Do you or does your organization need a web site? Consider WordPress. Currently the most popular CMS in use on the Internet, WordPress is a dynamic content management system (CMS) and semantic publishing platform with a focus on aesthetics, web standards, and usability. In addition to this website, here’s two more examples of WordPress in action: Highlight HEALTH and Highlight HEALTH 2.0 promote advances in biomedical research and new ideas impacting health and medicine. Each website receives tens of thousands of visitors every month and supports a team of writers that publish news stories multiple times a week.

Are you keeping your head above the proverbial “water” of the web and the rising tide of data and information? Content curators are the new superheros of the web. Curating information in your area of knowledge and passion is a Herculean task. A high performance, scalable Drupal CMS can help make that task easier. Case-in-point: at Biomarker Commons, I aggregate the latest biomarker news and research focused on biomarker discovery, development and use.

Modern, streamlined, cutting-edge. Habari is a next-generation blogging CMS. I use Habari for Indiana Life Sciences, which focuses on the life sciences sector in Indianapolis and the greater indiana area.

Aggregate content. Be a resource. Help fulfill your organization’s mission, provide a member benefit, and draw new users by offering valuable information. Here’s a great example: Neuroscience Commons. Running on the Drupal CMS, which has a robust point-and-click permissions system, the website provides the flexibility necessary to manage user submitted content together with aggregated content.

Save you and your company from information overload! Use a fully automated aggregation system to stay on top of events in your industry. Pharma Commons is a great example of such a system. Using an informatics backend to aggregate and filter data, the website automatically parses news and events on almost 80 life science companies every 30 minutes.
