National Conference of State Legislatures website cover for our Personify and DNN case study

Project overview: Personify and DNN for NCSL

The National Conference of State Legislatures gives state legislatures research and resources. We provided Personify eBusiness development and consulting, DNN skinning and development, and software architecture consulting.

About NCSL

The National Conference of State Legislatures (NCSL) serves state legislatures. Legislators and staff use it for research, information, and resources when they are writing policy.

What we did

We supported NCSL with professional services across the systems behind that website:

  • Personify eBusiness development and consulting. Personify360 is the association platform for members and online business. eBusiness is the layer where that system meets the website: what a visitor can do, buy, or access online.
  • DNN skinning. DNN Evoq, formerly DotNetNuke, is the .NET content management system. The skin is the design of the public site.
  • DNN development. Custom modules on top of the CMS, for behavior the base product does not include.
  • Software architecture consulting. How those pieces should fit together so the site and Personify stay coherent.

What the site is for

  • Legislators and staff. The audience is people inside state legislatures, not a general consumer. Navigation has to respect how they look for a brief, a dataset, or a meeting.
  • Research. NCSL's value is the research. The site has to make it findable and keep it current.
  • One architecture. Personify holds the business record. DNN holds the pages. Architecture consulting is how those two stay aligned when either one changes.

The Challenge

NCSL's website is how legislators and staff reach research and resources. That public site has to work with Personify, the system the organization uses for its online business, and the design has to be something NCSL can keep publishing in.

Our Solution

We supported NCSL with Personify eBusiness development and consulting, DNN skinning, DNN development, and software architecture consulting.
