fulfill those needs. TCMS sprung from the [Not So Extreme Makeover: Community Edition](https://nsx.archive.bitbadger.solutions "Not So Extreme Makeover: Community Edition (Archive)") in Albuquerque, New Mexico during spring break 2008; we not only developed the public presence, but a private system called <nuxt-link to="/solutions/nsx" title="NSXapp • Bit Badger Solutions">NSXapp</nuxt-link> that enabled the management of the volunteers, families, and things for this massive effort.
|
||||
- We continue to offer [PrayerTracker](https://prayer.bitbadger.solutions "PrayerTracker")<small> (<nuxt-link to="/solutions/prayer-tracker" title="PrayerTracker • Bit Badger Solutions">about</nuxt-link>)</small>, a free-to-use web application that helps Sunday School classes (or other small groups) generate a prayer request list; it provides a central place for list management and continuity.

title: Web Services Solutions
|
||||
---
|
||||
A web service is a way of using the Internet to provide or accept information that makes sense to computers; this allows other sites or applications to consume information from, or provide information to, your service. This enables communication between applications, without having to establish any communication channels other than the ones that web browsers already use. It isn’t the best fit for every application, but when it is useful, it is _very_ useful.
|
||||
|
||||
An <abbr title="Application Programming Interface">API</abbr> can be a synonym for a web service, but it can also be a generally accessible way of providing data. For example, Twitter has a public API, which other applications can use to display tweets on their site.
|
||||
|
||||
- [myPrayerJournal](https://prayerjournal.me)<small> (<nuxt-link to="/solutions/my-prayer-journal" title="myPrayerJournal • Bit Badger Solutions">about</nuxt-link>)</small> is a <abbr title="Single Page Application">SPA</abbr> which only downloads the structure of the site the first time you go there, then utilizes a stateless API to access data from the browser.
|
||||
- <nuxt-link to="/solutions/photography-by-michelle" title="Photography by Michelle • Bit Badger Solutions">Photography by Michelle</nuxt-link> had a private web API that a desktop application utilized to create the online proof sets right from the computer where the images resided.
|
||||
- We [wrote a service](https://blog.bitbadger.solutions/2010/4040-web-service.html "40/40 Web Service • The Bit Badger Blog") for the 2010 [40/40 Prayer Vigil](http://erlc.com/4040/ "40/40 Prayer Vigil • Ethics and Religious Liberty Commission of the Southern Baptist Convention"), which was utilized by several sites to display the current day’s (or hour’s) prayer focus, and [wrote one for 2012](https://blog.bitbadger.solutions/2012/4040-web-service-for-2012.html "40/40 Web Service for 2012 • The Bit Badger Blog") as well. _(As the ERLC does not host these any more, this service is no longer active.)_

title: Why “Bit Badger”?
|
||||
---
|
||||
A while back, our primary developer Daniel learned through genetic testing that he had one gene that was not right (technically known as a genetic mutation). He is currently fine _(thank you for asking)_, but his co-workers thought of another group of genetic mutants – the X-Men. They wanted to develop the mutant identity for him in that style; since Wolverine is already taken, they wanted something similar, but based on a member of the weasel family (for its normal private life and fierce tenacity, not its morals). They went through several different options, but when “Bit Badger” was mentioned, it was the winner. The Bit Badger's mutant superpower is the ability to shoot 1s and 0s out its nostrils!
|
||||
|
||||
Daniel liked this moniker, and decided to run with it. He had been growing dissatisfied with the name “DJS Consulting,” as he felt that name was passive. He enjoys taking problems and finding creative solutions for them, making our computers work for us instead of the other way around. While he can't actually breathe out 1s and 0s, they do flow from his fingers (in groups of 8, of course).
