We are pleased to introduce a line of new services by our founder, Wicasta Lovelace. If you know our company, you no doubt know that Wicasta has always been the driving force behind Windhaven Network. It just makes good business sense to make his skills and services available through Windhaven Network itself.

We will soon be offering Multi-Media services, web design and web hosting services. We have provided these services to select clientele in the past, but now intend to make them available to the general public. We will, of course, be posting more information as we iron out the particulars of each service, and hope to have a full price list and infrastructure in place by the end of the week.

Our initial focus will be upon musicians. It is quite difficult for the average artist or band to put together a decent web site. There are many free options available, but let’s face it. You get what you pay for. There’s a reason it’s a free. But on the other end of the spectrum are professional grade web designers who charge hundreds or even thousands of dollars for even the most basic web site – far beyond the reach of the average working musician.

Our intention is to provide a middle ground, offering services that are well within the budgets of working musicians. Our hosting packages will begin at $9.95 a month, with staggered services leading up to our deluxe package at $45.95 per month. Design services will be on a case by case basis, but are expected to be in the range of $35-40 for basic set-ups. Audio services will be on a case by case basis, as well, and will include services such as audio mastering, format conversion and social networking administration.

We will be posting detailed information on our services and prices soon. Stay tuned! It’s an exciting time at Windhaven Network!



We’ve recently been convinced to try our hands at magazine publishing. Several of our clients have expressed desires to publish information that benefits various niche markets, and asked for our assistance in doing so. While we are not actually getting into the print business, we have long been thrilled by the prospects presented by Hewlett-Packard’s relatively new MagCloud service, which prints magazines on demand. The gist of this service is that an budding publisher with the right skill set could put together a magazine which appeals to a niche market and make it available through the MagCloud service. Anyone who orders a copy of the resulting magazine will have it custom printed for them. In short, the MagCloud service eliminates the need for long print runs and warehousing of merchandise. The magazine does not exist until someone orders it, and then it is printed and mailed to them.

The most exciting prospect, in our opinion, where MagCloud is concerned is the option to make the magazine available for download to the growing iPad market. At the moment HP does not allow publishers to charge for the iPad download, but it should be obvious what a powerful marketing tool this could be.

This is what we’ve been recommending to our clients. As per their requests, we have agreed to allow these magazines to be published under the auspices of Windhaven Network for continuity. Our creative input will be “hands-off” for the most part. As ever, our goal here is to provide the tools necessary for our community of clients and artists to reach their prospective audiences. This is a large step in that direction.

Throughout our history, Windhaven Network’s focus has been solely on providing a framework upon which our associates could build their projects, providing access to the Internet in the form of Web Presence, E-Mail, SQL database capabilities, Social Engineering and Marketing. As the needs of our clients have evolved, however, we’re found our role in the process evolving, as well.

It’s with that in mind that Windhaven Network has decided to get our feet wet in Print Publishing to better assist our Writer friends, as well as establish a Record Label to help our favorite Musical Artists better reach the national stage. We are retaining our Diabolical Products division, and will continue to market those products which our customers simply can’t love without. But our focus will be expanding into exciting new territory.

We’ll post more information on these projects as they develop. In the meantime we’ll keep on doing that which we do so well.

We are very happy to welcome Windhaven.us to our roster of supported domains. Windhaven is an acoustic musical trio based out of Saint Petersburg, Florida, and is not a part of Windhaven Network. We hope to provide Web and Internet services to the band throughout their career, and look forward to being a small part of their arsenal.
