Core Expertise: Websites and Portals

Put 25 years of website development experience to work for you

You may ask, “What’s the difference between a website and a portal?” The answer varies, but our definition is the scale and functionality. A website is primarily used to present information and while the information is updated periodically it isn’t a living thing. Portals are often online communities where participants are registered and information is bi-directional. These portals may have millions of pages and members.

For over 25 years we’ve been building important websites and portals. As far back as 1998 we built technology for medical practices that helped improve the patient experience by streamlining new patient registration and prescription pickup. Since then we’ve built critical websites and portals for businesses and governments that transact billions in commerce for millions of people. Let our experience help you solve your website and portal development needs.

Let’s talk websites and portals

Top platforms we use

Atlantic BT is an expert in many different platforms. Check out all of our areas of expertise.

To be honest, we had a 5-year relationship with our previous website development / maintenance vendor going into the RFP process and while we wanted to do our due diligence, we fully expected that vendor would win the RFP bid. ABT came in and really wowed us and won our business. Atlantic BT helped us to identify the most impactful enhancements, which would align with our value proposition and growth strategy.

Comprehensive web design and development services tailored to you

Our expertise spans the entire website development lifecycle, ensuring every aspect of your digital presence is refined, from user experience design to robust security measures. Our diverse portfolio covers various industries, demonstrating our ability to adapt and excel in delivering solutions that meet the unique demands of businesses like yours, regardless of size or sector.

Leveraging our deep technological knowledge, we work with an array of platforms and software, ensuring your website not only meets but exceeds industry standards. Whether you prefer a dynamic CMS like WordPress or Drupal, or need a custom-built site using HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, we’re here to craft a website that perfectly captures the essence of your brand.

Tailor-made solutions for your unique brand

Your website is a reflection of your unique business identity. We specialize in creating custom solutions that give you the flexibility to incorporate any feature you desire, ensuring your website stands out. With our guidance, choosing the ideal solution becomes effortless, always prioritizing the user experience to keep you ahead in your industry.

Streamlining content management for efficiency

Content Management System (CMS) is your gateway to effortless content creation and management, designed to be user-friendly regardless of your technical expertise. Popular platforms like WordPress and Drupal make it possible for anyone on your team to update your website, keeping your content fresh and engaging.

If your current website setup doesn’t utilize a CMS, adopting one can revolutionize your online presence. You’ll notice immediate improvements in how easily you can maintain your site, implement design updates, and achieve greater efficiency in both cost and time. Our role is to guide you in choosing the CMS that aligns perfectly with your business’s unique requirements, ensuring you get the most out of your digital space.

Should you decide it’s time for a change, whether to transition between CMS platforms or upgrade to the latest technology—like moving from Drupal 7 to Drupal 9—we’re here to ensure the process is smooth and seamless. Our expertise in navigating these transitions has helped businesses like the Stan Johnson Company revitalize their websites without disrupting their operations.

Connect your business operations with system integrations

Integrating data from your website with key systems like Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) software, accounting platforms, or Customer Relationship Management (CRM) systems transforms the efficiency of your business operations. This strategic integration creates a unified platform that enables real-time data sharing and synchronization across all your business tools, streamlining workflows and significantly enhancing operational efficiency.

Such integration minimizes the risk of data discrepancies, ensuring that the information you rely on for decision-making is accurate and up-to-date. It also offers a holistic view of your business operations, empowering you with the insights needed for informed decision-making and strategic planning.

Embracing data and system integration means taking a significant step towards operational excellence. As part of our comprehensive web development services, we specialize in creating these unified systems to help your business achieve streamlined processes, better data management, and improved strategic outcomes.

Unlock a seamless online experience with responsive design

Embrace responsive design to guarantee your website delivers a flawless experience on every device—be it smartphones, tablets, or computers. By adopting this approach, the need for a separate “mobile website” is eliminated, simplifying your digital strategy and ensuring your content adapts effortlessly to any screen size.

This user-centric approach not only streamlines management for you but significantly enhances the browsing experience for your audience, making your website more accessible and inviting to a broader demographic. Responsive design is key to engaging users across all platforms, offering them a seamless and consistent interaction with your brand, regardless of how they access your site.

By prioritizing a responsive design, you’re choosing a hassle-free, effective way to broaden your reach and connect with users, ensuring everyone has access to your website’s full functionality and content, no matter their device.

Ensure your website’s optimal performance with comprehensive maintenance

Maintaining your website’s health and performance is essential, and it’s about more than just making a good impression. Regular maintenance checks, content updates, and enhancements not only keep your site running smoothly but also bolster its security against threats. Our dedicated website maintenance services are designed to lift the burden off your shoulders, providing you with the assurance that your online presence is in expert hands.

With our Managed Service Provider (MSP) services, you gain access to ongoing software updates, bug fixes, performance optimization, rigorous security audits, and robust backup and recovery protocols, alongside round-the-clock technical support. This suite of services ensures your website operates at peak efficiency, remains secure against evolving threats, and continues to engage and delight your visitors without interruption.

Elevate your website with secure and reliable hosting

The foundation of your successful online presence is not just a well-designed website but also the reliability and security of its hosting. Recognizing the importance of dependable web hosting, we integrate superior hosting solutions with our web development expertise to ensure your website benefits from unparalleled uptime, performance, and security.

Our team is equipped to design, implement, and manage the hosting infrastructure for your website, encompassing all necessary applications. We prioritize scalability and security in our hosting services, ensuring that as your business grows, your website can seamlessly adapt to increasing demands without compromising on performance or security.
