Silverlight showcase: RealDolmen Customer Cases
A while ago, my company decided to launch a new marketing campaign, showing of some of the things we’ve done in the past. To accompany this campaign, we decided to design a showcase site. This showcase site shows of a whole lot of customer cases, technology flyers, solutions sheets, … in short: technologies and solutions we offer to our customers.
We wanted this site to leave an immediate impression on everyone who visits it – and what better way to do that than by using Silverlight to build it, right? 🙂
My team worked hard on building this site, and I hope you’ll like what we’ve come up with. To have a look, point your browsers at http://www.realdolmen.com/customercases/!
From a technical point of view, some points of interest:
- Silverlight 3 site (frontend & backend)
- RIA Services & Entity Framework ORM
- Indexability by search engines was very important to us, so we’ve incorporated some SEO techniques
- Deep linking support
- Custom designed “Rich Text Viewer” (and editor in the backend SL app) –> the details view markup you see when you select a case is actually generated on the fly from an XML-file!
