What we did
- Custom extension over RadiantCMS for a smooth UI
- Backend development in Rails, MySQL
- Browser side Javascript magic
- Deployment environment setup and support
Smooth integration: A custom written extension brings domain structure where the general concept of Radiant page does not suffice. The app writes data in a structured way, while retaining the full expression power of Radius templates. Was a challenge to transform a CMS made for geeks into an usable domain specific interface. All this whilst staying in sync with the spirit and clearness of the base Radiant system. Backend CMS not accessible but you can view the public site at: http://www.penguinspeakersbureau.com .
