Agerica: The Snapshot

Agerica wanted a site to market their services that they could manage themselves. Adrenaline adapted to their design and built the site using a scalable Content Management System with custom developed administration sections for specific features.

Adrenaline helped create the web site by:

Building the site with a Content Management System so Agerica can update the site themselves
Recommending a professional, client managed hosting package
Designing custom graphics for a preset layout
Designing a custom Navigation system for a preset layout
Customizing the Administration system for the specific needs of the site
Creating the foundation for a Blog to be used in the future
Implementing a Commenting system for the Blog

The Full Picture

Agerica engaged Adrenaline to built a simple, manageable site to showcase their consulting, technical, and training services. In addition, Agerica wanted to launch a blog in the future and Adrenaline developed the foundation for the blog to be launched at their discretion.

The Toolbox

Adrenaline used the following key elements for the website:

A Content Management System

The Content Management System

A content management system, often referred to as a CMS, is a system that allows individuals who are not programmers to manage the content of the web site. Tasks include change, add, and delete content (text and graphic) as well as add or remove pages as needed. This is done by logging into the system through a browser. The content management is simple and quick, making changes much like you would if you were editing a Word document. With an hours worth of training, anyone can manage the content of a web site using the CMS we designed. The CMS model empowers our clients and allows them to make changes quickly and easily without additional costs. Alternately some clients prefer that we make changes. Our CMS speeds up those changes and saves costs in this model as well.

Content Management Systems also serve as a base to introduce customized functionality. In the case of Agerica we developed a second column management system and blog that is administered within the CMS.

Because the system abstracts content from presentation, another great benefit of using a CMS is that should an organization opt for a new design there is no need to start from the ground up and redo the entire site. We are able to program a new look and use the existing content as well as easily modify the existing content. It's a return on investment that you may not see immediately, but over time it will pay for itself over and over again.
