Corporate Site Development
Solid’s programming staff originally built their own Java-based content management system. The system became unsustainable when the programmers left the company. Our initial engagement was to evaluate the situation and suggest solutions, and we recommended converting the site into flat HTML site, www.solidtech.com, until their content management needs could be fully quantified. After a year of research, Solid is now ready to resurrect a template-based site, and they have selected our XML content management tool UniDox. We host the site on a dedicated server at our AT&T co-location facility.

Satellite Site
We believe that one of the best ways to build leadership on the Web is to create satellite sites that feature targeted content, discussion and news about very specific subjects. Solid agrees, and we have recently completed their satellite site, www.distributeddatamanagement.com. The site is rich with links, white papers, and event calendars, demonstrating Solid’s leadership in the field. In addition, it serves as a magnet for search engine spiders, drawing additional traffic to the corporate site in this prime example of search engine marketing.

Search Engine Marketing
Solid’s marketplace is small, competitive, and esoteric. They need to be sure potential customers know about them and their leading products any time they search on the Web. We have increased Solid’s traffic and sales leads significantly through search engine optimization and marketing tactics. In addition to the satellite site described above, we have helped Solid configure their corporate site, and embarked on a search term purchase program. Where before relevant search term searches didn’t list Solid within the first four pages, they now show up within the first four listings on the first page.
