America ’s Promise Alliance Gains a Powerful Web Platform to Improve Lives and Change Outcomes for Children

RESTON, VA – May 18, 2009 – Siteworx, Inc., one of the largest independent Web site design and application development firms in northern Virginia, announced today the launch of the newly redesigned America’s Promise Alliance Web site at www.americaspromise.org on the Sitecore Web Content Management System (CMS).

Founded in 1997 with General Colin L. Powell, USA (Ret.) as founding chairman, America’s Promise Alliance is the nation's largest partnership alliance committed to ensuring that children receive the fundamental resources - the Five Promises - they need to lead successful, healthy and productive lives, and build a stronger society. Its more than 300 member organizations include corporations, nonprofit organizations, foundations, policymakers, and advocacy and faith groups.

“We wanted to develop a Web site that is creative, inviting, easy-to-navigate, and filled with valuable content for our many stakeholders,” said David Park, Senior Vice President of Communications and Marketing for America’s Promise Alliance. “Siteworx’ expertise helped us achieve this goal in a way that was both timely and cost-effective.”

From user experience and information architecture to visual design and CMS integration, the newly designed americaspromise.org required the full lifecycle of Web site development. Through a variety of software tools that enable America’s Promise Alliance content contributors and Web managers to easily update the Web site with minimal development resources, the Sitecore CMS provides far more flexibility and ease-of-use, with an authoring interface that offers strong usability and design capabilities. The new design provides increased ability to showcase and promote the America’s Promise Alliance mission, and seamlessly integrates multiple media formats—video testimonials, photos, publications and a wide range of content resources—in an engaging, easy-to-navigate, easy-to-search format.

“In today’s tough economic environment, it feels great to be able to deliver for our clients a highly-interactive, professionally-designed, scalable Web site that doesn’t break their budget. With the new Web site, America’s Promise Alliance can continue to advance its critical mission of improving the lives of children, and can tap into the Internet’s proven capacity for issue advocacy and development,” said Tim McLaughlin, President of Siteworx, Inc.

Siteworx, headquartered in Reston, Va., provides a holistic approach to Web design and application development. The full-service Web consultancy delivered the user-centered site, provided training, documentation and managed application hosting services.

“By tapping our partner network of more than 150 interactive agencies, we are in the unique position to work with companies like Siteworx, which bring the passion and design expertise that was key in building this interactive Web site,” said Jason Crea, VP Client and Partner Engagement, Sitecore. “The new site truly showcases America’s Promise Alliance’s mission through multiple content resources that engage site visitors.”
