December Newsletter
Agenity 3.0 is live! We’ve finally had the chance to upgrade our own website with Control Freak CMS and join the party. Due to the way the old system was built, Agenity was directly connected to our customers websites. So we had to take several steps to extract Agenity from the clients still using Agenity 2.0 without effecting them. Now that we’ve upgraded and have had a change to play with our new toy I have to tell you that we’re having a blast!
It’s just so much easier to administer changes to the website. Between being able to edit a page right from the page you’re on using LIVE EDIT... to being able to create portals for news and testimonials... to even having a site search built in to see what visitors are really interested in seeing... to being able to create HTML forms and place them wherever we want on the site and get feedback.... the list goes on and one. It has just been AWESOME! Even this newsletter is a direct result of how much easier it is to use our website as a tool to help us run our business.

ANNOUNCEMENT
Server upgrade (update)
We’ve completed the upgrade of our new server. Thank you so much for your patience during this process. It’s something that has to be done every four or five years in order to ensure that you’re on the latest and greatest server hardware and that your website performs at an optimal level. This particular upgrade was doozie because we ended up growing at such a rate that by the time we were done moving everybody over to the first server, we realized that we needed an even bigger one. So we ended up having to move everyone twice. We’ve taken necessary steps to ensure that we can grow on this new server without having to move everyone from one server to another. Again thank you for your understanding on this and know that it should be clear sailing from here on out.

Have you ever thought about adding LIVE CHAT to your website? LIVE CHAT actually gives you the ability to watch users that are currently on your site, see what page of your site they’re on, ask visitors if there’s anything you can help them with, and of course answer a question they might ask you.
