Testimonials

“HarmonySite has had a massive positive impact for the chorus. The public side is very easy to navigate and looks great, but the real beauty is the members’ side. All our music is available in one place, and easily accessible for everyone. As we work on a song, we can update information on it with the greatest of ease, so everyone is always “singing off the same page”! It basically seems to have anticipated anything that we might choose to do to improve communication in the chorus. What is most important is the support that Mark provides – even though he’s at the other side of the world! There is absolutely no need to feel daunted by using HarmonySite, as we know that his help is just an email away.”

Beating Time

“I have directed two choirs who have used the unique website and services of HarmonySite. It has transformed the way we communicate and interact with the public, but even more importantly, the way we communicate within the choir and manage our membership, gigs, set-lists, repertoire, archives, photos and CD sales. Mark and his team have worked hard to develop the product and have responded effectively to their users’ feedback and the product has continuously evolved and improved. It has grown into a very sophisticated organisational and marketing tool for us and many of our fellow choirs. It is very simple to use, and I can think of few choir needs that it does not handle very well. I could not recommend it highly enough for choirs of any size.”

“We adopted HarmonySite for our new website earlier this year. The features HarmonySite provides for both the public and our choir members are invaluable. It seems almost nothing is impossible to do. The support provided by Mark during the setting-up process was fabulous, and this support has continued since then – he is always at the end of an email or phone line (day or night)!  We have received overwhelmingly positive feedback on our new site; the most recent comment from someone booking us was “Love your website.  It was really easy to quickly find out what I needed to know”.  We highly recommend HarmonySite as a user friendly, professional website.”

High Spirits Harmony

“Since its introduction in 2008, our HarmonySite has proved an excellent asset for The Honeybees – helping us from an administration, marketing and information-accessibility perspective. We constantly receive positive feedback from both our choir members and the public. Proactive updates and enhancements are always forthcoming. All in all a very professional, easy-to-use system.”

“Mark, thank you for our HarmonySite. The site is really great and intuitive. Most importantly you and your team are the “wow” factor. I love that you are responsive, responsible and go the extra mile. As someone involved in conflict management, having IT support with huge emotional intelligence is worth its weight in gold!”

“Mark, thank you for the outstanding work you have done with the our website. As secretary of the chorus I held all the information about membership in various spreadsheets, all the minutes of Executive meetings in various formats, not to mention being the focal point for the distribution of all electronic messages. Whilst all this was done with a willing heart, it did involve a fair amount of effort. With the introduction of our HarmonySite, all this changed. In our members area, we are now able to hold (securely) all information required by our members; In the event calendar, people can see and download our rehearsal schedule; and so much more. It has meant that the website has become the focal point for information instead of me!! The ease with which we can administer the website is most impressive. The in-built flexibility of the website has meant that we can accommodate just about everybody’s requests! So again, many thanks, you have decreased my workload significantly and meant that I can get on with the main reason for joining the chorus – singing!”

Sydney Harmony

“Our chorus was going into our third year with a competitor website when we were introduced to HarmonySite. We switched because it was so very user-friendly and our website was totally integrated with the members-only management website from the get-go. With our former provider, we had to use a separate URL to reach the membership management area, the learning curve was very difficult, and many of our members accessed their membership information with a great deal of difficulty. As the webmaster, it often took me a long time to figure out how to change or correct things. We are completely happy with HarmonySite. Members access their membership information, send e-mails, download music and so much more with great ease. As the webmaster, it is such an intuitive system that making changes and additions is a breeze and if I can’t figure it out, Mark fixes it for me in minutes. The bonus? Harmony Site is less expensive than our previous provider while providing so much more.”

“Working with our HarmonySite website is a breeze, and if I have any support queries, they are answered incredibly quickly. All my misunderstandings are dealt with in a frank and professional manner. So simple, so sound.”

Honeybees Choir

“HarmonySite provides a world-class service at very competitive rates. Above that, though, they provide a level of personal support like none I’ve encountered anywhere else. Unless you own a datacentre I don’t believe you can do better.”

“The service we have received since signing up with Mark at HarmonySite has been nothing short of amazing. Being a not-for-profit organisation, run by volunteers, we had no idea of how to create a website, let alone to drive it, in order to make the jobs of our volunteers so much easier. Mark has delivered that product and continues to build additional modules at no extra charge. The biggest plus for us is that when we lodge a query with Mark, it is usually responded to positively within 1-2 hours, and we are always kept informed of current and future developments and easy step-by-step instructions on how to get the most of our website. On another note, the invoicing system works sensationally! The payment-by-credit-card process is such a seamless process and the payment acknowledgement emails work like a charm! An amazing product, an amazing price, and an amazing support team. Highly recommended!”

“Fleurieu Harmony Chorus is a barbershop chorus based in South Australia. We have a busy schedule with 3-4 performances each month throughout the year as well as entering competitions such as the Fleurieu Festival, the Adelaide Eisteddfod and the Central Region competition. The HarmonySite package not only informs our public, providing contacts, information about the chorus and its officers, performances, rehearsals and merchandise offers but its member-only pages allow us to provide the club’s members with detailed information about upcoming events, a colour-coded calendar, uniform information and Clothing Sizes, the club’s repertoire including downloadable files for each voice part and a handy online player, individual and group emails, a Bulletin Board and Suggestion Box, Club minutes, Visitors Book, Libraries, Photos, Slide Shows, Videos and much more. We particularly like its well-designed user interface with club members able to view event details and a Google Map of the exact location with a couple of clicks. Our webmasters appreciate the thought which has gone into making all pages easy to edit, especially as we have only a basic knowledge of HTML. Probably the best part of the whole package for us has been the constant support and help we have received from the developer of the HarmonySite package, Mark Virtue. His response time for queries and assistance is amazing and his regular communications and updates to the package most appreciated. As a barbershop club member himself, Mark has a great insight into the needs of clubs and is constantly adding new features to make the HarmonySite package the best available. Our club has been using the package for just over a year now and we can’t fault it – it’s the best decision we have taken in the last 12 months!”

Fleurieu Harmony Chorus

“HarmonySite is ideal for our purposes. It’s very user-friendly and works wells across a number of platforms, including tablets and smartphones. It’s much easier than developing a website ourselves from scratch! We love the administrator view that allows us to easily see how the site appears to members and to the public, and the integrated calendar makes it simple to share information about performances and other events. Mark and his team have been very responsive to enquiries and suggestions, and have happily made minor adjustments to better suit our needs.”

“The new website is amazing – we have some pretty clever people in our chorus. If I can get around the website, ANYONE can. Very user friendly. Can’t say enough about it. Huge thank you to everyone who did this for us. Such a wonderful learning tool. Feels like we are in the ‘big time’ now!”
