Engaging Netways for becoming internet bodies |
What are your organization’s goals? For your web project, we collaborate with you to articulate a list of objectives that will contribute to achieving those goals.
Next, we generate a list of web site features that meet these objectives, together with a project price.
Then, with the scope of the project agreed, Engaging begins implementation, which usually involves:
Engaging uses these popular standards:
Switch to ExpressionEngineThe ExpressionEngine web publishing system is at last getting the recognition it deserves. It’s an “impressive package”, writes Ted Demopoulos, co-author of Blogging for Business, while Wikipedia describes it as “one of the leading content management systems currently available”.
Until now there have only been two ways to build a new site with EE or move an existing site onto the system, whether your own or a client’s. Either you do it yourself, learning as you go and relying on the support forum, or you have an experienced EE developer such as Engaging do the EE implementation for you.
With Switch to ExpressionEngine, there’s now a third way. We don’t do it, you do it, but we guide you and stay by your side until the job is done. Using switch2ee you learn the system and keep your outsourcing costs down yet gain the benefit of having an experienced EE developer on your team.
Engaging Net is glad to work for other web professionals.
Usually tapped to design, develop and deploy the content-management side of things, we’ve worked with:
We write your copy with economy and verve or can help tighten your own.
We hired Adam because his skill at architecting our diverse information and mapping our feature requirements to Expression Engine was immediately apparent. He did a fabulous job unlocking us from our Joomla shackles and putting us on a platform that will allow our site to serve our customers more effectively. He was extremely responsive and offered skilled insight to our concerns and offered valuable input that guided us throughout the development process. Would highly recommend Adam to anyone who needs to quickly get an EE site off the ground.

Coral Ridge Church launches new web siteNow online at crpc.org, Coral Ridge Presbyterian Church’s new web site is authored by the church’s staff, with multimedia content such as audio files, photos, billboards and PDF documents as well as web-native news, events, activities and more. Engaging was tapped by WebLadyBug of Fort Lauderdale, FL to collaborate on designing and developing the content-managed site. Coral Ridge is the founding church of the Evangelism Explosion movement, which now has a presence in every nation of the world.
Bestnetworksecurity.com switches from Joomla to ExpressionEngineBestNetworkSecurity, a web site selling network security products and expertise, was running on the Joomla content management system and perplexing not only its users but even its owners. The site had various types of content, including products, vendors, seminars and articles, but all were being handled the same way. Things should be as simple as they can be, as a wise man once said, but no simpler. With the conversion to ExpressionEngine, we added enough complexity to the site architecture to simplify both its maintenance for the owners and its navigation for users.
Extreme Elements TV quits Joomla for ExpressionEngineSince Engaging doesn’t work with any content management system other than ExpressionEngine, it’s hard to say for sure whether it’s the best. But Florida-based Extreme Elements does—or rather, did: While Engaging built one site in EE for the adventure travel company, another agency built a second site in Joomla. After about a year Extreme Elements principal Paul Caswell threw in the towel with Joomla and asked Engaging to redo that second site, extremeelements.tv, in ExpressionEngine.
Engaging scripts “amazing” date-based calculatorJavaScript is touted as a disruptive technology: many tasks previously done within desktop applications are now more easily doable for JavaScript-enabled web browsers. We’ve known this was coming—it’s why Microsoft was so desperate to kill Netscape, because it feared the web browser would become the new desktop—but like all technological revolutions, the change has come more slowly than we all thought. Here’s an extremely modest example of client-side programming that Engaging was asked to build.
The subtle differences among web browsers can make producing HTML and CSS for a web site tedious and time-consuming. In particular, Microsoft’s Internet Explorer 6, which dominated the market longer than it should have, creates problems for CSS coders because it has a number of insidious bugs and does not support some important CSS directives. Web pages that render properly on less popular but more standards-compliant and modern browers, such as Firefox, do not render properly on the older IE6 (or sometimes even the new IE7 for that matter).
Extreme Elements now blazingly staticAs both a travel store and a sports media destination, traffic at extremeelements.com spikes during competition time. With the new site’s complex pages her first outing was a disappointment, the server frequently becoming overwhelmed and collapsing. A workaround entitled “publish static” now provides a blazingly fast, stable site and at least one added benefit besides.
“Perfect” new content management system for fabric fashion siteWithout a content management system, maintaining the relatively simple Carolyn Strauss Collection website had become cumbersome and time-consuming. Vector Computer Consulting sought “a way to automate this process with a Content Management System (CMS) that can take care of the entire process of uploading, resizing, and adding collections to the navigation lists.” Engaging provided a solution, and upon trying it Vector principal Matt Weinberg christened it “perfect”.
Archaeological Center auction #40 biggest yetBecause this Archaeological Center auction was so unusually large, the printed catalog could not be delivered to international bidders in time, so they relied on the website alone to view lots and make pre-auction bids on them.
