Scratch Writing provides expertise in Joomla, a robust content management system (CMS) widely supported by a global community of developers and users.
Joomla is acclaimed for its ease of use as a professional quality web site solution from small businesses to large multinational corporations and can save organizations a ton of money.
No joke: a proprietary content management system can cost anywhere from $50,000 to upwards of $300,000; whereas open source technology is free.
An analogy could be made to buying a brand new house. What if you only had to pay the tradesmen to put all the materials together? That is you didn't have to buy the flooring, fixtures, drywall, lumber and any number of materials necessary to build your dream home? How would that impact your bottom line? A Website built on open-source technology is like having a new house built with all the materials provided. You simply pay the tradesman.
Additionally, we build houses with WordPress, the premier blogging web solution, and PHPBB, the standard-bearer in online forum tools. |

Writing can take on a wonderful variety of formats and its meaning and context is critical to having an effective Website that serves to advance your organizational goals. Writing can be intricately technical as in the case of a software manual or it can be monstrously creative as in a humor piece for a satirical web magazine. Writing can describe your products, your platform, your reason for being. Writing can instruct a customer on how to do something with your product—perhaps tell them why they need your product in the first place.

 With over 5-years experience as a technical writer at Carnegie Mellon University's CASOS Center, Matt DeReno has written and produced user manuals, lessons and technical papers on a variety of software tools.
One of those tools is ORA (The Organizational Risk Analyzer). ORA is a risk assessment tool for locating individuals or groups that are potential risks given social, knowledge and task network information. First you use information about people to “connect the dots.” Then, ORA examines this network and finds those dots, those people, who represent a threat to the overall system.
Matt has also written seveal techncial papers, produced conference materials, and conducted individual and group training on using websites. |
