Riechers Farms Website Is Operational

I have to admit, when Ryan Riechers first came into our office earlier this year I had never thought that a farmer would need a website. However, after Ryan left I stood corrected and was excited about the possiblities.

Ryan, wanted a way to showcase his farming operation and facilitate communication with their landlords.  Farmers, just like any business, need a website to help reinforce their brand. In Ryan's case he wanted to demonstrate that Riechers Farms was professional, trustworthy, and a good steward of the land. A business you could trust to farm your land.

To help with communications we developed a custom Sitelight module, called Notes Center.  Notes Center was built using Silverlight.  It allows Ryan to post notes on the site which his landlords can log in to view. When a note is added to the site an email is sent to the users, telling them to log into the website and view the latest communication. The module also allows Ryan to lock down who can view certain notes.  This restricts landlords to only view notes on their property.

Many thanks to the Riechers family.  It was a great project and we are excited to see it go live.
