This summer, we were pleased to work with the Cinnamon Network to create http://www.communityfranchising.net/

We've just released a Case Study, which you can download here, http://bit.ly/pRu87G The Case Study details how the network, a consortium of 100 leaders of Christian denominations, including the Church of England and the Salvation Army, worked with Buzzr's professional services team to create a ratings/review site to allow 30,000+ churches in the U.K. to share information about 40+ charitable program "franchises."

When The Cinnamon Network, a U.K. non-profit, approached Buzzr about creating a website with Buzzr, they had two goals: finding a comprehensive social publishing platform and a platform they could run themselves, without a technical team. After shopping around, Cinnamon Network founder Geoff Knott decided Buzzr was the right solution and in just three weeks, we were able to help them launch an incredibly ambitious website

Buzzr has an incredibly powerful design tool. It's like Dreamweaver-lite in the cloud.

Every Buzzr site is divided into regions. For example, there's the header, the wallpaper, the center well, the side columns, and the menu. By clicking on that region, you can change its color or upload a new image behind it, or stretch so it's wider or taller.

We've created a new video to show you the ins and outs of the Design suite. You can find it on our videos page at https://www.buzzr.com/how-to-videos or on our You Tube channel at http://www.youtube.com/user/BuzzrWebsites

Getting to the official launch of Buzzr has required the work of many people. Recognizing them individually is the least I can do by way of thanks. So here goes, Oscar-style:

First, hats off to Karen Stevenson as lead developer and Tony Narlock as our staff developer and system administrator. These are the two individuals who have given the more hours than anyone else to getting our platform launched.
