Stanly Regional Medical Center Recruiting Microsite
XHTML & CSS Cutup from PDF file / sIFR Text Replacement / Forms
Stanly Regional Medical Center in North Carolina wanted a site to help them recruit medical professionals to their area. The agency designed a microsite with benefits for moving to the area and ways to collect and manage recruitment information.
We used sIFR (an accessible JavaScript/Flash hybrid) to give us headlines in the client’s favorite font. On the web, you’re generally limited to the fonts your user has installed on their system. With this creative alternative, we can provide many more options for custom typography without sacrificing accessibility. If the user doesn’t have Flash or JavaScript installed, they’ll simply get the headlines in a font on their system like usual. That’s called “progressive enhancement”, and it means that the code is written for the lowest common denominator, with extra features built in for those whose computers can support it. It’s a great way to add bells and whistles without creating a bad experience for anybody.
We also had large forms in this site that reported back to a database to help the client manage the contact information of potential candidates. When a interested recruit filled in the form, all their information was recorded and saved in a database system for easy review and retrieval. They could view, print, and hold on to the information indefinitely.
Stanly Regional Medical Center stopped their recruitment in late 2008, so the site now just redirects to their homepage; but I have held a copy back for review at my staging server.
