Posted by Cotton Rohrscheib on July 1st, 2008

Cotton Rohrscheib, Partner and C0-Founder of Pleth Networks, LLC, a Batesville, Arkansas based Web Development and Managed Hosting Provider announced on Monday that his firm had recently launched a new web presence for Detco Industries, Inc. of Conway, Arkansas. The new Detco Industries, Inc. website can be found online at www.detco.com.

“The Detco project was a total redesign, from the conversion and creation of their backend database to the implementation of their new corporate identity and logo,” said Rohrscheib. “We went through a discovery process and created a list of key components for the project that they (Detco Industries, Inc.) were interested in seeing on their website. We collaborated a few times during the process to fine tune various aspects regarding their products and internal processes.”

The new Detco Industries, Inc. website features a database driven content management system that allows Detco’s personnell to affect live changes and imports to their product line. The new website and database solution also allows Detco to capture sales leads from prospective customers and effectively manage this data.

“Another important module that Detco wanted to see in their new web presence was the ability to post career openings to their website and to receive job applications and resume’s online. We integrated this solution in with the existing products database so their internal staff would have a single point of entry to manage their entire web presence,” added Rohrscheib.

The new website features several other popular features such as MSDS and Tech Sheet downloads in PDF format, Google Map to their corporate offices, and PDF downloads of their Catalog and Line Cards. (click screenshot below to preview the new Detco Industries, Inc. website)

Interviewed by Processor Magazine…

Posted by Cotton Rohrscheib on April 9th, 2008

Just wanted to let everyone know that I was interview yesterday by Drew Robb who is putting together a piece on Email Uptime for Processor Magazine (a print and online industry publication). 

Pleth will be mentioned in the article.  I offered some insight to email uptime, virtualization, and clustering.  The piece is supposed to run later this month or the first of next month, not for sure yet.  You can go to Processor.com and search for Pleth though and find the article once it’s released.  I will likely post a linkback to the article from here and from Pleth’s Corporate Blog.


 

Pleth Launches New KFFB Website!

Posted by Cotton Rohrscheib on March 21st, 2008

Below is a copy of the Press Release posted on Pleth’s corporate blog regarding the recent launch of KFFB 106.1FM’s new website and content management system.

Pleth, LLC | Web Site Design, Managed Hosting, Email Hosting, Email ServicesCotton Rohrscheib, Partner and Co-Founder of Pleth Networks, LLC, a Batesville, Arkansas based Web Design & Development firm with satellite offices in Conway, Arkansas, announced on Monday that his firm had launched a fresh redesign and content management system for KFFB 106.1FM, www.kffb.com.

“In addition to the fresh look on the KFFB 106.1FM Website it is also packed with a lot of really nice features,” said Rohrscheib. “While we were building a roadmap for the new website we were sure to include a lot of really useful online resources such as a News Blog, Local Church Directory, Song Lyrics Search, Lake & River Levels, and News Feeds for State News, Local Headlines, Sports and Community Information. We also took the website a step further to list KFFB’s programming schedule, on-air personalities and sales staff,” added Rohrscheib.

Earlier this year KFFB started offering Online Streaming of their radio broadcast so listeners could tune into KFFB from anywhere that has an internet connection. This has been popular with their loyal listeners who travel a lot or who enjoy tuning in while they are at work.

“The streaming audio feature has really been a popular feature on the KFFB website since it’s launch earlier this year,” said Rohrscheib. “I often will pull up KFFB.com and listen in myself.”

In addition to the new features that can be found on the KFFB website there have been a lot of improvements made to existing components such as Vic Schedler’s Weather Forecasts, Radar, and Forecasts on the KFFB Weather Center Page.

“Earlier this month when we experienced heavy snowfall in parts of the state thousands of residents turned to KFFB.com for the latest information on Road Conditions and School Closings and with the heavy rain and flooding that’s occurred in the Batesville Area this week, the KFFB Lake & River Levels page has been extremely popular. It’s information like this that KFFB likes to bring to it’s listeners,” added Rohrscheib.

The new KFFB.com website was launched earlier this week and is available right now for viewing at www.kffb.com.

“We are real excited about launching this new project for KFFB. Bob Connell, the Owner and General Manager, has been a client and close friend for almost 8 years now and during that time he has never stopped looking for ways to make his website more valuable to his listening audience,” concluded Rohrscheib.

Development Notes: The KFFB Website features a heavily customized PHP/MYSQL backend developed using PHPRUNNER IDE and also utilizes a Wordpress Blog Integrated into the website through RSS Syndication.
