Level 33 specializes in the design and development of websites for the small to medium business. The number one goal of a website built by Level 33 is to put the power in the hands of the Client. Often times a web development agency quotes thousands and thousands of dollars to build a site and a large chunk of that money is content entry. We minimizes this cost by using two main web technologies: DotNetNuke (DNN) Content Management System and Dreamweaver Web Templates.
Dreamweaver Web Templates are...
a fantastic time-saving tool. They allow Level 33 to create a set of template web documents that comprise the basic design and layout of your website. These templates then allow the client to modify the content of each page, add new pages, or delete existing pages within the site. Because of the way the templates work, the core layout and design is locked and uneditable by the end user.
Once the web templates are created, the end user will use Adobe Contribute to edit and maintain the site. Contribute will simplify the editing process by enabling content contributors to update multiple websites and blogs from a single application without learning HTML. Take advantage of improved rendering compatibility with Adobe® Dreamweaver® software. True WYSIWYG authoring capabilities make it easy to publish new or update existing content in three simple steps: Just browse to the website or blog, make the changes, and click Publish.
This type of site is recommended for small to medium sites containing text, links and images. There is no other pre-built functionality such as Blogs, Forums, document repository, etc. If your site needs these features, you should strongly consider going withe DotNetNuke CMS framework described below.
