Ansel is currently the only nationally available, independent healthcare organisation solely dedicated to providing bespoke in-patient assessment and treatment for people with personality disorders.

With their new website Ansel have the ability to manage and update their content themselves without the need for any specialist software, all they require is access to a browser meaning that they can make changes wherever and whenever they like. This is only the first phase of deliver for the web site. In a second phase it is planned to incorporate such things as a subscribers area and members forum, along with microsites for each of their clinics.

Their new website utilises Joomla 1.5 to provide full management of all the sites content. In addition it has a number of key features incorporated to meet ILG’s requirements:

• Dynamic style sheet selection for accessibility
• Dynamic font size selection for accessibility
• Interactive location map
• Site search facility
• Rotating image slideshow
• Pop out video player supporting a wide range of video formats

The site has been built of accessible to WCAG Level AA and allow all the site content to be managed via the CMS administration control panel.

Whilst being a primarily static website key areas of the website are able to be updated easily by JTI themselves without the need to edit any of the HTML, or using a full featured content management system like Joomla. We have done this by making key parts of the site, as agreed with JTI in advance controlled by a single external XML file that JTI can edit outside of the website and upload separately.

This is in effect a half way house between a truly static site and a feature rich content managed site.

The update was to incorporate a new micro-site for a forthcoming conference into their existing website.
