			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Since 2009 Sprout Venture has been working diligently on creating and expanding the capabilities of Group Buying Site (GBS). Our contributions to GBS have helped it evolve into a remarkable social buying platform that’s utilized by many businesses worldwide. Along the way we’ve also designed and developed several GBS themes and custom built features for our clients.</p>
<blockquote><p>Group Buying Site (GBS) offers premium WordPress themes and plugins to run your very own online daily deals website like Groupon or LivingSocial. We take great pride in the quality of our products and services to ensure that our software contains well-written code, that our designs are intuitive, and that customer service is top notch.</p>
<p>GBS makes it easy for you to get your very own online group buying business up and running in just a few hours. We leverage the power of WordPress as a content management system to allow GBS owners the ability to easily create and manage their daily deals through a user-friendly interface. Furthermore, because WordPress is so easy to use and intuitively designed, almost anyone can operate and deploy their own daily deals site using our GBS plugin/theme. Simply install our GBS plugin/theme, configure your theme’s/plugin’s options, create some deals, and launch your site.<br />
GBS is the originator of the premium Group Buying Plugin and Group Buying Theme for WordPress. Some people may refer to it as the Groupon of WordPress. Our goal for GBS is to manufacture an easy to use collective buying system so that businesses and individuals can operate their own daily deals website. WordPress offers a well established and ever growing community of business owners that are always looking for new opportunities to monetize their websites. For them and many other aspiring entrepreneurs, GBS and WordPress are a perfect match. In contrast to shilling out thousands of dollars for software, or partnering with group buying platforms that take a majority of all your sales, why not launch your own group buying site using our out-of-the-box daily deals solution today?</p>
<p>If you have any questions regarding GBS and its line of products, see our frequently asked questions (FAQ) page.</p></blockquote>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The Law Offices of David Lehr Law is a great example of what we can provide from end-to-end; to help a business grow in this world of online branding, presence and conversion.</p>
<p>The Law Offices of David Lehr Lawis a local business we strategized with to create an online portfolio of sites to network and create great SEO traffic. Since launch traffic has increased 35% and 700% over the network of sites ( one of which is new ).</p>
<p>Custom widgets were created for maximum customizability.</p>
<p>The Carrington Theme framework along with some in-house tools we provide all of our clients to utilize the WordPress platform for content management.</p>
<p>Online Marketing, including search engine marketing or SEM is another responsibility. In this case we&#8217;re focusing on ROI, the conversion being a phone call, email or fax; and since phone and fax isn&#8217;t handled programmatically we help with the business side of measuring goals.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h3>Mission</h3>
<p>USA Dance Los Angeles is a non-profit ballroom organization dedicated to promoting and raising awareness about ballroom dance. We currently have about 500 members (mostly social dancers) and are growing. We are a sub- chapter of the national organization USA Dance which servers as the national governing body for ballroom dancing and DanceSport, the competitive version of ballroom dancing in the United States.<br />
Our primary activity is throwing social ballroom dances, about every 6 weeks. Our dances usually attract between 200-300 people. We have members of all ages, but most members are probably between 40-60 years old. We charge admission at our dances and our members receive a discount. Each dance features an instructor/professional dancer from the Los Angeles area who teaches us a free lesson. We currently have an ongoing relationship with a couple of pros from Dancing with the Stars who have taught at our dances a few times.<br />
About once a year we organize a large dance showcase which is an opportunity for our members and other ballroom dancers in LA to perform either as amateur couples or pro-am (student dancing with instructor). There are also group performances and pro-pro numbers. Our next dance showcase is on October 17.<br />
We also have an ongoing community service program we call “Senior Outreach” where our members visit senior assisted-living centers and perform for them.<br />
We also sponsor programs to teach ballroom dance to underprivileged youths at schools and community centers around L.A.</p>
<h3>Objectives</h3>
<p>Our membership is growing rapidly and we have identified a need for a more professional looking web presence. (Please visit http://www.usadance-la.org/ index.htm to see our existing site).<br />
The primary objectives of the web site are as follows:<br />
Promote our next dance<br />
Encourage people to join our mailing list<br />
Encourage new members to join our organization<br />
Promote dance studios and instructors in Los Angeles<br />
Promote our any upcoming special event, such as our Showcase.<br />
Promote out Senior Outreach and Middle-School Programs</p>
