African Directory Services Sponsors Durban Beach Shelter with a Website!
African Directory Services (ADS) has sponsored the Durban Beach Shelter with a free website. ADS designed a brand new website and logo for the non-profit organization. The Durban Beach Shelter was established in 1998 by Mr. Deen Mohamed. The primary focus of the shelter is to enhance the lives of the underprivileged and destitute through a variety of programs therefore assisting them in becoming independent and sustainable as well as giving them access to education and social welfare. The question that ADS was faced with is, what do you give an organization that’s in dire need of funding? A website of course! Shane Hiralall a Director at African Directory Services said, “We’re living in a 'tech-era' where everything is online, instant and millions of people turn to the internet as the first source for information. The only way that people know an organization exists is if they are listed online. If it's not found on the net, chances are that many people are not knowledgeable about it and as a result of that, are not likely to donate to your cause.” As the costs of basic necessities continue to rise, the expense of developing and maintaining a website is a luxury for Charity Organizations. This is why African Directory Services took the decision to develop and host a brand new website for the Durban Beach Shelter. ADS has exceptional web design and hosting services and as a company we are thrilled that we could assist the Durban Beach Shelter. We encourage you to donate to their worthy cause.

Amanda Sibiya, a student from the Centre for Fine Art, Animation and Graphic Design studying towards her Multimedia Diploma was the first intern to enter into the ADSlive Internship Programme. We sat down with Amanda to hear what she had to say about her internship experience. Q: What are your thoughts on the ADSlive Internship Programme? A: I enjoyed it a lot, it was really nice. I didn’t feel like it was an internship because I felt like a real employee. I got the chance to do real work and had to deal with real clients. I was responsible for the graphic design work done for my clients and I enjoyed that responsibility. Q: Has it helped you? A: Yes it has, drastically so. I’ve learnt so much. Even though we’ve been taught how to use Photoshop at school I’ve learnt how to improve my skills through this internship, I actually apply that knowledge in my school projects and it’s helping a lot. I’ve also learnt a great deal about work processes and how to go about starting a project from a concept to the end product. Q: Did you find any differences between …

Director Ruben Ackerman said, “ADS has been trading for 7 years to date and has built up a significant client base that we are one hundred percent loyal to, delivering advertising excellence.

Fundamentally, this leads to various negative implications for a company’s reputation and brand. African Directory Services prides itself in delivering quality products and services to their customers and will never try to con clients out of their money, or make a promise that they cannot deliver on. ADS cautions clients to be vigilant of fly by night companies.
