Partnering with Visual Designers on a Content Management System

The Client & Challenge

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.

Content Management

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.
