Additionally, the information architecture needed to focus on visitor needs, while working with many internal organizational demands. Another business goal was to track site activity more efficiently in order to make more informed business and marketing decisions.

The Episcopal Diocese of Ohio oversees the 95 parishes, churches, and facilities in the northern half of the state, including Bellwether Farm, a camp, retreat, and working farm located far west of Cleveland. They wanted a user-friendly system to manage their website. It was crucial to provide them with a system that could natively hit a wide array of use cases for events, content, programs, integrations, and eventually e-commerce. To Bellwether Farm, Kentico means reliability and accountability. It’s important that Kentico is a flexible framework for content control, permissions, and workflows.

Tilson is a technology and telecommunications services company with offices around the US. As they were experiencing rapid growth, they wanted their online presence to better reflect the level of innovation and expertise shown in their large-scale projects. Tilson’s previous website could only be updated by the IT department but, now, their marketing department can update the website thanks to Kentico’s flexibility and ease of use. Admins’ life is much easier due, especially, to the utilization of Kentico widgets, as they can add or remove virtually any widget to/from any page, select theme colors, add photos or not, lay out one, two, or three columns, and easily create and customize new pages and articles.

Aspena has been in the market since 1995 and they have seven branch offices in four countries. Their new website needed to reflect all this. To satisfy a broad range of clients, the website has four language variants—Czech, English, German, and Slovak. The website was finished in six weeks and content filling took four weeks.
