Homepage:
Boxtone prefers to come out of the gate at full speed with a homepage jam-packed with content, calls to action, and lead generators. To accommodate their preference, I used a content-rotating jQuery campaign. The second method used to reduce content overload on the homepage is the introduction of collapsible content containers, a core DNN feature. The containers use basic cookies to track their open/close status upon return to the homepage.

Interior View:
The interior layout of the site was updated to fit the new design, adding more space to the sidebar to allow for new content-rotating widgets. We also added a random content rotator to the heading banner using modified core DNN tools. The banner will randomly display testimonials from a database of stored content.
