DSM Website of the week!
Our website of the week is: leestavall.com!
Leesta Vall Sound Recordings is a niche record label based in Brooklyn, NY. Their limited edition lathe cut record releases are made on modified vintage record cutting lathes.
Each record is handmade, one at a time, in real time, by a real person. Pretty cool to me! Big thanks to Aaron Zimmer, the founder and his team for choosing to use DSM on their website!
leestavall.com used the following DSM custom feed solutions, see it live in action:
Re-branding DSM Website Plugins
These past couple of weeks, my team and I were planning to re-brand DSM Website Plugins. DSM stands for “Display Social Media” as seen on our website URL.
Originally, DSM was meant to help users customize and embed Facebook, Twitter and Instagram feeds only. These are the biggest “Social Media Networking” websites. That’s why we chose “Display Social Media” as its name.
But over the years, DSM grew with more features and it will continue to grow with scope outside “Social Media Networking” websites. We believe this will help you save money and enjoy more plugins that might be useful for your business or projects.
We will have features to customize and embed RSS feeds and other sources not considered as social media websites. We will also have customized Facebook live chat, contact forms, promo bars, slide boxes, notification box, easy pop ups and more.
With that said, the “Display Social Media” brand no longer reflect who we are and who we will be. We haven’t come up with a new official name yet but we’ll let you know! If you have ideas, please reply to this email.
You are our boss. Your comments, feature requests and suggestions will continue to make our product better. Through our software, we want to help make your websites more sociable through customized representation of contents and website functionality.
For those who will ask about existing custom feeds: Yes, your custom feeds will continue to work even after we changed our brand or website URL. You don’t have to do anything.
