Case Study: Amtrak enhances its history website with Six Feet Up's Plone-powered redesign

Amtrak refreshes its History website with Six Feet Up in 2 weeks

Amtrak, America's railroad operator, needed to update its History of America's Railroad website following a 40th-anniversary campaign. The challenge was to implement a new design, replace outdated images and content, and promote blog posts more effectively to visitors. Amtrak enlisted the vendor Six Feet Up to perform this work using the Plone content management system.

Six Feet Up implemented a new interactive slideshow to present content and updated the site to prominently feature recent blog entries. They also added a custom blog template supporting embedded videos and integrated social sharing tools. To make the content more attractive, Six Feet Up developed a new feature to ensure an image displays next to every item in the archives. The result is a refreshed website where everyone can easily learn more about Amtrak's history.
