The American Board of Registration of Electroencephalographic and Evoked Potential Technologists (ABRET) came to Hanson looking for several things in their new website. They wanted a complete redesign and have the ability to manage their content without purchasing additional software. The website also needed to be adaptive to all devices (phones, tablets, etc.). They also wanted to fix their current site navigation to make it more user-friendly and to integrate their store on the website. After going through ABRET’s current website, we decided the Content Management System (CMS) concrete5 would be the best option that meets all of their needs.

Unlike other CMS’s, concrete5 has an in-context editor so ABRET can easily update the content directly on the page. In addition, with concrete5’s E-Commerce add-on, ABRET is able to easily manage all of their products. They can add new products, update shipping costs, add product images, add customer choices, and more! The E-Commerce add-on is fully customizable so we were able to design the store to have the same look and feel as the rest of the website. Concrete5 is also very extensible, so we were able to build a custom admin page for ABRET to manage their labs. When a lab is created, it is automatically plotted on a Google Map. Above are two screenshots for adding the lab and displaying it on the Google Map. ABRET also wanted users to be able to subscribe to their email newsletters on the website. Using the MailChimp API, we were able to customize and integrate the signup form to meet the needs of ABRET.
