Optimized Design System
Built on AEM and enhanced by Bounteous, Activate’s design system makes using beautiful, functional components and style guide elements easy. From colors to fonts to typography, we have you covered. Activate can also integrate with your existing design system, bringing a strong backbone to your established style.
Flexible Page Templates
With pre-defined templates and movable components, content authors have the flexibility to tell their brand story, as well as create additional templates in the system.
Expanded Component Library
Activate goes beyond on Adobe’s core component set, incorporating components that give visitors the features and interactions they have come to expect. From Google Maps to Search Results to Embedded Video, Activate makes it easy to build a dynamic experience without custom development.
If you don’t see the component you need, reach out. We’re always evolving features, and want to serve your content needs.
Powerful Analytics and Targeting
Understanding user behavior is key to achieving results. We start with strategy and a platform-agnostic data layer, then work with your tracking and testing tools to craft a unique solution. Information surfaced in this data layer provides a basis for reporting, guidelines for action, and ultimately, a personalized audience experience.
Internationalization and Localization
Create far-reaching experiences with minimal overhead. We leverage our deep experience with internationalization - think a project with 70+ websites, 16 countries, 10 languages, all in one year - to make handling different countries, regions, and languages a matter of simple configuration. Features like Shared Component Properties, Contextual Pathbrowser, and Page Root Provider give you the power to create an experience that feels like home.
Multi-Site Ready
We helped develop Adobe’s current multi-site functionality: reap the benefit of our experience and add your 2nd, 3rd, or 12th website without the need for rework. The benefits are cumulative: each new site builds on your core library, making building the next experience even easier, while bundling with multi-site with a designs system ensures visual consistency.
Multi-Platform Integration
Seamless integration with Salesforce, Marketo, Google Analytics, and many ERP systems make measuring, strategizing, and marketing simple. If you need to connect Activate to another Adobe program, reach out: we’re ready to help you connect.
Support
Your Activate team will be with you through every stage of development, working with you to install upgrades, build new features, or troubleshoot issues.
We continue to provide support post-launch. As part of this, we want to empower your team to author content, maintain Activate, and extend its functionality. Activate trainings provide a hands-on workshop to get you started. Available virtually, on-site, or at one of Bounteous’ office locations, these sessions set you up for the long term.
