Portfolio:  Content Management Systems (CMS)

At some point a line is crossed where maintaining a website can't be elegantly handled through direct editing of every page.  That's when a website with an underlying database makes sense.  

The most common reasons to implement a Content Management System include:
  • Ability for the client to edit their website directly
  • The need for visitors to become members with login functionality
  • Integration with Social Media
  • Tremendous functionality at a very low cost
We focus the vast majority of this type of website using the WordPress Content Management System.  You will see examples of custom developed sites as well.

"Ah.  Yes.  In good hands: your hands!"

"I would like you to know that our working relationship over the last 3 years has meant so much to me.  When I first began working with Influence, I only had an idea for a website and you and your team helped make that into a reality for me.  I am so proud of the EnnouncementCards website and you were such a big part of that.  I was also very new to this business then (and still am) and made many mistakes along the way.  Each time, you helped me fix those mistakes - and did so always without judgement and always with kindness and compassion, which spoke volumes to me about who you are both as a professional and as a person."
