"...Take "content is king."

It’s a phrase close to my heart, given the business I’m in. But, it’s so overused no one pays attention to it..."

Featured Bespoke Drupal Website Design and Dev: PasoFino Dance Studio

Sun, 30 May 2010 17:47:32 +0000

After many months of fun working with Jose Maldonado, Lucy Lu and some of the other team members-the website for PasoFino Dance Studio is rolling and even hit a traffic spike in the first few days. Thankfully 24/7 hosting support came in for the save with a server upgrade.

What were the key ingredients to this?

Design-wise:

Lively
Passionate
Action-Encouraging

Development-wise:

Drupal setup and back-end dev with customized modules
Rich front-end development on the theme level
Extensive and dynamic Flash integration

What did the company get out of this beautiful, engaging, brand spankin' new website?

Thousands of views in the first few days following launch
40% of traffic coming from organic Search Engine Optimization techniques and Drupal modules
Drupal's Ubercart (eCommerce module) connected to PayPal
Increased content update productivity via Drupal's out of box Content Manager for blog/page/product updates and community contributed module Content Construction Kit for parent category organization
Full fledged user management system with custom user roles access
- Flexibility for Online Class user access (user role upgrade via Ubercart payment then video presentation via Embedded Media field module)
Email management via Simplenews Drupal module
Increased image features and decreased server load with ImageCache module
WYSIWYG (what you see is what you get) content updating with CKeditor (as easy as using Microsoft Word)
Innovative dance community interaction, leading to increased loyalty

That finalizes the list of key features. Some of the unmentioned modules/module groups still holding hand in the site includes Tables API, Mail, Token, uBrowser, Workflow-ng and Drupal core modules.

Now the important part-what do you think about the website? do you need a equally magnificent site? Hit us up by click here.

We hope you enjoyed our attempt at a prank at the beginning of the month. Sorry there has not been many updates...we have recently engaged into a 6 month agreement with Turner Broadcasting System. As thus, concentration has been moved away from the blog for a bit.

Today we would like to share an insightful testimonial with you:

"...I'm a strong believer everything happens for a reason. While frustrating about the server, it is pushing me to consider hosting with you.

I asked so many people about all of this last year, and was dumbfounded how few people seem to understand the details of what is needed to properly do e-commerce. I welcome any insights you can offer..."
