Building a Better Presence Online
The Client
AmesConstruction, Inc. is a full-service, heavy civil and industrialgeneral contractor. Since their founding in 1960, they have deliveredquality construction services to customers across the country.
The Challenge
Ames wanted to develop a Web site that would:
- Educate and inform the public about their business.
- Provide information about Ames to potential clients.
- Provide bidding information to sub-contractors and suppliers.
- Provide company and industry information to employees.
- Provide information about employment opportunities and online applications for potential employees.
In addition, the site needed to be secure and built for growth possibilities.
The Solution
OurIntegrated Technology Solutions Group teamed with a local marketing andadvertising firm to design and develop a Web site that offers a widerange of information to both clients and employees -- the majority ofwhich can be maintained by Ames Construction personnel without the helpof a technical expert. The site educates and informs the public aboutAmes Construction through general company information, press releases,news awards, and information on current projects and success stories.Using the Web site, subcontractors and suppliers can get biddinginformation, and potential employees can view a list of open positionsand complete an online application. Now the company has a well-built,informative, and secure Web presence at www.amesconstruction.com.
The Details
Webuilt the Web site using Lotus Notes/Domino architecture, and includedsix integrated databases to store various parts of the Web sitecontent. The Domino infrastructure manages security, and our LotusNotes/Domino Group in Bloomington, MN, hosts the site.
