It
wasn’t long ago that a website contained merely words and
images. The web was simple back then, as terrible dial-up meant
people had a hard enough time dealing with just the basics. Then,
almost out of nowhere, things got interesting. We lived through the
exciting early days of Web 2.0 and AJAX, then we hyper focused on
community, which all bled into mobile. Nowadays, it’s not
simple to build “just a website”. Multi-platform
content, social/community features, video, API’s, mobile,
analytics and accessibility are just a few items on the growing list
of "must-haves" for building a site in 2011. If you're not
sure what's important, you're looking at an extremely painful and
expensive process.
This panel of hardened
interactive veterans will attempt to debunk the myths and shed some
light on where to focus when embarking on a site build nowadays.
Luckily, we’ve helped others through the trenches, so things
like mobile API’s, HTML 5, user generated and geo-social
content are our specialty.
Agility is a
cloud-based content management system which allows you to manage
content across all digital channels including your website, mobile
site, mobile apps, and social media pages from a single
browser-based interface. Agility integrates with best-of-breed
solutions and can be implemented with an internal development team,
or by working with their implementation partners. Agility is
based in Toronto Canada and is running sites for Uncle Ben’s,
Campbells, Subaru and Whiskas.
Agility’s team
is bringing notable panelists from different backgrounds to give
attendees a greater overview. Participants will include:
