Custom Content Management System Solutions

The Microtechs specializes in custom CMS solutions that our clients can manage themselves, without any need for hired help. We help keep your business indepedent, so that you’ll never need to rely on our business to run your business.

A Content Management System, like WordPress or Joomla, will make it so that your website can be managed with an easy-to-use back-end dashboard. Larger websites that have more business needs will typically call for a Joomla system, while smaller websites that have fewer feature-rich website and database needs are usually well served by WordPress. Whichever platform we recommend, every website is custom-designed for your brand and target audience.

PageBuilder


The PageBuiler is a visual drag-and-drop, point-and-click editor with which we build our custom styling and designs. Every project includes the PageBuilder, so your team can edit and manage every aspect our of custom-designed styling and layouts. Hard-coded templates and themes would make your website obsoltete virtually the moment it is released. As they do not auto-update, no matter how much work we put into a hard-coded theme, it would be out-of-date and miss crucial newly released browser, Html and CSS tools and .js releases. Building our custom-styles with the UIKit and PageBuilder, your team will have an Open Source framework that updates automatically and stays current over the years. Admins can easily add elements, new sections, and even save their most used layouts and content to re-use on other pages. This eliminates any need to learn custom CSS classes and Html, making managing your website, it’s design and layout easy and simple to edit, save and reproduce.

Experts in Web Design

As web designers and developers specializing in business websites, we bring a unique blend of creativity, technical expertise, and a deep understanding of platforms like Joomla, WordPress, and Shopify. Our goal is to empower businesses with visually stunning, user-friendly websites that drive results.

One of our key strengths lies in creating websites with a visual PageBuilder interface, allowing admins to easily edit the site visually using drag-and-drop functionality. This empowers businesses to make real-time updates to their websites without the need for technical expertise. In addition, we have extensive experience in API integration for CRMs like SalesForce and Zoho, ensuring seamless connectivity between the website and these essential business tools.

Furthermore, we can integrate with email marketing platforms like MailChimp and donation platforms such as ActBlue or other payment solutions, enabling businesses to streamline their operations and maximize their online presence. Notably, our approach to pricing sets us apart. We believe in transparency and simplicity, which is why we quote flat rates instead of hourly rates. This ensures that clients know exactly what to expect without worrying about costs spiraling out of control. We are committed to providing exceptional value and peace of mind to our clients.

Our expertise in platforms like Joomla, WordPress, and Shopify, coupled with emphasis on user-friendly design and seamless integrations, makes us the ideal partner for businesses looking to elevate their online presence.

Responsive Design

We design for your user. UI and UX is incredibly important. Responsive Design means all of your content will adapt for the size of your user’s screen. With the PageBuilder, you can control the layout and hide or display elements for specific devices and screen sizes to ensure your users get the best possible user experience with their device.

The UIKit

UIkit is a lightweight and modular front-end framework for developing fast and powerful web interfaces. If you do want to learn exactly what makes our custom themes and templates tick, and have a team that wants to explore advanced tools and abilities, all of our custom-designed websites utilize The UIKit. You can modify our styling with less or sass. To include UIkit in your project’s build workflow, you need to import three SCSS files from UIkit in the correct order into in your own SCSS code. Then, compile your file, e.g. running sass site.scss > site.css or any other Sass compiler. Be careful to keep the correct order as described in the following example. To prevent overhead selectors, we use Mixins from Sass, which hook into predefined selectors from the UIkit source and inject additional properties. Selectors don’t have to be repeated throughout all documents and global changes can be made much more easily.

Web Applications


Custom Items can be built and integrated with your database. With your items consisting of database tables for each attribute of the item, each table can have it’s own access level settings, and be imported or exported via CSV or JSON. Items can belong to a Primary Category, as well as multiple categories belonging to many different category trees. We’ve built Product Catalogs, Directories, even very custom Web Applications like that for the Homestand Games of the Oakland Athletics. In that example, each item is a baseball game played at the home stadium. Custom data that is relevent only to staff is streamed into widgets, the category, search results, calendar or to the full detail page. Data that is restricted to specific levels of access will only show to users who are logged-in with that level or higher. Many websites block entire items or pages, but we can set specific elements of an item to have their own access levels. For inter-active website applications, submission forms can be created so that Admins and Front-End users can create their own content. A common use of this would be for a user profile or business listing. Here, the front-end has a submission form that allows the user to fill out or select the Name/Item Title, Category/Categories, Related Items, Image, Text Area, Possibly a Phone Number and Email Address, etc. Administators can import this data in bulk with CSV or JSON, but the inter-active functionality allows users to add items of their own. This is perfect for Community Social Networking websites, Business Directories, Classified Craigslist-Style Marketplace Listings, Store Locations and more.
