Portfolio- Ektron Content Management System - BDL Group PLC

BDL Group provide plastering, dry lining, screeding and other sub-contract services to the construction industry.

BDL's existing site was well coded, but did not reflect the size or professionalism of the company. BDL Group commissioned WyeTec to produce a site with a more corporate feel that was able to serve their needs both now, and in the future.

Project overview:

Based on an Ektron content management system, the BDL website presents details of the building contract services on offer, it showcases current and previous projects, and it provides a portal for attracting new contracts – and contractors.

After an initial consultation, it was clear that the Ektron CMS400.Net Content Management System was the right choice for BDL. The requirements included:

BDL Group web authors being able to update the site themselves
A dynamic "latest news" feature
Site search facility
Ability to showcase new projects
Foreign language support

Powering the website is an Ektron content management system, giving controlled access to all website content, and empowering BDL personnel to author content autonomously (without the need to call on the services of a web developer.)

Additionally, we utilised some of the powerful new features offered by the Ektron CMS – such as the enhanced META data handling and the "Web Alerts" feature, whereby subscribers to the site can automatically receive notifications when new content is published.

Professional photography and copy contributed considerably to add to the overall impact the site makes.

To make the most of the content management system and to aid site administration, the web site is hosted on one of WyeTec's powerful low-contention web servers. Automated off-site back-ups ensure the ongoing safety and security of BDL's data.

And how did BDL Group feel about working with WyeTec on this project? Their IT Manager said, quite simply:

"Thanks for all your help, it's been a pleasure working with you."
