Website Notes

We understand that our website must play to a broad audience. We endeavor to bring each of you a wealth of information in a clear format with easy navigation and maximum utility.

Our most recent version of the website (February 2007) uses a "pod" structure and subtle backgrounds for our home page. Our home page is ever-changing and we like to use lots of color and distinct logos for our events. A subdued framework helps bring these elements forward.

Our top priority is to get you where you want to go. We hope you find our navigation to be well organized and light on its feet. A search box at the top of every webpage will assist you in finding whatever you're looking for.

Even though our website contains over 100 pages, we work hard not to overwhelm you. We hope that good organization, links to related items and the clean look of the site helps achieve this.

Clients

You can quickly survey our programs and policies. Our locations section features links to get individualized driving directions with printer-friendly webpage versions.

Donors and Volunteers

If you can simply offer a warm smile or a kind word of reassurance then you can be one of us. Why not become a volunteer? Explore all of the opportunities available by clicking on the "Giving" tab on our menu.

Professionals

Referral sources can receive weekly updates of our program vacancies along with on-line admission forms and additional program information. Contact jbennett@childrensbureau.org.

Child Advocates

Child Advocates will find an extraordinary assemblage of information under our "Advocacy" menu tab.

Career Seekers

Career offerings are instantly updated by Human Resources as soon as they are available.

Students

85 historical photographs and over 150 years of CB and Indianapolis history are available in our history section. Undergraduate and Graduate students can study us in detail throughout the website.


Technical Notes

We use Macromedia ColdFusion and SQL Server database to bring you dynamic content. Staff use simple webforms to enter information for selected areas of our website. Careers, Volunteer Opportunities and Needed Items are updated in real time directly from their departments.

We test all pages in our website for cross-browser compatibility.

In addition to the public website, Children's Bureau also has an IntRAnet for employees where we maintain a calendar, announcements, document archive and global phone list. There are also several mini-websites built to serve specific departments and their clients.
