Openness. It's in everything we do. Sometimes this philosophy can be a bit overwhelming. In order to make your life easier, we have put together a few common scenarios that illustrate how we can help you reach your goals for your web site. We know that every engagement is different; these examples are meant only to help you identify the range and cost of services offered by dotCMS. As always, if you have questions, feel free to ask. We are here to help.
Scenarios:
- Do-it-Yourselfer for a Department or Small Organization
- Webmaster at a Mid-Size Company or Institution
- Web Team Leader at a Large Organization, Company or Institution
Scenario 1: Do-it-Yourselfer/Department or Small Organization
This technically oriented individual is looking to get up and running with Content Management as easily and economically as possible. There is already graphic design, so this individual is looking to dotCMS Services to assist them on moving the design into the dotCMS and building out the template so it can be managed easily. In addition, this individual has done their research, understands the concepts surrounding the dotCMS and is comfortable with community based support moving forward. In order to continue learning the system and connect with other dotCMS community members (and because Miami in February does not sound too bad) this individual wants to attend the annual dotCMS User's Conference.

Scenario 2: Mid-sized Company or Institution
You work by with a small team (maybe a team of 1) that is responsible for maintaining your company or institutional web site.

You have just completed a redesign (or like your site's current look) but think that your information architecture and usability could be better. You want professional training, help with building a number of templates, connecting the site with Active Directory and some additional hours for custom services and ongoing support.

Scenario 3: Large Company / Institution
You work in the web department and lead a team that designs scalable, usable and attractive websites for a mid to large corporate or institutional web presence.

You see the benefits and flexibility that open sourced solution provides but would still like to have a vendor assist you with site build out, custom development, training and technical support in times of need. You would also like the vendor to take care of any version upgrades moving forward.
