Foundation648 Launches ASA Website Re-design
Park Ridge, IL - October 1, 2010 - Foundation648 has
launched the new American Society of Anesthesiologists
(ASA) website ASAHQ.org. Working closely with ASA and their
contracted consulting firms .orgSource
(association web strategy) and Davis Design Partners (DDP -
creative design), Foundation648 developed a comprehensive strategy
to complete all tasks within ASA's
aggressive timeline.
Work began immediately on conversion of the DDP artwork into
cross-browser HTML / CSS templates using SEO best practices.
Concurrent development began on implementing the Sitecore CMS
system and customizing the parts of that system required for the
website. This parallel development process ensured a quick
transition from artwork to templates, to active site pages in the
development environment.
Meetings were held weekly; Foundation648 encouraged an open
collaborative atmosphere to ensure all stakeholder requirements
were being met and adjustments being made actively during the
development process. A bug tracking portal was set up so that
active testing and feedback could be efficiently processed and
tracked between the client, consultants, and the Foundation648
development team.
Foundation648 provided on-site training and support for ASA
employees tasked with managing the new website with the Sitecore
CMS software. Content entry was thus able to be efficiently
processed during the development phase as parts of the site became
complete.
This active, open collaborative approach ensured that
Foundation648 met the required deadlines and all moving parts
meshed together by the end of the development phase such that the
site was deployed into production on time, on budget, and with the
full approval of ASA on all deliverables.
