WHO THEY ARE: A 100 year–old faith–based hospital that takes its mission of healing very seriously.

THEIR BUSINESS: Providing cutting edge medical care to all people, regardless of their ability to pay. Their dedication to the healing arts resulted in their achieving series of important “Firsts”, including the first hospital in the world to offer angioplasty in an Emergency Department and the first hospital in the nation with an accredited chest pain center.

WHAT WRL GAVE THEM: Since 1997, WRL has worked with Mercy to develop a feature–rich site that continues to evolve. The custom programming of the Mercy Jobs area allows them to securely post job openings and collect online applications, saving them money by avoiding traditional job boards. Numerous administrative modules using CMS allow Mercy representatives to maintain the online features such as class registrations, donations, physician directory, and news and events. Other features include eye–catching colors in a clean–looking design; simple site navigation; Mercy News with RSS feed; and an integrated custom site search. All of this built on a foundation of a dynamic programming language with a database backend.

UPDATE 2010:

In mid-2010, WRL consolidated the over six years worth of technology that ran the Mercy Medical Center website into a new CMS platform.

Moving forward with a unified backend technology, cantonmercy.org is now easier to update, maintain and extend with new features.

WRL also too the opportunity to update the design with a fresh look, paying close attention to site navigation. This process allowed WRL to deliver a site where functionality and user experience happily blend together.

The site evokes emotion, is relevant and provides practical results.
