Take your Manufacturing Website to the next level
As a food serving equipment manufacturer, Server Products utilizes Titan CMS for a public website with a product catalog of 500+ products; with a single (public) website administrator. Data node filters assists with product selection and a modified ecommerce Shopping Cart facilitates a Request for Quote to a user’s choice of equipment dealers for competitive pricing.
The sites' Find a Dealer or Rep lookup also uses a data node filter. Titan CMS has allowed us to transition from duplicating the management of 300+ contacts to one Excel file upload into Titan CMS.
The Intranet is populated by department based content coordinators, directed by an Intranet Administrator.

- Utilizing a Filter to determine what shows on a page saves countless hours of configuring content that should be displayed on a page - it's been a lifesaver how easy it is to set up too.
- Smart Search takes the search box and makes it magical. Common misspellings and alternate names can still send a user to the proper page!
- Data nodes and filters can also be configured to Find a Dealer, Doctor, Location etc. It puts the power into a users hands and makes is easy to use.
- Adding link analytics to find broken links would be helpful.
- Overwriting an existing file in a file pile, during initial upload could be made easier. Time spent tracking down an original on your network (outside of Titan) to do it properly is painful.
- A Training Video Library would be very helpful. Sometimes, just knowing it can be done and a brief visual of the concept is all you need.

It worked great that Titan CMS was developed by a local company (we're both in Wisconsin). Not only that, they have user group meetings twice a year which highlights what others are able to accomplish with the same software - immensely helpful. Support calls are handled in a timely manner even when it's an emergency i.e. site unexplainably down. Even after 9 years of use, the software updates always keep it relevant with what us developers are looking for and what is trending.

It's a small group of users that manage our content. Public content, site IA and UA are controlled by Marketing (with an IT background). Intranet is also run by a single admin with department representatives that validate relevant content within the department. Most positions did not have or need any formal training save for the two admins.

A content author that uses preset templates and multistep workflow would only need good communication skills and nothing beyond a simple text editor. Organization skills are most valuable. Think of a library of items and how people would find them. Not only on the display side but in the CMS workstation. It needs to be clear, concise and well thought out to stand up to years of content additions, new top tier content and future site redesigns. Learning Titan CMS is only the method in which to deliver the organized content - the easy part.
- Public website - listing 500+ products and allowing a user to quickly filter down to the proper equipment to fit a need
- Intranet - keeps forms handy for multiple departments especially HR - they have more than many realize.
- Dealer Lookup - find a dealer by location and classification.
- Request a quote - shopping cart functionality that requests a product quote to user chosen dealers
- Dealer and Rep lookup
- Request a quote
- Use tags and filters to allow users to quickly find an equipment solution for their need
- Content marketing integration
- Micro sites
- Deeper analytics functionality

