Dynamic Website Development and Online Contests

Client Profile: As a subsidiary of NTT Communications, which is ranked 44th in the 2009 Global Fortune 500, Verio is one of the largest providers of web hosting, applications hosting and software-as-a-service (SaaS) for small- to medium-sized businesses.

Challenge: Verio had owned the domain Websites.com for several years without developing it to support its overall web strategy. Verio's vision for Websites.com was to become a global online community that not only shares web best practices, but also positions its strategic partners as leaders in the web development marketplace.

MCG Solution: MCG developed a dynamic, permissions-based website, using Drupal as the back-end platform and content management system. Using this technology, users are able to submit their own content to the site for publication and rate and review others' content.

MCG also developed and managed two online website-building contests for web developers and small business owners to help drive traffic to the site and promote the services of Verio partners.

Results: With MCG's help, Websites.com has now sponsored two successful contests, which are chronicled via Case Studies available online, and the site is now translated into several different languages so users around the world can continue making Websites.com the one-stop destination for best practices about web development.
