We began the project by utilizing the CMS Made Simple (content management) core to handle all content related page edits. We then collected all required design related information from a 3rd party designer and created web ready templates for the CMS system and other required templates. We then created several template variations to handle various portions of the site. With several hundred active pages, this site is one of our larger CMS Made Simple clients as far as content goes. We estimate the site at close to 400 pages at time of writing this case study with several being added daily.
