FaveQuest creates new site: Bluesfest ByWard

We’re creative types and had piled up a bunch of new ideas to run by the Ottawa Bluesfest organization. Bluesfest Radio, Bluesfest tv, embedding bluesfest viewtube in third party sites and so on. So we have a meeting and before we get into it, we’re told “we may be launching a small festival in the ByWard market”. Bill (my partner) and I look at each other. Huh?

A Nice Surprise

Totally derailed the conversation in a good direction. Finally sealed the deal late one night over the phone, settled on what we’d deliver, a time and a price and we were off to the races. Nearly 90 performers and DJs are coming from all over to play across 12 venues in the ByWard Market, including an outdoor stage!

Phase 1 of the Bluesfest ByWard site is finally up and it is pretty awesome. We have more coming in the next few weeks too so please be sure to register for the site … even better, create an account so you can take full advantage of advanced features (access you calendar from anywhere, inviting friends, last minute alerts and more. Rather than tell you more about it, check it out for yourself.

Cheers,

We are Fans of the Ottawa Bluesfest

It makes a big difference when you’re a huge fan of the customer you’re doing work for. The people at FaveQuest have always loved the Ottawa Bluesfest and have countless positive memories. We’ve done our best to build tools for fans just like us and I must say, it is going very well.

We have received some very nice emails including one from a nearly blind woman,who was able to explore the bluesfest performers by using our viewtube application because of all the multimedia we included and the simple navigation. That feels good!

Facebook app 2.0 and more!

But we’re not stopping there. Since launch we’ve added some new features like allowing people to publish their calendar so their friends can easily see what others are attending. We’re also in the process of developing version 2.0 of the Facebook application that will make it even more engaging and social.

There is more. In the next few weeks, we’ll be launching some more tools for fans to explore even more musical acts and stay up to date with daily events at the bluesfest. I can’t tell you more unfortunately but keep your ear to the ground and this blog.

It has been exciting and it is about to get even better!
