Blang Records required a new website with an eCommerce facility and a content management system so that they could manage, update and create pages themselves.Using the Joomla! open source content management system removed any need to pay licence fees while providing a powerful way of managing the website themselves.The website also features a fully integrated mailing lists system, RSS feeds, image and music video gallery that can all be administered in house. We also provided consultancy on the best way of using email marketing.Visit the website at www.blang.co.uk.

We've finished developing the Blang Records website, and it's now launched and open for business. It's got a full content management systems (CMS) and eCommerce engine, so that the website can be managed internally by the label without technical support. Joomla! was the selected CMS, as it's very flexible, powerful and free as it's open source.Blang Records specialise in urban folk acts and antifolk acts, and feature bands like David Cronenberg's Wife, Sergeant Buzfuz, Filthy Pedro, Lucy's Diary and Milk Kan.
