iSite Built Sites
&
Most of our sites are built around an on air broadcast or event. However sometimes we need to make a site for a campaign or offer which doesn’t have a direct link to a broadcast or a series of broadcasts. For these offers you can create a site using iSite article pages. They don’t have to be linked to a PID and by using the Branding tool you can ensure the site looks and acts like a site in itself.
