Customized Site Program

For larger libraries and library districts, we offer a Customized Site program where we develop a website that can be hosted on internal servers and maintained by their technology staffs should they desire this. These websites include significant amounts of customized page graphics and features that enhance online community building.

Each Customized Site can be purchased with an affordable annual support contract that includes secure hosting. Our support includes continuous updating of our core technologies and features, eliminating the need to periodically replace the site or invest heavily in new technology upgrades. This option eliminates the need for in-house technology resources.

The Customized Site program is an affordable alternative to creating new website requirements, site design, and programming. The program delivers a website with the latest features that optimize the evolving potential of Web 2.0. Additional features and capacities can be added, based on particular needs.

Our Customized Site program integrates a refined global site design tailored to the needs of public libraries with customized graphic design that reflects the unique nature of each library and the community it serves. It is designed to grow with the changing needs of libraries and the increasing capabilities of web technology.

The Customized Site program includes these powerful features:

• Ease of administration – using a customized interface based on the Druple open source Content Management System – add and edit copy, media files, slide presentations, etc.
• Site search capabilities
• Custom Graphic Design elements- General content pages and 2 additional treatments for sections such as “children”, “teens”, or “seniors”
• Staff authored Blogs
• Event Calendars
• RSS Feed Aggregation
