Web sites and content management

“We planned to have a simple CMS, what we have is a much richer tool. The old site had over 2500, largely disjointed, pages; with this solution we are able to connect relevant content easily ensuring we get the information to the right audience.”

Allan Ruan, Web Services Manager

Cloud2 offer 2 content management approaches for NHS Trusts and other organisations wanting a rich web presence.

Cloud2 SharePoint for Internet sites  

SharePoint is an excellent content management technology when applied inside an organisation. It is also used in some very sophisticated websites. We have developed a number of NHS websites using SharePoint (Wandsworth PCT for example). If we are honest, we often advise our clients not to build their websits using SharePoint – it is complex, heavy on resources to develop and to run and it is challenging to make it Accessibility compliant. On the other hand it’s great when you want rich document handling (for FOI, board meeting minutes, etc), interactive ‘Web 2.0′ features (e.g. wiki’s, blogs, discussions) and when you want to hook it up to your existing SharePoin intranet, CRM system etc. If you really beleive SharePoint is your web platform of choice then talk to us; if you’re right then we will use our expertise and experience to devliver the kind of rich site, with AA compliance that we have delivered for other customers.   We’ll help with applying your chosen domain (which needs registering with CfH first if it is a .nhs.uk address), delivering the visual design and providing training your core users. We can also advise on hosting options and integration with your in house systems.
