Case Study: Invest Toronto achieves mobile-first, anytime/anywhere investor engagement with Kentico CMS

Invest Toronto - Customer Case Study

Invest Toronto, the City of Toronto’s international investment attraction agency, hired Seventyeight Digital to create a mobile-specific web app so international business travellers could access people, reports and services anytime from smartphones. The challenge was to deliver a full-featured, high-performance mobile experience (iPhone, Android, BlackBerry OS6+) that went beyond a simple stylesheet change, optimizing information architecture, page weight and UI behaviors while retaining a single, centrally managed Kentico CMS to keep maintenance sustainable.

Seventyeight built a Kentico-integrated solution using a jQTouch front end, Kentico API/.NET transformations for mobile navigation, a Mobile Content Web Part and an AJAX-driven Mobile Content Proxy that returns only cached mobile HTML for fast loads. Mobile-friendly AJAX registration/login and CMS-driven content control let staff manage communications, share reports and service clients on the go — delivering a responsive, optimized mobile experience with centralized content management and lower ongoing maintenance costs.
