Sitefinity and Beyond

Tuesday, August 10, 2010

The Trump Network, KIA Motors, Kraft Foods, Quaker Oats, Vogue, Chevron and Diesel Web Productions all have one thing in common, they use Sitefinity.  What does that mean for a website owner, or someone that is seeking a high quality web presence?  It means, pre-made and ready to use add-ons, faster turnaround time for web projects, a visually stunning and intuitive interface but most importantly, the most effective way to manage and organize high volume data.  

A site built with Sitefinity is already geared for any future technological updates, because the Sitefinity team is tuned into the web development community.  They are constantly optimizing their tools and staying ahead of the competition by having their development fueled by their user’s feedback.  It also offers smooth Google analytics integration and more advanced security features.

For those of you that are interested in marketing your website then you should know that a Sitefinity built website is optimized for search engines.  One of the great SEO features are the ability to auto create an XML Sitemap which makes it very simple to submit to the search engines.  There are also hundreds of custom controls available on the internet that makes search engine optimization and marketing simple, easy to manage and effective to use.

Social media is built in with tools that make it easy to update RSS feeds, Twitter updates and blogs.  This is one of the best development tools for generating traffic and link building.  If you are interested in reducing the cost of marketing then having your site built by a company that uses Sitefinity is the best strategy for the upcoming years.

OK, to reiterate what all of the hoopla and hubba is about:

Sitefinity is a development platform that is used to manage websites.  It was built based on the ideas of WEB 2.0 and is one of the most flexible architectures available on the market.  

Nice things for the web developer:

• It is customizable 
• Integrates ASP.NET custom modules and controls
• Supports Multiple Databases

What this means for you, the website owner:

• Page edits can be as easy as drag and drop
• Add on modules for Blogging, Lists, Voting, News Feeds
• SEO Marketing made easy

In conclusion, web development teams that have chosen to use Sitefinity for their projects are smarter than the average developer.  Most often they will not only be highly intelligent, but super friendly and just genuinely good people.  They really are smarter though, because they are positioned for any advancements and additions for the next ten years.  As technology updates, faster than teenager’s Twitter feeds, these developers will be ahead of the others.  So if you want to make the other websites jealous, then select a development team that uses Sitefinity.