We used Dreamweaver to create static HTML pages. Titan allowed us to take our website from 150 pages to over 1000; with a single administrator. Enhanced product detail pages have allowed us to increase conversions 10 fold. Smart Search has taken our site search above and beyond the irrelevant results most people were accustomed to getting on a site.
- Price
- Product Features
- Product Usability
- Product Reputation
- Vendor Reputation
- Positive Sales Experience with the Vendor
Product usability was first and foremost the most important. We have a single administrator that does every thing from content creation to user admin. Being able to automate content that is displayed using tags and filters has allowed us to expand the site 10 times over and be a leading industry website for content and usability.
There really isn't much I would change other than have a clear timeline for completion and possibly put functionality in stages of what needs to be functional to launch and what can be added shortly after. We ran into some content issues late in the game and almost missed a critical launch date because we were trying to focus on all the functionality (even things 3 levels in) vs. top tier and required elements.
- Implemented in-house
Yes
We started with an overall project scope meeting with all the stakeholders. Next was a Discovery phase to vet out any new functionality that may need to be added or find alternate was to accomplish the same visual affect for a user. For extensive wish lists, which happens more often then not, the project is broken into phases and development begins.
Change management was a big part of the implementation and was well-handled
Our latest site instance was a complete redesign - nothing was saved - even product images. For this process, everything was evaluated, what should stay, go, look, feel, functionality, IA, UX...everything. Even with all this the experience was great. Taking a fresh look at how to serve up the best user experience from the ground up makes everything else fall into place.
- Figuring out the user progression for a quote request to multiple dealers was tough. Each dealer was to only see their name on the recipients list with a master list of recipients going to our administrator. It took a few tries to get this going correctly.
- In-person training
- Self-taught
No, I wouldn't recommend setting up a new site without training, but for a content author or even an editor it can be trained internally with a 1/2 hour session. That would include having the user open the screens, get familiar and do a few test documents. Not too hard at all. If you're doing admin or design work, than I would recommend training. It's not that you won't figure it out, but will you figure it out quickly enough to be most productive out of the gate. Better to learn it upfront and not have to redo anything.
Yes
Going for premium support allows our admin to forgo having to go through hoops to validate the need for support for each and every instance - oftentimes to those who wouldn't know the value of the service or support anyway. It also saves accounting time from having to process a PO and cut a check for each instance too.
No
I can't think of a time when we didn't get exception support for Titan CMS. Each and every call to support (mind you there hasn't been a lot of calls/emails) has been followed up and solved or escalated without having to wait in limbo. Our project manager for Titan has been a great liaison for their tech support people regarding personal knowledge of our current setup.
- setting up content filters
- renaming tags
- image library - upload one version and multiple sizes (that you preconfigure) are auto created
- verwriting an existing document
- filter in user management doesn't always find a person quickly

Titan CMS Admin's Super Awesome Review
Titan CMS is used mainly by myself, however, the marketing director and IT director also have a login and have basic knowledge of how the system works. Titan CMS addresses our need for an easy to use CMS to update our website on a daily basis. It also works alongside of our customer relationship management software that is used by the entire staff.
- Layout/structure of information - Fairly intuitive, it is easy to search for content (within the CMS) if your website is large. However, a CMS truly can only be as organized as the user is.
- WYSIWYG editor - Creating and publishing pages is extremely easy, the WYSIWYG editor standard, but gets the job done. Applying styles, linking content, adding tables, videos, etc is all very simple.
- Customizable - There is no limit of possibilities of page layouts, styles, data organization, etc. If you have HTML experience, you can really create anything you'd ever need in the Titan Administration area (where you have access to page layouts and styling).
- I would love to see a "View this Page" button after a page has been updated/published. Every time I publish a new page, I have to open a new browser window, navigate to a different tab, copy the page url "example/example/example" and paste it after "www.mywebsite.com" in order to preview the new page/content.
- If Titan and WordPress were in a beauty competition, there is no way that Titan would win. Titan's dashboard, buttons, etc are dated and bland, and is in dire need of a refresh.
- A drag and drop to upload feature would be very helpful.
- Creating forms is very cumbersome and the pop-up window in which the form is created needs to be revamped. The font-size is much too small and it is not as customizable as it could be.

- Our website prior to using Titan CMS was very similar in terms of the way content was laid out. However, since using Titan, we have been able to add new content to our site in a much quicker fashion.
- The new website and CMS has certainly helped increase the number of visitors to our site.
I am a super fan of WordPress and would have suggested having our website built within that platform in a heartbeat, however, I began my employment here after the website had already been built within Titan. Essentially, Titan was chosen as our CMS because we needed something that could work in relationship with our CRM, and the Web Development Team needed to be local (within a reasonable distance). Titan and WordPress are very similar in many different ways, and I think that at some point, Titan could be as "smooth" as WordPress, but there are still a few other weaknesses that it needs to overcome.

Marketing handles the design and publication of content. Operations and Technology reviews users that login to specific portal. Sales monitors the amount of RFPs that come in. Finance and Administration publishes content.

The type of person that is best suited to use Titan is a quick learner that can easily solve problems. Obviously having prior CMS experience would be beneficial.
- Keeping content on our website fresh
- SEO
- Customer service
- Education
- Our web development team customized Titan to work hand-in-hand with our CRM software. Having the two programs "talk" to each other allows our entire company to remain on the same page.
- Having some prior HTML/CSS experience has allowed me to truly customize anything in Titan.
- We plan on making our website responsive and we will be using Titan throughout that process.
