Content Management

Dialogs includes the most flexible content management around.

The Aliana staff uses Dialogs to manage graphic elements throughout the site. Each page's content entry form has four fields for the four square photos seen below. Changing photos is as simple as a couple mouse clicks. The site also has two mobile phone versions that pull content from the same database as the main site - a text-only version and an iPhone version that automatically displays the photos without the Flash effect.

Flash and Rich Media

Bean counters no longer frown on Flash and other rich media.

An interactive Flash map allows site visitors to explore the community. The status of each lot and home is shown graphically, and detailed descriptions are available for every home. The content within the Flash map is fed via XML from the Dialogs database, allowing the sales staff the keep the Flash up-to-date.

Tech Documentation

Dialogs means never having to ask, "How did we get here?"

This site has the electronic documentation of the development process permanently tied to the site in Capture. Standard documentation of database structure and description of the code base is available with all Dialogs licenses.

Security Safeguards

Internet security may be your most significant business risk.

Using the standard user management tools in Dialogs, this site has many different user privileges: our agency partner has access to design information, the site owner’s administrative office has admin privileges, and the remote sales office can only update lot and home availability information.

Professional Services

Dialogs Professional Services: a solid company stands behind Dialogs.

Dialogs Professional Serivces provided extensive technical assistance to the implementation of this project.

Aliana Houston

Houston-area master-planned community uses Dialogs to build for the future.

Aliana is a premier real estate development with years of growth and development ahead. The site contains information about the current home construction, but they have plenty of room to expand. This Dialogs-powered site will grow as they grow, from 800 lots to over 3,000, from the beginning of a few residential neighborhoods to a full community that includes commercial office space, retail, a school, and expanded residential areas.
