Integrallis Up and Running on Radiant
Posted by Brian Sam-Bodden
We are finally live after about a month of procrastination and "on and off" work on the new Integrallis site.
As we venture into the world of Ruby and Rails we've decided to eat our own dog food and have a site completely powered by RoR. Radiant is an agile, nimble yet incredible flexible WCMS (Web Content Management System) written using RoR. Radiant is the brainchild of John W. Long.
We ended using Radiant not only because is a RoR application but also because it clicks with how we think (if you are a developer or a designer Radiant will just make sense) and it was perfectly suited for what we needed: to build a mid-size content-driven corporate website using CSS and XHTML.
Radiant's main strength lies in its simplicity, everything in Radiant makes sense if you are used to building CSS driven websites.
Many thanks go to Sean Cribbs and Todd McGrath on the Radiant CMS forum for all the help on the many roadblocks I encountered.
In the next couple weeks we'll publish an article describing what we have done with this site using Radiant.
