Platform Agnostic
We always start an engagement being platform agnostic. Our focus is on providing the most positive user experience and ultimately, the greatest engagement. We leave platform preferences behind and focus on the needs of the solution – every time. In this case, WordPress is the clear choice.
Transitioning a Platform
Being platform agnostic has also afforded us the opportunity to develop against a broad range of platform solutions, so we have a unique perspective on how they best integrate with both our client objectives, legacy systems and existing technology needs. We can operationalize very quickly to transition at a pace that fits your needs, whether being market-ready for launch, transitioning, or building longer-term pathways to update your ecosystem in the future.
We select technology to support and enhance our solutions rather than being limited by it.

Platform Considerations
Our core considerations when evaluating any platform is based on what we consider best in class practices including flexibility, a strong developer community, a rich set of plugins and modules, support for advanced SEO and ease of use for content managers. We grouped the considerations into four key criteria:
CMS Flexibility
The CMS platform must be flexible, technically robust, easy for a broad range of employees to use, and offer a rich selection of plugins and developer support.
Talking to the Outside World
The platform must provide the means to integrate with other software and IT systems. The CMS platform should provide an easy means to integrate via API calls with any third party service such as single sign-on services or CRM integrations.
Security
The selected platform must be supported by its community of developers who actively participate in continual updates and security patches. The platform security criteria will be further informed by any IT protocols and requirements which may already be established.
SEO
The CMS must provide in-depth support for best in class SEO capabilities, including URL optimization and customizable metadata for all pages/site content. Given how fast this is evolving, we need a CMS that can keep up with our requirements. Backend performance of the CMS must provide delivery of pages and site content at SEO-optimized speeds.
