Foraker Design re-launches breastcancer.org website via the Tridion Content Management System
(Boulder, CO) August 28, 2007—On Wednesday, August 1, 2007, Foraker Design, a Boulder, Colorado-based custom web development firm, re-launched the world's most heavily-trafficked breast cancer website, breastcancer.org, via Tridion CMS. This marked the successful deployment of one of the first Tridion CMS implementations since the Dutch firm entered the U.S. market.
Foraker Design has been working with breastcancer.org (breastcancer.org), a nonprofit organization dedicated to providing the most reliable and up-to-date medical information about breast cancer, since September 2000.
The re-launch of breastcancer.org included the development of a robust and forward-looking architecture using Tridion's unique Publication system-positioning breastcancer.org to take advantage of Tridion's exceptional multi-language capabilities. As part of the re-launch, the page templates for the breastcancer.org site were brought into compliance with current web standards and usability best practices. The re-launch also focused on meeting the organization's high usability and accessibility standards–as demanded by the site's unique user audience. Also as part of this release, the managed search service formerly used by breastcancer.org was replaced with the open source search tool Lucene, allowing the organization greater control over search results, federation, and content personalization.
During the remainder of 2007 and 2008, many of the content-targeting and multi-channel communication capabilities of Tridion will be rolled out as part of a phased launch process, and additional stand-alone community applications will be tightly integrated with Tridion to provide a seamless user experience and easy updates by breastcancer.org staff.
Foraker Design became an official Tridion consulting partner in April 2007. Tridion's consulting partners provide a range of value-added services that complement the content management capabilities of SDL Tridion products.
