HFM Receives Food Management Magazine's "Top 100 Website For Foodservice Professionals."

Alexandria, VA (November 2, 2001) - The National Society for Healthcare Foodservice Management’s website (HFM.org), a NeverLand project, was recently placed in the ”TOP 100“ websites for foodservice professionals by Food Management Magazine.

This site provides the association’s main interface to the web for visitors, potential members, and the press. It also hosts an extensive private section for members only. This site was designed to take full advantage of the CUE system. Much of the information provided by the site to visitors and members is contained in the association’s main database; to simplify the process of keeping this information up-to-date, CUE allows the client to upload their database via the web. CUE supports full customization of the online database which allows more information to be presented to members than visitors. The client is also able to add / remove press releases, add / remove job openings posted by members, and post PDF versions of their quarterly newsletter. An interface for viewing full site statistics for the current month or past months (archived monthly), updating the search engines, and managing the bulletin board system is also provided.

“We have worked with HFM for many years now to implement every new feature on their IT wish list. We are pleased that this site has received such a recognition this year from a leading industry magazine,” remarked Patrick Mills, CEO.
