Mini-Makeover for Philadelphia Sinfonia
In 2003, Shovi Websites took over the management of the Philadelphia Sinfonia youth orchestra website, and enabled some simple self-management tools so the client could keep their concert schedule and other time-sensitive information up to date.
Years later, newer browsers and operating systems rendered these content management tools obsolete, so we offered to upgrade the back-end of their website to run off our Website Content Manager platform.
While this wasn't a complete makeover, the project opened the door to eventually update the front-end of the website at the appropriate time, and take advantage of the WCM's flexible framework to streamline their concert schedule content, member email communication and more.
The orchestra is currently in the middle of an amazing concert season, so we coordinated the upgrades in a way that had virtually zero downtime...a critical issue given there's a concert this weekend!
