The Regina Farmers' Market needed a fully integrated website that would incorporate content management, our new logo, our seasonal changes of locations, a large roster of vendors, and frequent news items. We needed a designer that could make an attractive, enticing website. We needed a designer that understood our need to market to our consumer base of 5/7 women with families and busy careers. Zee Bee Honey recommended their website designer, Conrad Schultz of Topwater.ca.

As Manager of the Regina Farmers' Market, it would be my job to work closely with Conrad and learn from him how to update the site. He developed a gorgeous site that integrated all the qualities that we desired for our Market. He was personable, hard working, and always on time. His easy manner made it simple to get across what I expected from the site, how I wanted it to be a place that the Regina public would keep going back to. He trained me how to operate the site, update vendor information, add news articles, and send out newsletters. The templates for the look of the site he developed were intensive; they used all four seasons which will change at specific times of the year along with our seasonal location changes from indoor to outdoor.

This is one of the most complicated types of sites any designer could do; previous designers became stumped on the vendor listing as some vendors may sell as many as 5 different products. Conrad found a simple solution for this challenge. He listed their types of products in the Metadata information on each vendor, which are simple to change if necessary and listed the vendors in an appropriate manner. Reginafarmersmarket.ca will be used as a crucial modern tool in promoting the old ways of farming and buying local.

Of course we are a non-profit organization without the benefit of huge budgets for Marketing and Advertising. Conrad's quote was fair and fit nicely into our budget. The Market membership was impressed with the final result, and with Conrad's professionalism. He has created one of the busiest sites in Regina. I cannot thank him enough for the job he did beyond what we even imagined our website could be. I would give him nothing less than a glowing recommendation for his work on reginafarmersmarket.ca.

Job well done Conrad! We appreciate you very much!

What is Thunderbird?
"Thunderbird is a free, open-source and cross-platform mail client for most operating systems including, but not limited to, Windows, Linux and Macintosh".

I have to say the new Thunderbird was at first glance, rather confusing for me as they changed some things around. But once I started using it I soon learned that it was a good way to go.

Here are some of the features - best part is the price!

Likes

• Tabbed email - where each email you open is opened in a tab not a window (like firefox browsing)

• Smart Folders - Add multiple email accounts (gmail, hotmal, accesscomm, sasktel, yourlink, godaddy, etc) and then group them all in the folders panel to see all emails from all accounts in one inbox (with the option to separate)

• Conversations - Hold Ctrl or the apple key along when you select multiple emails from the list and a ``conversations`` window appears and groups the first blurbs of each each in a summarized list.
  

Dislikes

• I'm used to the reply\forward buttons being at the top, typically left side, of the page, in most mail software. They are now directly above the reading pane on the right

 

 

Add-ons
I also recommend the Lightning Calendar add-on.
