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- A special "unpublished" landing page to provide new hires all required paperwork and forms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

Itty & Bitty is a children's book series about two minature horses named Itty and Bitty. Itty and Bitty are real minis that live in Texas and have inspired author Nancy K. Carpenter to write children's poems to educate young children about poetry, literacy and even history.
We began discussions with Nancy after her original web designer left the area and she indicated her desire to work with someone locally. As her needs were explored, she expressed her desire for features aimed at children that weren't (or couldn't be) accommodated on her Weebly-built website.
Her new website was designed using the Joomla! Content Management system.
Website features include:
- A customized template to replicate the appearance of her previous site and maintain existing branding (design images, colors, etc.).
- An ecommerce store to sell her books and other Itty & Bitty merchandise.
- Whimsical design elements in parts of the site targeted at children -- a "Where's Waldo" type map for kids to explore and learn more about Itty & Bitty; fun fonts.
- Cartoon drawings were added to the banner and footer to enhance the whimsical nature of the site.
- Responsive website design.
- Branded email -- including email for the minis!
- Website hosting, backups and regular technical maintenance.
- Incorporation of SEO and Google Analytics
- Customization and incorporation of Constant Contact email list building tools.
- Our care and feeding of your new website manual to assist Nancy perform her own content updates without additional cost, preserving her investment.
Anne Notarthomas took my ho-hum website and redesigned it into exactly what I had envisioned--a fun, kid-friendly, and easily navigated site. Her love of what she does comes through in the extra care and creative touches that she brings to her work, and her easy going manner puts me at ease when she's showing me a "how-to" or suggesting a new twist on a project. We laugh a lot when working together. I wanted a one-on-one relationship since I am a hands-on learner, and in Anne, I found just that--and more. She is a patient and gifted teacher. I ought to know, I am a teacher myself, but of the generation that did not grow up with the internet or computers, so I am a dinosaur in that regard. She has taken my site and made it sing. I would recommend Anne to anyone who wanted first rate knowledge, talent, and an extraordinary work ethic.

Testimonial
After having a successful experience launching the Tryall Fund website, I hired eKamria again to develop a website for my new business venture. What was intended to be just a “starter” website quickly turned into a much more extensive project. Anne worked with us, carefully listening to understand our needs and found ways to make it easy for us to keep our events updated, yet allow us to showcase our most important results. I was able to start updating the “upcoming events” area on the site immediately after the launch—with minimal handholding, thanks to the complete, step-by-step manual that was provided. eKamria has been very professional and responsive. I would definitely recommend Anne and eKamria if you are looking to update your site…she’s a pleasure to work with and is totally committed to getting it right!
