I recently released a Farcry website that has been in the works for seven months (over half a year).

 

Middlesex Hospital

http://www.middlesexhospital.org/

 

This is a very large website with over 10,000+ visits a day.  It involved the joint-effort from several companies for R&D and content research (as well as marketing demographics) and the launch coincided with a large marketing campaign that included multiple TV, radio, and print ads celebrating the hospital’s centennial and recent medical technology push to be ahead of its competitors.

 

I wanted to thank a few people from the Farcry community that helped out along the way (directly or indirectly).

 

  • Daemon Internet Consultants (http://www.daemon.com.au/)
    • For the Farcry product.
    • For allowing me to add useful functionality to the Farcry core that helped to benefit others and helped this project reach its goal for web standards use).
    • For their patience when dealing with my continual questions and modification requests.
  • Spike Milligan (http://www.spike.org.uk/)
    • For flying out to Connecticut (USA) at the last minute (during the last two weeks of development) to help me finish up the remaining code pieces and meet a ridiculous deadline (given just three weeks before launch).
    • For re-writing the Farcry Friendly URL applet to allow our marketing department to use urls based on dmNavigation alias names (example: Alias for a nested navigation = midRadiology, the result is http://www.midhosp.org/go/midRadiology. Short and sweet. Great for marketing print ads).
  • Chris Kent (http://www.mxdesign.co.uk)
    • For helping me design the concept and code for the /go/aliasName (he likes to call it NUFU) and a newer version of buildLink.cfm (which is backwards compatible).
  • Many Others
    • There are so many other people that have helped along the way.  From the Farcry mailing list to many people in the web standards community (a few from here).

 

I have released several Farcry websites (most intranets) and would never have posted anything here like this in the past, but this project has been in the works for a long time and involved help from so many of you that I believed you desered many thanks.  So many of my little questions along the way have been answered by so many people here that I can’t thank them all by name.  You know who you are :)

 

Thanks again everyone.
