Douglass Freed Retrospective at the Daum Museum

On Saturday, February 5 at 2 p.m. we would like to invite you to join us at the opening of 305 Spin’s long-time friend Douglass Freed’s retrospective exhibit at the Daum Museum of Contemporary Art in Sedalia, Missouri.  The retrospective, “Douglass Freed, Paintings, 1973-2010,” traces the evolution of a body of work that has explored issues of abstraction, suggestion, surface and deep space.  The survey ranges from large-scale monochromatic color fields to more structured arrangements inspired by the archeology of Greece and Mexico.


Freed, a retired State Fair Community College art instructor and former director of the Daum Museum will present an artist’s talk at 2 p.m. A reception will follow until 4 p.m.  The exhibition continues through May 29.  To learn more about Douglass Freed and his work, please visit www.dougfreed.com.

Museum hours are 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Tuesday through Friday and 1-5 p.m. Saturday and Sunday.  The museum is closed Mondays.  Admission is free.  For more information about the Daum Museum of Contemporary Art and this or other upcoming exhibits, please visit www.daummuseum.org.

Get Your Website in Shape for 2011!

It's not too late to make getting your website in shape your 2011 New Year's resolution!  If your website hasn't been updated in a few years, now is the time to schedule a makeover, redesign, or overhaul for your website as one of your new year's resolutions. 

We have seen firsthand the decline in website traffic and profit statistics for clients who have had the same website up for several years.  It is vitally important to your online success that you update content on a fairly regular basis.  Search engines consider freshly updated websites with up-to-date content to be of greater value than outdated content, penalizing websites that remain unchanged and stagnant and rewarding websites that maintain fresh content. 

In today's fast-paced constantly changing world, the statistics are proving to us there exists a downturn in websites visits and hits for those ignoring the freshness or design of their websites.  It doesn't mean changing the services or products offered on your website, but just like in the traditional retail market, sometimes just moving things around a bit can shed a whole new light on them and rekindle customer attention. 

The 305 Spin team is ready to work with you to give you some ideas for a re-skin or a complete makeover.  At the same time we can discuss new features we can provide that may have not been options when your website was created.  And our organic SEO best practices are worth working into your website makeover.  Add a Facebook page or a Facebook custom tab (sweet) and a rockin' blog and you will be well on your way to becoming the new social maestro or social diva on your block in 2011.  To discuss ways to increase your website traffic and online profits in 2011, please don't hesitate to call us at 660-827-3056 or email amanda@305spin.com.
