From a user experience viewpoint, we decided to take the Ektron path thanks to it already being known as a strategic tool within the Lloyds Group, as well as my past experience with the CMS.”

“Another reason we went with Ektron is that it allows us to easily manage content. Plus, Ektron allows us to create unique, personalized pages for our franchisees while maintaining the RAMS brand.”

At the technical level, we wanted to be able to integrate our marketing into one central pillar on which we could hang all our other tactical marketing activities."

"We're a small association; we only have 13 full-time staff. We could not be there 24/7 when a mother would be online looking for information for options for their child. The website had to be easy to use, easy to navigate and easy to find information.”

“We want developers to have a unique experience when they come to the website,” says Walker. “Responsive design was fundamental to the project. Many of our developers are focused on delivery to mobile devices, so in order to establish credibility and maintain a level of engagement, we wanted the site to render with a responsive design for mobile devices, which I think it does very well.”
