Engage continues its growth and introduces new project manager and software developer to its team of experts.

In April of 2018, Engage earned the right to join the Progress Partner+ program with Sitefinity. We demonstrated our expertise with Progress Sitefinity and now can offer this platform as another tool for marketing analytics.

Engage is excited to announce our recent inclusion in Clutch.co’s research as a top website designer and developer in St. Louis. Clutch.co is a Washington DC-based ratings and reviews site that shows distinguished companies in different fields. For each firm on the site, there is an intensive research process, which examines over a dozen unique factors. Chief among these factors are Clutch’s conversations with clients. In interview-style phone calls, clients delve into the services offered, results of the engagement, and the project management of the firm.

A number of us from Engage attended DNN Summit last month in Denver. It was a great opportunity to strengthen our relationships within the DNN ecosystem, share our DNN and development expertise, and get a better understanding of the state of the community. This post provides links and summaries of the sessions I presented at the conference.

For most associations and non-profits, your website is an essential tool for managing, connecting, and communicating with your members, and it is often the first point of contact for those first discovering your organization. Crucial to establishing a positive first impression and maintaining ongoing relationships, your website must provide a user-friendly, engaging platform for readers to communicate and learn. If you are looking to design a new website or update your existing one, be sure to include targeted questions in your request for proposal (RFP) that will connect you with the best fit for your organization. One of the first and most crucial factors to consider for project success is a potential agency’s proven industry expertise. 

Like a new car, a website starts to decay and lose value the day it launches. While it is a best practice strategy to have a maintenance plan in place for keeping it up to date, most companies do not have the time or resources, causing them to wait until their site is not meeting their needs before revisiting its design and functionality. So, how do you know when it’s time to update your website?

Choosing a website design firm is a critical decision. You're not just buying a professional service and putting a project in the provider’s hands, you're entrusting your association to them. In doing so, it is essential to select the right firm to partner with to ensure your association’s success.

Lynn Campbell and I have just returned from our Engage AMS product launch at ASAE Tech. This is my second year attending the conference, and I must say I liked it better this time around. I attend the conference to meet with prospects and fellow vendors alike, but I found the thought leadership in presentations to be equally valuable (when I could sneak away from our booth to attend them).

Over the past three years, approximately 60 percent of our clients have been in the association space. It became clear that, especially for small-staff associations, there was a need for an AMS (Association Management System) that was accessible, scalable and customizable to fit their specific business needs. Given the success of our AMS website integrations and our Engage Sports registration system it was a natural progression for us to develop Engage AMS to meet this growing need.

In June we made note of an issue with Telerik components affecting DNN users. Please be aware of a subsequent bulletin issued by DNN affecting all versions of DNN and Evoq from 5.6.3 to 9.1.1.
