Business Need
Management Sciences for Health (MSH) was seeking a qualified CommonSpot content management system (CMS) vendor to develop custom templates and design a new look and feel for their new program’s website, Grant Management Solutions (GMS). They selected Sanmita to handle this development project which also included the need to create custom functionality while still remaining on CommonSpot CMS and in doing so, stay within the strict GMS style requirements. Wherever possible, MSH also needed existing developed elements to be re-used or enhanced and integrated with the new site.
Key Challenges
- Intranet design and implementation.
- Create custom functionality.
- Conform to GMS strict style requirements while creating a fresh new look and feel of the website.
- Work with existing elements when possible by enhancing or re-using those developed elements.
- Provide multi-lingual options for the users.
- Develop features such as a map showing MSH’s program impact.
- Develop special sections within several pages of the site.
Solution
Sanmita worked with MSH’s Communications and IT teams to develop a portal and achieve custom functionality on the existing CommonSpot CMS. A one-off home page layout/template was created. A variation of the home page was also created in a secondary template which was then used to create secondary and tertiary pages. Special sections such as, “Quick Facts” and “What’s New” were created to keep users informed and engaged. The design elements stayed within GMS strict style guidelines. Current elements were successfully re-purposed and enhanced. A feature map was developed showing areas across the globe where the GMS program made a positive impact. This helped further their mission.
Results
