Maui Magazine — 8/7
Maui Magazine (Maui No Ka Oi) launched its colorful new site with years of archives in place thanks to a data import. The team at Maui had this to say about building a site with Godengo:
"With determination and good spirits, Godengo went above and beyond our expectations for this project. Though our requests were stratospheric, the team responded with utmost professionalism and swiftness, accomodating our every desire. It is very clear that customer service and satisfaction are at the top of their priority list. Aside from Godengo themselves, their Rivista platform proves to be clean and highly intuitive. Fulfilling our need for variability, I've found that I can easily move around modules and create pages, keeping our site fresh and relevant. A big nod of appreciation to our adept developers for successfully, and graciously, filling our rather tall order. "
