You told us DigiStream might be the last company still hosting its own website. By early December it won't be. Same look, a new platform in your Azure account, and your team edits it without a ticket.
The site runs DNN 9.13.10 on an IIS server you patch yourselves, and that's as far as DNN upgrades in your setup.
Every change still goes through one developer. Renaming Stories or fixing a headline waits in a queue, so marketing hasn't touched SEO in years.
Your video players also borrow styles from DNN, so one change on the main site can break them. Replatform first, then redesign on a clean base.
The price moves every page, clip, paper and office listing to Paigebuilder, hosts the site in your Azure account, and switches DNN off. Support and the extras sit at the end.
We stand up Paigebuilder with collections for clips, stories, papers, offices and licenses. The site runs in your Azure account, so it stays inside your Microsoft licensing and governance.
Nothing gets redesigned yet. Today's type, color and layout become reusable components, with phone layouts that keep the menu and the Refer button on screen. The redesign starts from there.
Every clip moves into Paigebuilder storage with an embedded player and real controls. The clips stop depending on the old video server, and new thumbnails resize themselves on upload.
Home, Solutions, all five service pages, Orange Papers, Coverage and both directories move over. Every old address redirects, so links, rankings and bookmarks keep landing where they should.
Mary Kate and Kyle change copy, rename sections and publish by prompt or by hand. Each page keeps its own version history, and your team can work from Copilot through the MCP connection.
We plan the DNS cutover with your provider from week 1, check every page against the old site, then take DNN offline. Two weeks of support follow launch for anything that surfaces.
Each risk on the current setup, and what happens to it after launch.
| The risk | On DNN today | After launch |
|---|---|---|
| Upgrade ceiling | 9.13.10 is as far as DNN goes | Closed No server to upgrade, updates ship on a normal cycle |
| Self-hosted server | An IIS box your team patches | Closed Pages served as files from your Azure account |
| Players tied to DNN | A style change can break the players | Closed Clips play from Paigebuilder; shared files get a fixed home |
| Edits wait on a developer | Every copy change needs a ticket | Closed Marketing edits and publishes in seconds |
| An AI provider outage | Not a risk on DNN, which has no AI | Still a risk Editing AI can pause; the live site keeps serving |
We'd rather name the one that stays than oversell the other four.
"Basically every change that we have to make has to go through our current developer."
Kickoff is November 9 and cutover lands the first week of December, with Thanksgiving inside your review weeks. Each add-on you switch on gets its own lane here.
Open any line to see what's included.
Switch any add-on on to see the new total. Each one is fixed price, and you can add it now or after launch.
You get Paigebuilder in your Azure account, Clip of the Month with a real player, every page moved with its links intact, and DNN switched off in the first week of December.
Send me your CFO's name and email, and I'll have the service agreement ready the moment you say go. We're holding November 9 for kickoff.
