I've been building websites for 15 years, on subjects ranging from music retail to building contractors to astrology. But I never thought I would build a web page for testicular cancer. Not until now. It reminds me of a database administrator I knew who took a job maintaining databases devoted to diarrhea. It is amusing in a low-brow, scatalogical way. But in all seriousness, it is important work nonetheless.

CAWOOD recently launched two new sites for Northwest Specialty Clinics. Originally intended to be one site, it was decided the content for the Cancer Care Alliance was large enough to merit a site of its own.

The main Northwest Specialty Clinics site launched in May, and it was a pleasure to build. A beautiful design, and very few gee-whiz-flashy web gizmos allowed for a smooth development cycle.

The Cancer Care Alliance site soon followed, launching just yesterday. Another simple and elegant design, but the content was a bit different with this one. Browse the Cancers section, and imagine having to carefully read and edit every word of these various forms of cancer and their symptoms. It was an unusual experience, to say the least.

I am glad to have had the experience and proud to be associated with these websites. I hope we, as humans, manage to abolish these deadly diseases someday, and I applaud those who work with them every day.
