How do schools become safer, healthier, and more conducive to learning? For the answer, look to the National Clearinghouse for Educational Facilities. Established in 1997 by the U.S. Department of Education, the purpose of the NCEF is to be the authoritative resource on building, planning, and improving schools that give children the tools they need to become successful.
The information architecture of the NCEF website lacked a logical navigational system. It was unmanageable, cluttered, and frustrating for site visitors. Accessibility to current news, events, and published materials was limited due to a convoluted hierarchy of site links. In essence, NCEF's primary mission to serve school administrators, teachers, and parents was diminished by a website constructed on faulty foundations.

BrowserMedia concluded that the site lacked functionality and needed to be rebuilt from the ground up. By analyzing what people sought from the site, BrowserMedia’s web developers smoothed and extended the functionality of the site's web applications, developing a more streamlined, easy-to-use interface. In addition, a more robust search engine was incorporated. This allowed site users to utilize an advanced search for published material in much the same way one would find on a public library's intranet. NCEF’s website was given a vibrant new face, which rebranded the organization as a trustworthy authority in its field.
Users can now effortlessly locate information on the site, and user satisfaction is at an all-time high. Because of the improved functionality and information architecture, NCEF can now provide its clients and members with a valuable resource on the Internet. With the new site architecture, it can also extend the same resource to new clients and members that seek to give the nation's schools a firmer foundation.

In 2006, NCEF received the "Association - Best in Category" award from the Web Marketing Association, the top honor in their industry from a pool of more than 2000 applicants.
