At AgFirst, association websites were taking far too long to deliver. These were not just one-off marketing pages; they involved designers, content writers, CMS integration, JavaScript, HTML, CSS, and coordination across people and process.
When I joined, the website delivery process needed structure. There were talented people involved, but the work was not moving as efficiently as it could. The problem was not simply build faster. The problem was that the process needed repeatable patterns, clearer implementation methods, and better training around how frontend work connected with the Kentico CMS.
I developed reusable processes for integrating JavaScript, HTML, and CSS with Kentico, then trained existing staff and new team members on those methods. I worked with designers and content writers to support multiple association websites, including Farm Credit organizations across different regions.
Within the first six months, the timeline for developing an association website dropped from 22 months to 2–3 months. That kind of improvement did not come from one magic tool. It came from better process, clearer patterns, stronger handoffs, and training people to repeat what worked.
