WOAY.com is about to go live, finally!

by Aaron Duty Saturday, February 27 2010

It might be a bit premature, but that website has taken forever.  Not for want of getting it done, but just because the contract was overly ambitious.  Everything that we thought we could use, that we already had built, needed to be rewritten from almost the ground up.  News, event calendar, and generic page handling were all affected and doesn't include the entirely new items that needed to be added.  We went from a simple CMS to a nearly complete portal in 6 months.

That might not sound bad to you, but our normal development turn-around is more like ONE month.  So, the project is over budget.  Extremely over budget.  However, I'd like to think we come away with a few pluses.

  1. We now have an acutal user management system for our websites.
  2. I now have eye-candy to put in my portfolio.
  3. It's a website I actually have no fear of saying "It's mine."
  4. We can resell the basic system, thus giving us the opportunity to eat into the competition.

I can personally live with this arrangement.  The website isn't scheduled to go live until Monday (March 1, 2010), but you can check it out at:  http://www.woay.com/default.aspx
