  • Creating responsive experiences is a real breeze.

  • Ion Interactive Liveball is a very different type of system compared to most CMS systems, you essentially create a page, and then tie it to one or multiple URL's, So from that perspective it takes some time to get to know and figure it out, once you do it is amazing being able to make one page and have it running on 12 URL's at the same time, the dynamic properties it can utilize also help to make this very powerful and elegant once you get the hang of it!
  • The system has a large number of highly editable templates that can be used, this allows most users to get up and running fairly quickly. Some of the concepts are unique so that is the biggest stumbling block since it does behave differently than most other types of CMS systems.
  • In this system many pages utilize forms or different scripts that you can use and re-use on multiple pages. Having these containers that are already created and working exactly as expected allows users to rapidly copy an existing page, make small modifications or updates and re-use components from other pages. When this is done you have new pages created literally within minutes and set to live on new traffic sources (URL's) if you want.

  • Getting a page started and ready for copy/initial design is quick and easy. Once the sections are place, our writers can instantly go in and add their content, and then designers can put the finishing touches on it.
  • Making small edits is a really efficient process. I can go in and change a grammatical error or text change without needing a designer or IT.

  • If you are just using the templates it's easy - changing an image or some copy. Using the prebuilt algorithms and functionality you can create pretty complicated pages that can take you far.
  • The finished product can be very detailed and hyper personalized if done right. You just need to know how.
