OH! Media is proud to announce the launch of the new Regina Symphony Orchestra site! With the start of the 2012/2013 concert season RSO was in need of a new web system that would allow them to easily update their ongoing concerts and community events. We built their new site from the ground up with a fresh design and our very own OH! CMS content management system. With the new site comes many new features…

The homepage slideshow allows administrators to add featured photos and links that grab the immediate attention of the user. This area is used to call attention to any symphony news or upcoming concert series – helping the user find detailed info as quickly as possible!

The ShoWare ticketing system allows the RSO to add concerts series, dates and ticket prices. This allows the user to view detailed information on different concerts as well as purchase tickets right off the site.

Added social media functionality like the Facebook/Twitter badges, Like buttons and live Twitter feed help create a buzz amongst the social community.

The combination of added social media functionality, easy to update CMS features and the ShoWare ticketing system helps Regina Symphony Orchestra get word out and information available for interested members of the community!

As a business it’s essential that your site is stays current. A website with old, outdated content gives you less of an edge over your competitors and can give the impression that you don’t care about your online presence. Though having a web developer make updates to your website can sometimes be costly and may take a few days to complete. But, there is a better and easier way to manage the content on  your website that means lower costs and instant turnaround. OH!CMS is a content management product that we developed to allow our clients to quickly and easily update their websites.

We like our system so much that we thought we’d give you 5 great reasons to choose it over the other systems out there.

1. Simple User Interface

OH!CMS was designed with a target audience in mind: small to medium sized business owners who are smart, but may or may not be technically saavy. This means that the interface of OH!CMS is intuitive and easy to navigate.  We pride ourselves on how simple it is to effectively manage your site content using our system.

2. Modular and Scalable

Your website needs will grow as your business or organization grows.  OH!CMS has this covered.  OH! Media has built over a dozen modules for OH!CMS that may be easily installed at any time.  From event calendars, to polls, to newsletter deployment, even membership systems.  And if you need a specific feature built, we can develop it for you.  OH!CMS is fully customizable, and can grow and evolve with your needs.

3. Search Engine Friendly

We understand how important it is to be positioned well in search engines.  That’s why we ensure that our CMS follows basic SEO standards. We take the time to implement properly designed layouts and utilize search engine friendly URLs.

4. Support

OH!CMS was built in house by our talented staff, so it’s fair to say that we know every line of code intimately.  Open source CMS systems are typically developed by a combination of developers and can be bulky and disorganized, making them a challenge to support.  If there is ever an issue with your OH!CMS install, you can rest assured that the problem will be remedied quickly.

5. Version Rollback

Make a mistake? Wish you could back in time and retrieve a previous version of a page? Now you can. OH!CMS includes a page versioning system that allows you to instantly revert to any previously saved version of a page, quickly and without hassle.

We could go on and on about benefits of our custom CMS system.  If you need more convincing watch our overview video or give us a call and we’d be happy to take you on a guided tour.

Back in December of 2009, OH! Media decided to offer free websites to select non-profit organizations. We chose the name OH! Cares to show how much we, well, care!

Our first partner is the Pulmonary Hypertension Association of Saskatchewan. Pulmonary Hypertension (PH) is a disease affecting the arteries of the lungs and it can strike anyone regardless of age, sex, social or ethnic background.

The passion the Association has for helping those with PH impressed us here, and we got to work creating a site that would enable the Association to reach people in Saskatchewan and distribute vital information on this disease.

In addition, the design and development of the site was largely done by our co-op work student, Kirsten.  One of her class requirements was to work on a non-commercial site, and the opportunity for her to work with a non-profit organization through OH! Cares was perfect.
