SteadyRain Empowers The Women's Journals To Manage Their Magazine Online

Online, August 31, 2010 (Newswire.com) - St. Louis based Internet strategy, design and development firm, SteadyRain announces an exciting new look and feel to St. Louis-based Women's Journals magazines digital landscape.

SteadyRain has reengineered www.Womens-Journals.com with a crisp new design boasting social media integration on the front page. To power this site, SteadyRain integrated their previously existing sites with the power of Windows-based, open-source, content management system DotNetNuke.

The Women's Journals, already having had a preexisting web presence with many inbound links from advertising partners, authors, blogs, and friend sites within the women's health community they needed to ensure and maintain these URLs as they moved forward with their new Internet Strategy. Keeping these links active despite a consolidation of content from the old St. Charles and St. Louis sites onto a single domain, maintaining continued support for each, was a challenge the SteadyRain team was ready to meet.

The solution SteadyRain provided was a legacy URL support system for all previously published site page URLs as well as article URLs for all previous domains that were in use. This was a two-fold solution, first, it allows for permanent URL redirection from the old link to its new location and, second, it allows all URLs to retain link value and authority built on these previous domains to flow into the Women's Journals new locations.

"SteadyRain does live up to their reputation, no detail was overlooked, from the beginning I knew we were in good hands. Comparing the solution they provided with our previous website is a night and day difference. I know the amount of time and effort we save from no longer struggling with our website is becoming noticeable to our readers," said Kristin Pendleton, Publisher and Co-owner.

The reenergizing of the new Women's Journals site also included rebuilding the "Our Community" section of the site into a fully-dynamic, database-driven directory that the team there could manage themselves. This improvement makes that section of the site more accessible and easily navigable to visitors interested in supporting the local businesses that support the Women's Journals.

SteadyRain also improved the site and archive search functions within the new site. With the new features, SteadyRain has enabled visitors to not only search the text of the site itself but the content of the archived magazine articles that are stored on the site in PDF format as well. This centralizes all search within the ever-present search box, while always returning a single result set based on both sets of data-website content and article archive content.

"We chased Kristin for nearly a year in the hopes of providing her a robust, DotNetNuke solution. After spending time talking through the pain she experienced with her current solution, I knew that we could deliver something that would give her editorial the same freedoms they have in their printed magazine. Both Kristin and Susan are ecstatic with the results of our partnership and with our upcoming participation in their journal bringing Internet strategy to their expanding audience." said Thompson Knox, Vice President of Internet Strategy.

SteadyRain continues to bring a high level personalized of service, development, and attention to every project they take on; avoiding cookie cutter solutions, they pride themselves in their ability to think outside the box and to address each client uniquely.
