What is eCommerce Software?
February 4th, 2010 by BrianeCommerce stands for electronic commerce and entails the buying or selling of products and services over the internet or computer network. There are many pre-packaged systems, usually referred to as “shopping carts”, that come with all the ingredients you need to setup an online store. The only problem is you need an experienced web developer and a talented web designer to make it all work. This is where custom eCommerce integration comes in. Joint Medias provides custom eCommerce integration, taking these “shopping cart” systems and providing a tailored look and feel combined with custom functionality. Please take a look below at some examples of our successful eCommerce projects.
Cosumnes Services District
January 22nd, 2010 by Ryan
The Challenge
The Cosumnes Community Services District (CSD) provides fire protection services to the cities of Elk Grove and Galt, as well as unincorporated areas in the region. Additionally, the Cosumnes CSD provides parks and recreation services to the Elk Grove community.
The CSD website was confusing in terms of content layout and navigation. They also had no way of organizing their members, class schedules or events. Joint Medias was brought on to redesign the website, develop a custom content management system and implement member and calendar.
The Results
The new CSD website had a big impact around the community and allowed the organization to increase their service options by gaining more members. Joint Medias designed a user-friendly interface complete with multi-level navigation, site-wide search functions, an online activity guide and much more.
Joint Medias also developed a full, large scale calendar in which CSD can manage events and event registration. Joint also scaled the calendar down to fit on all pages. JavaScript and AJAX was used to add interactivity to the calendar.

What is a CMS site?
November 22nd, 2009 by RyanA CMS is content management system software for creating and managing website content. So a CMS site is a website that allows website owners and administrators to create, edit and remove pages, text, images, links and more. Most systems use a database to store content and some content management systems allow the style and layout of a website to be managed. The image below is a screen shot of a CMS for a portfolio, the user can add projects, attach images, videos and audio files to the project as well as arrange the projects in categories.
At Joint Medias we build both simple and complex custom management systems with an array of different content and media types. We also implement a wide range of open source content management systems, systems built by other software developers who source code is freely available to use as necessary. If you have any comments or questions please feel free post them below.
Nfinit Solutions / Home Retention Advantage
October 17th, 2009 by Ryan
The Challenge
Nfinit Solutions is a subsidiary of the Nehemiah Corporation of America, one of the most trusted names in the real estate industry. Nehemiah has served as a catalyst for economic empowerment and wealth creation by expanding opportunities for responsible homeownership, affordable housing, and community revitalization.
In 2008 after the housing market collapsed, Nfinit wanted to reposition itself as a leader in “Home Retention” services. Their objective was to pair this latest business model with new branding and a fresh online presence. There were 4 goals that needed to be accomplished: a new brand identity, a new corporate website, a “Home Retention” website and clear separation online for both business partners and homeowners. They also needed to manage the content on both websites, coinciding with their real marketing efforts.
The Results
Joint Medias created a modern, conceptual logo for Nfinit Solutions. Their identity was expanded with style guides containing multiple color palettes and layout options. This new identity was integrated into both the corporate and “Home Retention” website designs. Both websites implement advanced user interface components, search capabilities and dynamic content. Joint Medias also developed an interactive administration panel allowing content to be shared between websites, members to be tracked and components to be managed. The “Home Retention” website was developed with two user profiles in mind, the business partner and the homeowner. Each section has its own features and content.
With the industry scrambling to turn around, Nfinit had the entire project on a timeline of two months. Joint Medias was able to complete everything in time and Nfinit has since maintained their industry leadership.
