Do you remember The Courtship of Eddie’s Father? How about F Troop, The Man from U.N.C.L.E., or David Carradine in Kung Fu? American Life TV Network features these and other classics as well as original television programming targeted specifically to the Baby Boom generation. And just like many Boomers, when American Life’s website needed a nip and a tuck to give it a fresh, new look, they turned to the best Web doctors in the business—um, that would be us at Media Spiders®, not Dr. Quincy!
Media Spiders® performed more than just your average makeover. We took a static website and revamped it into a dynamic entity with up-to-date program and schedule information. Media Spiders'® logistical web challenges included the management of TONS of content (many, many program titles and 24/7 schedules) on many pages with many different formats. The website’s database had to integrate seamlessly with the network’s schedule and accounting software. Whew!
<< back to case studies
To scale these electronic stone walls, Media Spiders® engineered a modified version of its i-Spider content management system, which allowed American Life to quickly transfer content from its in-house schedule and accounting software to its website. The network now controls all content from an easy-to-use interface hidden away within the website itself. Today, viewers enjoy on-demand access to up-to-the-minute programming and schedules presented in a logically intuitive (techies would say “hierarchical”) format, all easily available at the click of a mouse.
Whatever your technical challenges—whether it’s legacy systems or large amounts of unintegrated content—Media Spiders delivers the solutions and flexibility you crave. Moreover, Media Spiders® places the reins of power in clients’ hands. Once our work is complete, you have the option of maintaining and updating your own website at your convenience. We’ll gladly show you how.
