Get to Know iDonny

iDonny is an agile skill-organized team that is led by Donny Nyamweya. Although I am the lead developer and Web Producer for iDonny, LLC, I consistently collaborate with a network of highly professional and knowledgeable specialists (including graphic designers, back-end developers, LAMP server support staff, Flash artists, and UI/UX Designers). This defines the agile and needs-based composition of the team, and it equips iDonny Productions to meet and exceed the needs of your project by applying independent ideas for innovative and forward-thinking solutions.

This approach gives you an edge over the traditional options, such as: - having an employee (whose innovation is often limited by your immediate needs and technology), and using large-volume vendors with predetermined and cookie-cutter services, iDonny Productions prides itself in its ability to provide individualized attention and custom-tailored solutions to your website and business needs.

Some History

My original objective and motivation was to share my knowledge and experiences in effective Website Production with others - so I started the website cmsproducer.com in early 2006. At that time, I was the Web Production Manager at a mid-size company in Massachusetts, and I had the responsibility of implementing a content management solution. With a brand-new HP server in the data-center, I had fertile ground for the foundational information in this website that detailed the processes, trials, tribulations, and successes of building the WAMP (Windows, Apache, MYSQL, and PHP) infrastructure on which I eventually installed Drupal (my choice CMS infrastructure since early 2004), configured it, and built a User Interface/UI theme that reflected the desired brand.

I also had the urge to test conventional “wisdom”, common knowledge, myths, and truths about Web Standards, Search Engine Optimization, Accessibility, and the implementation of Front-End Web Technologies. More so at the time than now, many web professionals had varied beliefs about what Google will punish, and banish for, whether or not it was worth the time and energy to code markup correctly (separating markup from presentations) or if using the quick, all-inclusive WYSWYG to create web pages was acceptable. Time revealed that, like the many web standards and accessibility evangelists, I was right to do things the correct way irrespective of how hard it seemed at the time.

From cmsproducer.com to iDonny, LLC

As cmsproducer.com grew in popularity, the visibility provided by the ideas and approaches discussed on the website attracted notable individuals and organizations to request me to implement and brand Drupal-powered CMS solutions for their institutions.

With this momentum, I decided to leave my formal employment and dedicate all my time to my passion: creation of websites based on Web Standards, W3C valid, accessible, and powered by a scalable and flexible CMS framework. Drupal has been the obvious choice for most of my clients and myself because it embodies and is sustained by a similar passion for work-well-done. cmsproducer.com has since morphed to become the formal entity: iDonny, LLC.
