PraiseVoice Network

I know I haven’t been around to write much on PraiseVoice recently. It is always hard to give one’s reasons, but that is not  the point of the post either. I simply want to let all PraiseVoice community users  that I was busy making some interesting applications that would hopefully make our services even better. Below is a nutshell of what is in stock for PraiseVoice.

1. As of Novermber 1st 2009, the PraiseVoice shop will be back.

   It has been almost 8 months since we put it down. The reasons behind that restructure was that we needed to make a shopping cart that’s much better than it was better and tailored at enhancing the relations between customers, PraiseVoice administration and musicians. With the new cart, users will not only be able to shop quickly online, they will be able to track their orders as they are shipped. This will reduce the havoc on shipping and delivery issues.

2. What about sending card and greetings to friends/family?

   Well, November 1st is the day.  In the past we had the ability to share music with friends and family using the greetings service of PraiseVoice and ishimwe.com  The new service will only allow you to send greetings and music to friends and family for free, you will also be able to share them on social networks such as facebook ! What about that?
   Rendez-vous:  November 1st !

3. PraiseVoice Radio integration

   Ok.. Listening to the Radio is great. I know you love it because statistics show me that PraiseVoice Radio is more popular than ever with more visitors coming from well over 80 countries around the world. Better yet to come, is that we are launching a podcasting service in English, French and  Kinyarwanda (ishimwe.com ). What about that? You will be able to see the songs that are playing and some information associated with them. You will also be able to to comment on the song, write a review and much more. Could it be any more fun to tune into PraiseVoice?

This notice it to let you all know that this new service will start with an addition to the PraiseVoice staff. As of November 1st 2009, you will see two new people added at the PraiseVoice staff in our Sherbrooke office and two coordinators in Rwanda, one in France, one in UK, and one in Australia. We will publish the names and their responsibility on November 1st!

We appreciate your prayers and encouragements to share the Gospel through music.

PraiseVoice n’a pas fermé ses portes!

Au contraire tout a changé. Par exemple, on peut facilement dire que PraiseVoice est désormais “tout-en-un”. Par ce, la radio, le magasin, les cartes de voeux, et tout autre service de Praisevoice sont intégrés ensemble pour vous faciliter la tache de naviguer à travers le site. Je vous explique tout ci-bas.

Je m’appelle Janvier Manishimwe, fondateur et gérant de PraiseVoice Online Services. Depuis que j’ai connu le Seigneur par sa grace infinie, la musique Gospel – surtout d’Afrique Centrale- est devenue le point de pivot de ma vie. A plusieurs reprises j’ai essayé de faire une collection de musique Gospel “peu connue” pour la partager avec les autres qui auraient les mêmes aspirations, et plus préferablement à l’échelle au-delà des frontières d’Afrique Centrale. En 2005 j’ai créé PraiseVoice, une idée néée en une nuit. Plus précisement le 18 Septembre 2005 PraiseVoice a soubi les premiers clics de souris des visiteurs de trois pays à savoir le Canada, les USA, et l’Afrique du Sud. Au cours des jours qui ont suivi, le nombre de ces pays a augmenté à plus de 50 par mois, surpassant ainsi toute attente que j’avais au départ. Les messages qu’on recevait de nos visiteurs montraient clairement qu’il y avait besoin d’un systeme pour unir tous les services de PraiseVoice pour un accès “plus facile”. Ca a été long et pleins de défis, mais on y est aujourd’hui, tout en un… Je vous donne quelques details:

• Le nouveau PraiseVoice est conçu principalement pour un accès facile. Vous allez vous rendre compte que la navigation est exactement la même pour chaque page du nouveau site.
• Quand vous visitez PraiseVoice, la sécurité est une priorité. Le nouveau Platforme PraiseVoice est optimizé pour un niveau de sécurité maximale. L’une des raison étant que notre magasin est désormais intégré dans chaque comme je l’ai mentioné en haut.
• Le nouveau praisevoice est très élegant!

Avec ces changements pour une navigation plus simplifiée, PraiseVoice n’a jamais été plus intéressant!

“The look is great, the advantages are numerous, security is improved and everything is together now.” That’s the new PraiseVoice in a nutshell!

My name is Janvier Manishimwe, I have been working on improving PraiseVoice over the past few months and I haven’t been any happier than now. It is the Grand debut of another chapter in the existence of PraiseVoice, and I have a few reasons to say so. In 2005 I had an idea to create a website I can use to promote “least heard of, world gospel” musicians and their work. Read the rest of this entry →
