Solution
Light modern design reflected Koltsovo image in a precise
way.
CMS DotNetNuke was used for the solution of the set
tasks. The base functionality of this system was widened and updated, a unique set
of skins, providing a convenient and modern mean of presenting information to the
user, was developed. The whole administrative interface was located in order to
lighten moderators' work. Delimitation of access rights and zones of moderators'
responsibilities allowed to constantly maintain currency of information on the portal,
make operative changes in the portal's content and avoid mistakes when moderating
the content. A set of functional decisions, such as forum, voting, comments, forms
for sending messages to the email of portal administration and representatives of
science-city authorities, was implemented in order to provide a two-sided communication
between Koltsovo town-hall and portal users.

Results
The client received a powerful, adjusted and ready
to use tool for an effective communication with a wide audience of users. Moderation
of the content is simplified to the maximum extent. WYSIWYG (what you see is what
you get) editor is used, so the moderators can only possess basic computer skills
for a successful fulfillment of their tasks. With the portal implementation, Koltsovo
town hall received an opportunity to inform the population about programs and projects,
held at Koltsovo enterprises, to more effectively attract investors for collaboration,
inform citizens about different events, held in the science-city, and also receive
necessary information from the portal users. Implementation of such a portal renders
a positive influence both in an economic way, due to a more effective search of
partners and investors, and in a way of setting more tight and clear connections
with the population and maintaining of Koltsovo science-city modern image.
