Vega WebBuilder is a iii/Clarivate product based to help libraries build their website on the Wix.com platform. We would like to portray our libraries (Springfield-Greene County Library District & Rochester Hills Public Library) experiences using the platform, ways other libraries could easily implement some of the features available, some of the more advanced options for libraries with more staff resources, and some ways you can use AI as a coding tool for web apps you may not be able to do without. Springfield-Greene County Library District & RHPL approached the Wix.com platform in different ways. Springfield-Greene used some of the simpler deployment features Wix.com offers to easily deploy a large website in a crunch period. Simple deployment features that can make production faster and easier include: Built-in wix modules Wix.com Mobile App Dynamic Pages Wix blogs CMS deployment with user permissions RHPL used more visual processes, advanced coding, and design concepts to create a more streamlined user experience. Tools that RHPL used to help stream user experience include: Saving custom assets Custom templates Wix Velo API coding 'Wix Blocks' App coding We may also go over on how to use AI as a tool to help you deploy some "need to have" features from older website deployments, and converting them into something usable by the Wix.com platform. We will also go over some of the faults and abnormalities that come with using the Wix.com platform so libraries can make an educated choice as to whether switching will be an improvement for their work environment. We hope this presentation can present several different ways the iii/Clarivate Vega WebBuilder platform can be used to modernize current library websites, and give libraries another choice as to how they manage their web presence.
