Veterans Health Research Institute (formerly Central New York Research Corporation) manages the medical research initiatives for Veterans at the Syracuse VA Medical Center. They have been in existence for many years, but never had their own website. Their online presence consisted of a page on the VA website.
The main goals of this project, besides having a modern online presence, were to provide a mechanism for online fundraising and an Intranet for the Principal Investigators, Board of Directors and employees to access documentation related to their roles. A new website using the Joomla! Content Management System was able to meet the requirements, and provide plenty of flexibility for growth and enhancements for the future.
Website features include:
- A private login area (Intranet) for the Principal Investigators, Board of Directors and staff, including granular access control security so documents and other information are only available to the appropriate person or group
- A special "unpublished" landing page to provide new hires all required paperwork and forms
- Integration of a document management system for the Intranet
- Integration and setup of fundraising software using development best practices
- Design of a recurring gift program, including name, logo and website setup
- Directory integration for Medical Researchers to provide easy updates while keeping the directory display consistent and searchable
- Extensive use of popup windows to improve navigation
- Customization of the logo for improved display on the website and banner design
- Customization of the template for better personalization
- Page design and content layout
- Responsive website design
- SSL Certificate for additional security
- Website hosting, backups and regular maintenance
- care and feeding of your new website document provided to allow client to keep content updated without additional cost, preserving investment
