Content Management Systems
Custom Content Management Systems
One of the biggest issues with out-of-the-box content management systems is that they must be customized to fit the needs of the company to such an extent that it is more economical to build a custom content management system in the first place.
We specialize in creating content management systems that are:
- Easy to use and manage
- Easy to add, edit and delete content
- Easy to upload content to multiple areas of your website
- Scalable to fit your needs as a company (no CMS is too big or too small)
We also train your staff to use your customized content management system. This means you save money and time.

WordPress

Joomla was used for the company website, e-commerce, blog, podcast, articles, and landing pages. Joomla is one of the most used content management systems in the United States.
Drupal
One of the main competitors of Joomla, Drupal, is best known for its use in high-content websites and is used by many public libraries. Another open source platform, Drupal is seen as easier to use than Joomla by many critics. Drupal should be considered as a content management option for high-content websites only.
SilverStripe
An up-and-coming content management system that began as a proprietary CMS, but was released as open source recently. SilverStripe was used on the Sonia Roselli website in 2010. SilverStipe is highly customizable and scalable. SilverStripe is the preferred out-of-the-box content management system by Storiale Consulting Group.

Government, military, university and private company online training systems have been created using WebMentor. Lou Storiale used WebMentor in the creation of 2 online courses for the Pharmaceutical Education and Research Institute in 2001.
Aqualogic Portals
AquaLogic comprised a software suite developed by BEA Systems for managing service-oriented architecture (SOA). Following the acquisition of BEA by Oracle Corporation in April 2008, most of the software have been renamed and the term AquaLogic is not used in any new Oracle product. However, this portal system was managed by Lou Storiale from 2007-2008 during his time with the Association of Legal Administrators (ALA). ALA used this system to operate and managed their member portal.
Known for its difficulty in customization, proprietary licensing and expensive updates, Lou Storiale created a plan to create a custom portal in 2008. ALA programmers launched a customized portal in 2010 which will save the organization hundreds of thousands of dollars in management and hosting fees over the next 5 years.
