KnowBC.com is the home of the Encyclopedia of BC -- the source of readable and authoritative information on the significant BC people, places, and things. Originally a bestselling book, the encyclopedia is now available exclusively online, with over 4,000 entries and enhanced by images, maps, charts, tables, and sound and video clips. KnowBC.com is also the home of 5 other west coast online books.
Mugo Web created a framework based on eZ Publish so that editors could manage all of the books on a single eZ Publish instance. Migration work for the Encyclopedia of BC involved creating a logical structure into which previously hand-coded and updated articles could be automatically imported.
Among the key features of the new KnowBC.com are dynamic, content-rich layouts with eZ Flow, intuitive and powerful searching with eZ Find, and a whole raft of single sign-on scripts to handle seamless logins from schools and universities.
As your website grows, custom site search becomes an increasingly important way for users to quickly find the information they need.
Here at Mugo Web, we find that most of our clients’ sites evolve to the point that they want to add a custom search feature. They may simply want to provide a more seamless experience for users as they search for that one how-to blog post from seven years ago, or they may want to guide an intricate search and drill down through a scientific taxonomy.
One of the most helpful uses of website analytics for an ecommerce site is being able to track a user’s journey. Following someone’s path as they enter the site, visit different pages, and reach (or don’t reach) key milestones can tell you a lot about what is working on your site and what isn’t.
Subscription paywalls are an essential part of any publisher’s strategy to build a strong brand and diversified revenue stream. Our team at Mugo Web has worked with several publishers to implement paywalls based on content type, age, and subscription level. Imagine any criteria you can, and we’ve built a paywall to give site visitors gated access to premium content.
Your website can have the best data in the world, but it quickly loses value if your users struggle to find it. Solid search features and intuitive filtering options can increase discoverability and lead to more sales.
We’ve helped several of our partners by creating better solutions for searching to address this issue. Our book publisher clients using the ReaderBound platform have very rich data sets they need to make use of for discoverability, presentation, and sales.
