Expanding Marketing Communications Company Now Offers Self-Managed Websites
ImageSmith designs and develops customized websites utilizing DotNetNuke, a web application built within the Microsoft ASP.NET framework. Until recently, content management systems weremostly proprietary and available only to big corporations with impressive budgets. Today these systems open up a whole new level of control to any website owner wanting to manage and update their website content themselves.
Company president Mary Smith states that ImageSmith chose the DotNetNuke framework for its rich features and high level of extensibility. “We believe that DotNetNuke provides a comprehensive toolset while still being easy to use for the non-technical person,” says Smith. “Let me put it this way: If you can use a word processing program, you can update a website built by ImageSmith.”
Smith goes on to add that DotNetNuke is ideal for creating and deploying commercial websites, blogs, online product catalogs, galleries, corporate intranets, and eCommerce solutions. ImageSmith can either build a new website from scratch or pull an existing site into the DotNetNuke framework without losing any design or functional features.
The addition of web development is just the latest endeavor in ImageSmith’s recent expansion. Their newly built 21,000 square foot office and production facility houses a classroom/training labwith individual workstations for web instruction and hands-on learning. Customers can provide training sessions for their staff, and learn live, on-line, how easy it can be to manage their websitecontent.
Smith points out that the customer-controlled scenario is now the gold standard in web development. “Who wouldn’t want a simple and affordable alternative to an expensive website maintenance contract?”
