NHS organisations need a website.There is an obligation to provide information to members of the public and to their staff and Internet and intranet sites are now one of the most effective means of doing this. NHS Core Site provides the most powerful, easy to use website solution for NHS organisations.
The top reasons for considering an upgrade to an existing NHS website are:
NHS Core Site customers include:
|
- A more powerful, more attractive online presence for the trust or organisation
- A need to more quickly and easily add or update the site by removing bottlenecks and distributing content creation out of the IT team
NHS organisations have embraced this approach but, in many cases, are now challenged by the increasingly professional standards required of their sites.
NHS Core Site is a website tool design specifically for the NHS that provides:
- NHS Guidelines driven design
- Accessibilty
- Class leading ease of use
- Rich functionality
- Extensive range of templates, features and capaiblities
- Freedom of Information Act tools
- Complete, N3 connected hosting
- And much more (see the related apges for more information)
Carelink has developed NHS Core Site to address the needs for a powerful content managed website to replace existing sites built in 
FrontPage, Dreamweaver or other tools that do not focus on efficient creation and management of content.
NHS Core Site takes a content management approach, freeing content creators from having to understand web design or code and maintaining a consistent style and quality across the site. Our associated services including security, integration with other systems, hosting and support, ensure effective and rapid site creation and maintenance. NHS Core Site website solution is powered by
EPiServer v5.1, the leading content management application in its class (see the
Butler report).
NHS Core Site provides our NHS customers with a website that looks good, meets the guidelines, is exceptionally quick and easy to maintain by non-technical authors and provides a wealth of advanced features to both authors and visitors to the website.
It can be fully extended to provide enterprise class capabilities, including integration with other applications. It provides advanced WSRP portlet capabilities. A number of powerful additional modules are also available.
NHS organisations tend to have a core set of consistent needs for their Websites. By recognising and incorporating these common needs we help avoid much of the duplication which occurs when each organisation develops a web site from scratch. With excellent cost effectiveness that includes hosting with access from both the internet and N3 we believe NHS Core Site is the quickest and best way to upgrade your existing site.
