Wonder Associates continues to deliver against its sector-focused agency-wide strategy, officially launching a "new website - www.miyocms.com to bring alive the benefits of their Content Management System - MIYO (Make It Your Own).
Designed specifically for organisations and marketeers in arts, culture and leisure - there’s nothing quite like it. MIYO is fast becoming the preferred CMS for the sector, being used to create websites and digital applications for organisations such as &Co, whose site has just been nominated as a finalist in the UK.COM Awards, Lyric Hammermith, Shisha Arts and Chol Theatre.
Wonder Associates has leveraged its sector-insight and experience along with two years of Research and Development to create MIYO. MIYO began when Wonder found that many of the well-known, open source CMS didn’t fully meet the needs of their sector-specific clients as they are often difficult to use and require extensive training and technical experience.
Wonder Associates used this research as a brief to formulate a unique solution, turning every CMS criticism into a relevant, positive feature of MIYO. The in-house digital team at Wonder has built MIYO using open source technologies (like PHP5 and MySQL), using Object Orientated Programming (OOP) principles and the highly adopted Model-View-Controller (MVC) development methodology. This means that MIYO is not only a solid foundation for any website or app today, but it is highly extensible to meet future needs, being continuously updated in order to integrate the latest technologies.
With MIYO, clients experience a solution that combines Wonder’s distinct, rich, interactive creativity for the front-end of their website and/or app with a reliable, proven CMS that is tailored to their exact needs for the back-end.
Here are just a few extracts from the most recent interviews with clients using Wonder’s MIYO:
“It was great working with Wonder. The entire process was well thought out, inspirational and incredibly satisfying. MIYO is a breath of fresh air - it is simple, intuitive and clear to use. Its integration of social media is an absolutely killer feature that is often not available on so many other systems.” Joanna Down, Head of Communications,
Lyric Hammersmith
“I found Wonder to be innovative, creative and highly professional. No issue too great, no task to small. If the devil is in the detail these people are positively evil! I would have no reservations in recommending both the Wonder Team and their MIYO CMS to any organisation looking to redevelop their website. If you are looking for a stable platform on which to base a critical marketing tool
(your website) this is what you’re looking for.”
Tony Mackinnon, Communicate Director, &Co
“The team has bounds of creativity and possess the thinking to back up the ideas. The ongoing support is exemplary - they are flexible, approachable and extremely dedicated. We felt MIYO would manage our content requirements the best and had the right balance of structure and flexibility. It has the affordability of open source software but is totally bespoke and is intuitive and accessible. Specifically, we like how it manages images and credits, and ensures design consistency throughout.”
Fareda Khan, Deputy Director, Shisha
