Benefits

I have developed my own set of best practices and add-on features that you can benefit from and decrease your development time. I also know what will and won't work, saving you time and money.

Analysis

I can perform analysis of your existing implementation and recommend how to improve it. I have been involved in several redesigns of Aptrix web sites - my extensive web development skills include expert knowledge of the latest technologies. Visit my skills section for a full list.

Searching

I have re-written the searching Agent in Aptrix to provide a more thorough searching facility. Select which fields you want to search in - display title and body, attachments, document title, across multiple databases, and even between dates. The results can even be sorted on the fly with a single click. And it's fast!

XML Feeds

If you are looking to implement a newsfeed or integrate an existing one into Aptrix then I can help. Using some of the built in (but undocumented) features of Aptrix, I have successfully installed newsfeeds seemlessly into Aptrix for several clients - streaming news articles every 15 minutes. They even archive automatically.

Maintenance

Many of the agents running on LWWCM produce log files for administrative purposes. Unfortunately, if these are left unchecked, they can slow performance. My cleanup routines ensure that your installation remains as fast as possible.

Agents / Tools

I have a full set of Aptrix tools to improve development turn-arounds - including the automatic generation of the Site Framework and all "landing" pages from a CSV file..

Migration

I have created migration tools to migrate your old (legacy) content into Aptrix. If you have content stored in ASP files or flat HTML files, I can even migrate these into Aptrix automatically.
