Chattanooga Online launched a major revision of the Cleveland/Bradley Chamber of Commerce website on April 10, 2008. Working with one of our hosting customers, Sue Lowery of Lowery Design , we adapted Sue's graphic design and built a template framework for the Joomla Content Management System .

Adding a front page slideshow and a Community Calendar, we ported all of the content from the old static HTML site and built a search-engine-friendly URL system to preserve their page locations, which protects the strength of their current search engine rankings.

• Chamber staffers can now add Press Releases and web links, upload images and PDF's, can update their staff contact information easily, and can edit any of the site pages immediately via a web-based editor.
• Members of the community can submit their own calendar events, which are held in an editing queue until Chamber site administrators approve and publish them.

If you don't need the power of a full-blown Content Management System, and want a site that's easier to manage, WordPress is a great choice. We have found it's just right for small businesses , churches and non-profit or service organizations. 

Wordpress can also be combined with an existing website to add news, weblink and weblog functions.

New site for the southeast's preferred source for custom Euro-style cabinets

Chattanooga Online worked with Mike Norcia and Kimberly Stewart of Norcia Fine Cabinetry to produce a web presence befitting of Norcia's reputation for quality and style.

If you've read anything at all about Content Management Systems (CMS), you'll probably know that CMS are the most exciting way to do business. You also know at least three other things:

• Keeping your site relevant and up-to-date can be time consuming
• CMS can be complicated
• Portals can be expensive

Chattanooga Online is set to change all that.
