San–Rafael-based afstudio design chose Quinn Interactive (QI) to do the content–management–system (CMS) implementation for their client, LescureCompany.com, a mechanical engineering firm. QI was to implement afstudio design’s information architecture and visual designs
QI delivered a CMS back end using SilverStripe, an open-source CMS and application framework out of New Zealand. The new site brings clear navigation and functionality to marketing and information-dense web pages.
Through several project meetings, the team determined that SilverStripe would be the best solution for the LescureCompany website because of its excellent, easy administrative back end, and the framework’s flexibility to customize pages. One notable feature was 3D animated tours of mechanical systems, a hallmark skill-set of afstudio design. QI chose a lightbox feature to best present the animations. SilverStripe’s flexibility allows for added features such as the lightbox, adding visually rich and specific information to an organization’s marketing efforts.
Quinn Interactive can partner with design firms, such as afstudio design, as well as with individual designers. Working as part of a team, QI has been comfortable in the role of project lead, offering efficient technical design, project management, fast implementation and ongoing site support. As well, QI has enjoyed the supporting role of implementing site and visual designs, adding value when necessary to all phases of a project. QI’s 15 years of experience has lent superior support to all website deliverables.
There a many different ways to look at this. But I think you have some very valid points here.
