CreakyJoints.org

Creakyjoints is a non-profit organization dedicated to arthritis sufferers and healthcare professionals.

They were looking to overhaul their existing site, which had to be written in raw HTML by staff at the office.  They needed something that would take care of the behind-the-scenes code so they could focus on writing actual content and growing the community.

During our consultations, we developed a plan to expand and reorganize sections of their site to group and clarify how articles, media and blogs were being presented. What Creakyjoints needed were all the things a content management system provides: security, membership, workflows, multiple authors, site search, dynamic navigation, widgets, and universal accessibility.

Built on open-source Plone CMS, the new www.creakyjoints.org features the following:

many authors and blogs

member sign up and log in

permissions-based workflows for authors and members

keyword tagging and searching

full RSS feeds throughout the site

quick and advanced site search

newsletter distribution

discussion forums with commenting

widgets

automatic site map

saveable smart folders

full accessibility compliance with US Section 508
