Roll Your Own site

Bradley Davidson on 06/07/2025

Roll Your Own template For most websites, we offer a full service "white glove" build where we create your template and import your content for you, allowing you to contribute around the edges as able.

But we'd be remiss if we did not point out that if you have these skills also and simply want to avoid the hassle of finding a host and setting up your space - you can have Webmaster access within our CMS down to the template. Limiting your costs to basic hosting fees and incidentals on our platform. If you are Front End Developer or somewhere in-between, feel free to reach out to us as a reseller as well.

And, at the other end of the spectrum - if you require custom web application development, we can accommodate that also. Let us know what you need...

General Update

I see that it has been just over a year since I've posted anything. That can't look good. But it is. Positive spin incoming...

Version 3 of the 3ngine is in the can!

3ngine is the CMS (Content Management System) that I wrote to host and manage websites. Version 3 has been functional for the past year during its' update, however, I've been retouching and cleaning up the entire front and backend, and everything underneath.

Brief History:

Version 1, nearly 20 years ago, was a response to a need to make a [dynamic] website for a client who wished to be able to update their own content. I advocated for writing a content engine under it so the effort could be re-used.

Version 2, half as long ago, incorporated CSS for template and module formatting (where early websites generally were table / frame based). Along the way, also adding Web 2.0 elements - Galleries, Events Calendar, Mail Lists, Blogging, and more...

Version 3 is a reboot. A refresh and a deep dive to shore up support for all devices (Phones, Tablets, and Desktops). The majority of internet traffic now coming from mobile devices. If you are reading this on a desktop, grab the corner of your browser and resize the window to see how the template and content re-arrange & flow. You'll see this with most modern sites. It's a complexity that allows for simplicity - one presentation that can be viewed on almost anything. It's also a requirement for effective SEO, as Google and other indexers require and reward a consistent experience across visitors.

But now it's your turn - What can we do for you?
