This looks great! I love how it's narrow - minimal clutter. And the options jump out at the user. They are easy to see and interpret.

Jerri Wood - (4/5), Date: 8/24/2007
I have looked at several of the informational areas and find this is a
great time saver for staff in the field.
This will be great for Patient Navigators and those in the Quality of Life area of our business.

David Neff - (3/5), Date: 2/26/2007
I thought this was a cool feature although it seems a little too tied into RelayForLife.org. Maybe you could add some cancer.org links or links to the RFL Flickr Photo group? Just expand the content a little more.

Healia External Search Engine - Date Added: 9/15/2006

Description: Updated! A potential external search engine for cancer.org that would filter out untrusted websites and allow demographic specific results.

Other User's Feedback:

Jeremy Seda - (5/5), Date: 6/12/2006
I wasn't expecting much from a Search Engine that didn't have a big name like "Yahoo" or "Google," but am impressed with the search results of this one. I love how you can switch between the basic and detailed view and the option for smaller and larger font.

Chuck Westbrook - (4/5), Date: 6/12/2006
I really like the filters, too. I filtered by ethnicity and by prevention, treatment, etc. I found it accurate. I withheld the 5th star because I thought the descriptive text could have been better, but I'm sure that's something we could work on with them.

Terry Music - (4/5), Date: 6/12/2006
Love the filters! Also, the speed and accuracy are very impressive.

Fred Welden - (4/5), Date: 6/14/2006
Demographic filtering is a *really* nice feature.

Interface has a few quirks--for example, if you search for "tumorigenic" you find one match, and the engine suggests maybe you meant "intergenic" or "tumorigenicity". But choosing either of those produces NO matches.

I'm assuming the lack of navigation is just because this is a rapid prototype.

steven wirt - (4/5), Date: 10/12/2006
The first impression is a good one. The tabbed-results feature is very nice (i.e. All; Prevention; Causes/Risks; Symptoms; etc.)

Streamlined appearance. Text pops so it is easy to find things. It does need to show a wider constituency via photo choice.

Chuck Santon - (5/5), Date: 7/28/2006
I liked the filtering immensely. Very handy and useful. Like Jeremy, I was surprised how well it competed with Google.

Great, but it needs to be tied into other things like blogs, Flickr, etc. How about volunteers being able to post their name or a screen name and contact info?

Jeremy Seda - (5/5), Date: 6/17/2006
I'm not much into these maps & mashups, but I think that a tool like this is "eye opening" in seeing how many of these events are going on across the US. And of course, there are the more obvious uses for this in being able to locate an event in your state or city. Very cool.

I love the ramones as much as the next slam dancing acs employee, and of course I love the whole web team, but I think you need to put a skip intro option on that bad boy. jakob nielsen and dee-dee ramone agree that non-optional flash splash is a thing of the past, baby.

David Neff - (5/5), Date: 2/13/2006
Very very nice! I think you could lose the Maps and Music, however I am sure that is totally customizable. I also enjoy the "Apple Style" dock across the bottom.

Other User's Feedback:

David Neff - (4/5), Date: 2/13/2006
Very nice. I voted for B or C but when you click on a program (such as Man to Man) it could take you to a micro-site such as in design F. I would also hope that we could ditch CMA and Eprise as our back-end system.

Trish Snyder - (4/5), Date: 2/13/2006
My preference is for a layout a viewer can grok with just a glance. My first choice is D, with B as a second option.

Karen Rose - (4/5), Date: 2/14/2006
Although all of the pages are better than what we have, I have to vote for F because is allows so many routes to the Division information. The site color coding and large images are very welcoming. I would hope that Divisions would be able to customize their community pages with the photo and other Division specific information.

Candace Magee - (4/5), Date: 2/17/2006
Really great progress! B is visually appealing to me (pretty/colorful), but I favor the design/layout/info delivery as presented in C.

Todd Malensek - (3/5), Date: 2/22/2006
I'm casting my secret ballot for C, b/c of its clear organization and lack of gimmickry. Definitely like the clean utily nav at the top (home, etc.), and the weight put to Learning About Cancer, Dinating, and Commity Involvement -- these are why people are visitng cancer.org, right?. Not wild for the colors, nor the distracting cropping in the image panel. Overall, a solid foundation.

Annemarie Henning - (3/5), Date: 2/22/2006
My top choice is C. It's the easiest to navigate and the most understated. It should be obvious to the user where to click; C provides that (B especially does not).

Interactive Bookstore - Date Added: 1/19/2006

Description: The ACS bookstore build-out project is the creation of a flash powered bookstore that will allow a user to select a book and simply drag and drop images of the book they are interested in, into a shopping cart without leaving the page.

If a user wants to learn more about the book, they can then simply click on details and the book image enlarges and provides description.

Roshini George - (5/5), Date: 2/8/2006
Love the interactive bookstore. So when is it ready to go prime time?

Pat Crews - (5/5), Date: 2/10/2006
Great flash work. Only suggestion would be to highlight the drag and drop (bold the instructions and/or provide a hover contect menu with instructions). Users may not immediately recognize what to do.

Amy Rovere - (3/5), Date: 2/17/2006
I like the appearance of the interactive page, but I have concerns about the details page of each book as it appears. Not all the information is viewable and it is not obvious how to navigate to view all information located on the page. There are also some formatting issues, but I am not sure if those details have been attended to yet. I also noticed some of the books on the sample page are out of print and all the books that are available are not listed. At this stage in the process are we only focusing on overall presentation and not some of those content details? Overall I think it is a great improvement and I think you guys are doing fantastic work!

Corey Shelton - (3/5), Date: 3/3/2006
It's a real departure from what we've grown used to from the major book sites. That's not a criticism, just a my opinion...I feel the frequent online book shopper will expect amazon-like functionality, for example. Also, where would the SSL encryption indicator go when you're checking out?

Mobile.Cancer.org - Date Added: 12/28/2005

Description: Ever wanted to find cancer information on the go? Perhaps you want to find out more about our events or read commentary from our top cancer experts. Now you can.
