The Tibetan Language Institute has been advancing the preservation of the Tibetan language, literature, and culture through the teaching of the Tibetan language since 1996. They ran all their language courses through a teleconference setup, had manual “store” setup of detailed product listings, and they operated a HTML website that was rich in information but that had long outgrown its complex structure and hard coded set up. They had no tracking of website activity or online sales. They wanted to greatly expand their reach to new students interested in studying the Classical Tibetan language.
“Working with Julie Thorner and her staff at Liquid Spark has been a complete joy!
Our Tibetan Language Institute website was very out-of-date and was hindering our ability to reach our target audience in a meaningful way. We had worked with other web designers, each time not completing the task due to our unmet vision of what our site should provide its visitors. In addition, our teaching platform—teleconference meetings—was also a major obstacle to our teaching and our students. We needed a change, but were unclear where to start.
Then we had the good fortune to meet Julie. With seeming boundless enthusiasm and expert skills, Julie and her team set out to bring the Tibetan Language Institute into the 21st century by both designing a new website and by tutoring our team on the mechanics of teaching a quality program via Zoom webinar. This was a complex undertaking by Liquid Spark, one that they consistently met with expertise, kindness, and cheerful patience when we had trouble understanding technical issues.
We are truly delighted with TLI’s new website, our online sales and enrollment have increased with each passing day.It feels like the dawn of a new era for us. What an enormous help to our nonprofit.
We at TLI are so happy with the results of our collaboration with LS—a true blessing. We highly recommend this organization.”
