The Evolution of Hematology.org

This year marks the 150th anniversary of the publication of Charles Darwin’s book, On the Origin of Species, in which he proposes his theory of evolution. In celebration of this scientific milestone, it seems appropriate that we would also celebrate the launch of a newly redesigned ASH Web site, which has evolved quite a bit since it was first established in 1997. You may have already noticed the incremental changes being made to the site over the last few years, leading up to this full-scale redesign.

The new Hematology.org includes a vibrant, dynamic design and new features that allow users to easily find what they need in as few clicks as possible. The site is now powered by a Web content management system that helps streamline the Web content development and delivery process and allows for automation of certain functions that were not possible under the previous static structure of the site.

We encourage you to check out (and bookmark) the new Hematology.org site; it features special top navigation and distinct landing areas for three of the Society’s main audiences: Practice, Research, and Training. In addition, the right column highlights programs and items of interest to users, and the improved left-side navigation automatically expands within each section to unveil additional content. The site also allows visitors to easily filter news items by topic or specific areas of interest.

Additional enhancements are already being planned for the next phase of the site redesign, including more seamless integration with the ASH Store and Members Only section.
