In Order To Form a More Perfect Union

Students are tech savvy. And impatient. So when they want information, they want it now, whether it’s on their laptop, tablet or smart phone. That’s why we developed a content uploader that uses a spreadsheet. On the site, column headers are mapped to content zones to populate multiple fields for each entry. That translates to providing information for a large number of events at the same time. 

There’s nothing worse than outdated information—an event has been rescheduled or a restaurant has relocated. To keep information current, we created a Content Management System in SilverStripe. Its permission-based security groups assign access to specific pages for easy delegation of content updates. Restaurant, event and location information in a centralized zone eliminates the need to duplicate content population tasks. 

To create the new Union website, Dynamic partnered with Knupp, Watson & Wallman (KW2), a Madison-based advertising agency. Our team used SilverStripe development to bring KW2’s design and functionality to life.

With the improved site, the Wisconsin Union staff is able to manage their own content updates and keep the student body, alumni and visitors up to date on all the events and news involving the union. Jump around!
