Berkeley, CA (PRWEB) December 21, 2011
Project6 Design won two 2011 Silver W3 Awards and three 2011 Silver Davey Awards from the International Academy of the Visual Arts (IAVA) for excellence in its web design and build projects. The design firm was recognized for the outstanding user interface and design work they did while modernizing the websites for two prestigious California Universities, the University of California San Francisco’s School of Dentistry and the California Maritime Academy, as well as for an industry-leading design and build construction firm, Pankow.
- The UCSF School of Dentistry website is built with the Drupal content management system (CMS), the most widely-supported open source CMS available. Drupal is used by the White House and several other high-profile organizations. The CMS allows the UCSF School of Dentistry team to add, edit, or delete web site content quickly and easily.
- The Pankow site was built into the Sitefinity content management system, providing a .NET CMS solution that was easy for the Pankow staff to maintain. The CMS also allows the marketing team to login and quickly update any part of the website. Most importantly, the site reflects their true brand attributes: integrity, collaboration, and innovation.
