Earthdance is a global movement which unites socially and environmentally conscious people in more than 50 countries around the world in a celebration of peace and community. Each year the event raises a significant amount of money for charities, the work of which supports the achievement of Earthdance objectives.  This website now is parked on the PANDORA  National Library of Australia. There are 4 versions saved on PANDORA

The webssite had many different venues and required different editors to log in and edit on the fly information  and updates

Earthdance was originally built in  Mambo but transfered to Joomla in its second iteration and then Ning.

In 2006 from Sydney Park we did live cast the event with a roving camera. the site had no phone or power so that was also a challenge. Don't forget it was 2006, there was no 3G or hotspots.  We did maintain a live stream for the whole duration of the event and we were featured on the Earthdance  live cast feed.

Later we found out that the Earthdance website was being used by a multimedia college in New York was being used as a template and example of how site should be built.

Skingrowsback started out as a custom handmade site that was  converted into a WordPress CMS.  A template was chosen and images were meticulously created to suit the client. E-commerce was made possible with the Woo-Commerce plug-in. Social networking was plugged into the site with an Instagram feed  and share links out.  Several customization  such as a location / language / local dollar value sniffers. Customers on the site were from all over the world . Tracking and product rating was added  to the site later.  After many years of WordPress and Woo-Commerce  it was a good choice that the shop is now built in Shopify.
