If you have a "techy" side to you and are curious about how we create our websites, read on.

Our web sites are made up of four types of building blocks. These building blocks are combined in various ways to create a web site that best meets your unique needs.

In order to manage cost, many of these building blocks are reused on many different sites. Don’t think that this means that your site will be a carbon copy of other sites. At Project Complete, every site is unique. This uniqueness is accomplished by the way the blocks are combined and the unique styles that are applied to each. This is a brief synopsis of the four building blocks we use.

Framework

All of our websites are based on the industry standard web framework: DotNetNuke®. This web framework comes “off the shelf” with all of the tools necessary to render and maintain an exciting and dynamic web presence. In addition, your company's content administrators can modify the content of the site at any time, from anywhere in the world with nothing more than an Internet connection and a browser.

Skin

The site skin provides the structure and style that reflects your company's identity. The basic layout, header, color scheme, menu and many of the graphics you see on this site make up its skin. Skin design is tightly aligned with your company’s identity. This means that your site’s “look and feel” will be consistent with your company’s marketing persona.

The compelling thing about our approach is that we can modify the skin without touching the information content.

Container

Containers provide structure and style for a subset of the information on a web page. This blog applications place inside a container.

Modules

Modules provide the technological display and interaction mechanism for your company's website content. The most basic module on any of our websites is the Text/HTML module. In addition to displaying the content, it provides the mechanisms for administrators to modify the content from anywhere in the world with nothing more than a standard web browser. Additionally, it provides the control mechanisms that determine who sees the content and for how long.

The entire function of this blog including the search and archive functions are implemented as modules.
