Spine-health launches new design, usability enhancements

Posted on 30. May, 2008 by Carolyn Shelby.

DEERFIELD, Ill. — Spine-health, a leader in online back pain and spine surgery information, announces the launch of their newly redesigned Web site. The new look marks a second wave in a series of usability enhancements that include additional functionality, improved speed, and enhanced navigation.

The initial phase of usability enhancements focused on behind-the-scenes technology and laid the groundwork for future growth.

“In February, we kicked off our improvement plan by implementing new systems that allow dynamic content serving, significantly increased the site speed and provided the room we needed to grow and continue improving,” said Mark Achler, CEO of Spine-health.

As part of the new software roll-out, the entire library of more than 2,000 physician written and peer-reviewed articles, plus the blogs and contributions of 10,000+ active users were ported into a completely new content management system.

“This second phase is exciting because it’s a truly visible sign of the progress we’ve been making. We’re very excited to continue expanding and enhancing our content and functionality to better serve our members and visitors,” Achler added.

Spine-health serves nearly 1,000,000 unique visitors per month, and features in-depth content, written by physicians and peer-reviewed, on pain topics specifically related to spine and back conditions. Spine-health is considered an authority on topics like back pain, chronic pain, osteoarthritis, osteoporosis, lumbar and cervical spinal stenosis and co-morbidities of those conditions such as depression, stress and sleep problems.

Ever lose your cell phone? Are you familiar with the pit of black, festering panic that settles into your stomach when you realize you don’t have it and the odds you’ll find it again are slim to none? Imagine that feeling multiplied by a million — because that’s how losing your laptop feels.

Think about it — your laptop has your life on it. Work files, email, bookmarks, project notes, projects that are still in development and not ready or suitable for other people’s eyes, and then let’s not forget all of your software and music.

Ponder for a moment all the seriously BAD things that will happen if you lose your laptop. [...]

Prefabricated Steel Buildings Save Green in More Ways Than One

Posted on 06. Jan, 2007 by Carolyn Shelby.

Deerfield Beach, FL (PRWeb) January 5, 2007 — With construction season fast approaching, Metal Buildings R Us (www.MetalBuildingsRUs.com) is starting 2007 in high gear with new marketing initiatives aimed at educating consumers about cost effective and environmentally friendly prefabricated steel buildings.

“Environmentally friendly and ‘green’ building practices are buzzwords being thrown around a lot now, but people still think that making the effort to not harm the environment means sacrificing either quality or raising the cost of building to prohibitive levels. That simply isn’t true anymore,” said Dan Rice, of MetalBuildingsRUs.com. “Green doesn’t have to equal sacrifice or huge expense.”

Prefabricated steel buildings are building code compliant and lower maintenance than wood and cement block construction for residential and commercial applications. These steel structures also tend to have a dramatically shorter completion time than that of a traditional building project, which reduces the time and cost commitments of expensive labor. [...]
