Argus Interactive Agency's & David Riley Associates' Work for RBC Ministries Wins 2006 Ektron All-Star Award

Newport Beach, CA (PRWEB) September 18, 2006 -- World-class design firm David Riley Associates (DRA) and Argus Interactive Agency, Inc., DRA’s strategic web partner, announced the website and web content management integration project it produced for RBC Ministries has been chosen as a 2006 Ektron All-Star.

“It’s an honor that this site was highly regarded by Ektron,” said Chris Diede, Founder and President of Argus Interactive Agency. “It’s always nice when the passion of your craft evolves into an award-winning piece.”

The website, www.rbc.org, was named Best Non-profit Site, and is already gaining attention from many of RBC’s constituents. The site represents an innovative and effective implementation of CMS400.NET, Ektron’s all-in-one application for creating, deploying and managing interactive web, intranet and extranet sites.

Using Ektron CMS400.NET, along with multiple website customizations, DRA and Argus Interactive have been able to deliver a very efficient, fast and easy-to-maintain website. Previously, rbc.org ran thousands of static web pages on five web servers. Today, the site is serving up a tremendous amount of content and features on only two web servers and a shared database server. This is even more impressive when you consider the high volume traffic on the RBC Ministries’ site. In June, there were more than 500,000 visitors and 6 million page views.

Each year, Ektron evaluates customer implementations of its web content management software. Criteria includes how the Ektron-powered websites meet business and technical goals, advance online strategies, better satisfy site visitors, produce tangible return on investment and support effective business processes. This year’s winners were chosen from more than 100 nominations. For more information, visit ektron.com/allstar.

“Successful websites are special blends of designers’ creative talents, developers’ technical savvy and forward-thinking strategies,” said Bill Rogers, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Ektron. “Ektron’s All-Stars know what they want their websites to do, and DRA and Argus Interactive Agency have demonstrated excellence in developing a site that has helped RBC Ministries continue to evolve as technology and the needs of its audience have changed, from faith-based radio broadcasts in the 1950s, to print-based faith materials, to successfully using its website to serve more than six million page views per month today.”
