2008.02 Houston Healthcare Takes On Content Management

It's not an uncommon story; an organization has a marketing team and an IT staff, and the website falls in between them. The marketing staff lack the technical skills and the IT staff lack the time necessary to keep the website up to date. The answer? Content Management. The marketing team at Houston Healthcare is now equipped with browser-based tools to let them manage the content on a daily basis. Not only are updates more efficient, they can even be made ahead of time and scheduled to go live on the appropriate date.

2008.02 Research in Review: Revamped

Florida State University started publishing Research in Review in 1969, with the mission to "inform the public, lawmakers, granting agencies, university supporters and officials at other universities about Florida State's scholarly activity and its relevance to taxpayers, commerce and academe". The existing website was not doing justice to its content, and needed to showcase the University's work in a more compelling fashion. It also needed to be easy to use and to update. The new design is at once more engaging, with additional interactive elements and a streamlined organization that helps readers and RinR staff alike.
