&description=New Web site for a Vital Advocacy Organization
The Berndt Group designed and developed a new web site for The Council on Quality and Leadership (CQL), implementing the site in the Ektron 400 CMS. CQL is a nonprofit that provides thought leadership in the area of quality of life for intellectually disabled individuals. As such, it provides standards, accreditation, and discussion for other organizations that service these individuals, policy makers, and serves as an advocacy tool for families of the individuals. Through groundbreaking research and publications; trainings, workshops and conferences; accreditation and certification programs - CQL continues to shape the future of disabilities services. The new web site needed to reflect the mission and goals of the organization. In addition to clearly conveying the organization's mission, the new web site provides greatly increased usability, creating an invaluable resource for CQL's community and constituents. CQL can now reach out to its community by featuring related content throughout the site. CQL is one of the few organizations that offers training, certification and accreditation resources through its web site; the new site serves as a valuable tool for the international community. The new site presents the organization as a leading consultant and resource for organizations with similar goals and standards. CQL's Ektron CMS integration allows them to integrate current content throughout the site, keeping the organization's community up-to-date on pertinent certification and accreditation information, allowing constant communication with the CQL community. Additional functionality includes the CQL Store; this section of the site is integrated with StoreFront, an eCommerce third party system. |
