Dagaz Solutions is proud to announce the launch of a new web-based content management system for the Danville Area Chamber of Commerce. In addition to the web site application, Dagaz Solutions created a new logo and a new comprehensive, business-focused corporate brand identity.

“Even non-profits need to have fresh looks to attract the membership and attention they need to be successful,” said Dagaz VP and Chief Creative Officer, Mark Elster. “With the chamber websites, we basically took them from 1997 technology to 2008, and we designed new logos to help them present the image they need to have in the marketplace.”

“Mark and his team were very thorough and met our needs in record time,” said Danville Area Chamber of Commerce CEO Melony Newman. Danville Chamber members can now control their personal business content and its new website design incorporates the latest search engine optimization techniques, which means visitors searching for the chamber itself or a member business will reach their intended destination more quickly and easily.

Dagaz Solutions announced today the launch of a new Internet based content management and ecommerce system for the San Ramon Chamber of Commerce. In addition to the Internet application, Dagaz Solutions created a new, sophisticated, business focused corporate brand identity.

Danville, CA (PRWEB) August 14, 2007 -- Dagaz Solutions announced today the launch of a new web-based content management and ecommerce system for the San Ramon Chamber of Commerce. In addition to the website application, Dagaz Solutions created a new, sophisticated, business focused corporate brand identity.

"I am extremely pleased with the team at Dagaz Solutions and the effort they put forth to produce this web application for the San Ramon (California) Chamber of Commerce," said Doug de Urioste, President of Dagaz Solutions. "This web application is complete with an administration back end, and an ecommerce system that increases value for the Chamber members, while reducing maintenance and administration costs for the Chamber."

"We used to need several applications to manage our membership, events, and communication. Dagaz has provided a single web-based solution for us and our membership! It makes our lives so much easier at the office. The solution frees up time for us to focus on creating more value added services for our members and community," said Carolyn Degnan, CEO of the San Ramon Chamber of Commerce. "Our staff and members are ecstatic over the new web site and administration system."

"As the Director of Events for the Chamber, I have a big challenge to keep track of everything we have going on each month. The new web application allows me to create an event, turn it into a product and post it online. When people sign up for an event, the information is automatically dropped into a spreadsheet. I no longer need staff to enter it in by hand. It is incredibly simple and efficient," says Kathy Gailey. "I could not believe how fast people began signing up and paying for events within minutes of us going live with the website!"
