February 2005
SEATTLE, February 2005—MercuryCloud announces the completion of the Grammy Foundation’s website, which they helped develop and engineer. Grammyintheschools.com is dedicated to educating students about music in all facets of their lives, whether it be at home, at school, or as a future career.
After consulting with Grammy Foundation site designers and mapping out the various goals, MercuryCloud engineered a navigable site that focuses on easy usability. The latest Macromedia Flash Technology was implemented to create a rich, interactive site with information and development tools that work for a wide range of potential and existing music students . Online options now include following up on the Foundation’s educational activities through Flash interviews, performances and iTunes downloads. The site also give schools the ability to register online and become a participant in the program.
The Grammy Foundation can enter content on their own through a very user-friendly back-end, allowing their web presence and educational materials to constantly stay up to date. This flexibility and scalability allows for one central location to exist where students can learn about everything Grammyintheschools has to offer.
