JotBlog

About a month ago we were talking to Chris and Tim over at Rojo about their company web site. This was a couple of weeks before their recent public launch (congrats!), and they were interested in using JotSpot for www.rojonetworks.com. They were on a very tight schedule and had a bunch of requirements that related to running a public-facing company site. But they also wanted the power of easy updates a wiki provides. Did we have the right stuff and were we ready?

Hmmmm… thinking… Sure! we said. We had recently refined our CSS theming capabilities (e.g. see codebook.jot.com), had a fresh release online, and it seemed like a great fit. This may sound obvious to you, but running a company web site on a wiki seemed a bit novel and fresh to me. Here at Jot we live and breathe intranets, extranets, collaboration, and Wikipedia-style communities. But not so much good ol’ company web sites.

The result? Judge for yourself. We’re thrilled with what they came up with! And they’re really happy with it too. We appreciate their vote of confidence in selecting us on a tight deadline, particularly while we are still in beta. Their feedback has been extremely helpful, and we’re working on some direct enhancements. Everyone will be able to make this level of customization in the upcoming release.

We look forward to powering more good ol’ fashioned web sites – the power of the writable web won’t be boxed in!
