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.

The Technology

MSSQL Database, Access DB, ASP.NET, XHTML, CSS. JavaScript, JQuery, AJAX




What is a CMS site?

Sunday, November 22nd, 2009 by Ryan

A 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.
