The Department of Genetics at Rutgers University has a large faculty each of whom needs a website where they can publish their research, current lab activities, and contact information. They wanted to be able to give each faculty member a website without the cost of paying for each individual website development project.

Springthistle built them a multi-user CMS using Cake. Administrative users can create faculty users. Faculty can log in, using the same University-system-wide login they use for their other activities, and manage their websites by doing the following things:

  • add, edit, and re-order pages
  • upload and manage images and other files
  • change theme and website colors and fonts
  • choose among rollover menus
  • submit feedback easily from within the system
  • and more

Feeling that their website design was out of date, and that the content had begun to outgrow its original information architecture, the people at the Deptartment of Genetics at Rutgers University came to me to revamp their website. Working with their tech team, I made a custom-templated site that allows the staff to update simple html files without having to worry about disturbing the design or structure of the site. Some of the information on the site feeds in from existing databases with no problems, allowing them to keep their database content up-to-date the same way the did before. A very successful upgrade!
