MorphoSys’ web site is scoring!
Apr 13, 2007
Once a year, NetFederation creates a ranking of the Investor Relations online sections of German Aktiengesellschaften. In the context of this IR benchmark study, MorphoSys AG was able to chalk up a very special price: The relaunched web site – designed and coded by 3st – sports the greatest increase in total score (by 21.8% to currently 60.1%).
The ranking is based upon four criterias: “Story”, “Service”, “Technology” and “Visual Design”. Despite of some new legal conditions, the average quality level of the web sites were increasing, according to the study. But none of the 110 analyzed companies (DAX, MDAX and TecDAX) could improve itself to such an extend as MorphoSys AG did with its fresh, accessible and user-friendly web site. More detailed information and benchmark listings are available at the study’s web site.
The new 3st Project Portal
Feb 07, 2007
Be it annual reports, corporate magazines or image folders - since five years, the Project Portal stands us and our clients in good stead, if it comes to the efficient organisation of content and layouts. But because good is never good enough for us, our New Media unit recently developed a whole new version of the project portal from scratch, which cuts out the existing mistakes and brings on some new strengths.
Under the hood, the Project Portal works with a modern and agile framework called “Ruby on Rails”. The user interface has been completely redesigned and offers some elegant JavaScript effects, which improve general usability and accessibility.
More new features at a glance:
- Flexible page layout and improved readability
- Simplified user experience
- Faster loading through sleek HTML code
- E-mail notification with permalinks to new entries
- More flexible permission handling
- Full text search, even within documents
- Generally improved data security
Watch this Demo-Video (Flash, 8 MB) and you’ll get the idea from our Project Portal. If you want to have more information, simply ask for a test account!
