• CMS Implementation

  A content management system (CMS) is a database that authors, stores, and delivers content. Having a CMS allows greater access and flexibility for a client’s management of assets especially inside of complex websites or intranet development. All of the content in a CMS implementation such as text, graphics, video, and other assets resides in this central repository. This system allows clients to add and edit their own website content, without reliance on a 3rd party to make quick updates.

  During the CMS implementation, the centre{source} team will install and test the software, ensure that page layouts are setup properly, migrate all content, and train authors on the ongoing use and deployment of workflow rules and security settings. And unlike other agencies, we do not charge ongoing licensing fees.

• CSS Breakdown

  centre{source} utilizes Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) for your web presence. This extremely powerful language allows our design developers to make use of CSS to control the style and layout of multiple Web pages all at once to describe how documents are presented on screen. Some of the CSS benefits include: full support in almost all browsers and the ability to define custom styles and classes that allows greater focus on designing the layout of a site.

  We can take any traditional HTML web site and by applying a CSS breakdown of the site, the external style sheet saves both space and bandwidth. By using CSS on your web pages, they will load faster. People are not simply willing to wait more than 5 seconds to view your message!

• Custom Development

  centre{source} specializes in solving often-complex development for all types of websites using an open source environment. By utilizing open source toolsets and appropriate technologies, there is much greater flexibility and scalability such as updating an eCommerce site’s various categories and products.

  When our clients want to apply specific modifications to their custom web sites, the changes are easy to implement based on our choice of toolsets. The tools we use for custom development such as SVN, Trac, symfony, Doctrine, Ruby on Rails, and Drupal permits a cost effective core to deliver dependable back-end functionality. Using proprietary software options or building applications from scratch is expensive with maintenance contracts and time consuming regular updates.

  centre{source} eliminates the worry of website maintenance by allowing our clients to have total and complete control over their website while reducing significant costs of maintaining proprietary systems.
