Parsippany, NJ (Business Wire) 19 May 2010

Interactive Media Associates, Inc. (IMA), a digital agency that specializes in the design, development and commercialization of Web services, today announced the release of Opera Shop,? s new website at http://www.operanews.com.

â? I love the new, energized http://www. operanews.com, that’s true Cyber-Elegance, â? responded to a reader of Sitea? s blog.

IMA and the Opera News staff significantly re-opera fans the original content to offer a truly accessible Opera News online edition, pairing their new architecture with a stunning new design that highlights your site Web 2.0 organized refinement. The Sitea? S Homepage calls various sections of the publication, the reader a glimpse into the rich content from deep within each publication. Users wishing to subscribe to the publication are a click away. Also clearly presented on the homepage are links to exclusive online content, enriching the web experience. The Sitea? S multimedia options have been improved. Prospective customers have a variety of placement options, from the flight of the page, picking a specific section, while the stylish design prevents the page from ever feeling crowded.

The site was developed

with the Ektron Content Management System (CMS), allowing employees to focus on their editorial mission to promote the art form of opera rather than wrestling with technology. This was particularly important not only because the publication will appear monthly, but because news that are published for the opera world constantly online. Ektronâ? S SmartForm technology was extended to the client to give content in one place, and have it in different flavors on different sites spread throughout the site â? For example, on the homepage, the contents and on the department landing pages.

â? The revised operanews.com is a big step forward, as our established readership and newcomer Opera, â interacts with the magazine? Opera News Online editor Adam Wasserman said. â? The design, the load at a time, efficient and functional, emphasizes the breadth of content on the website and in the print edition presented. It really is the opera-Lovera? S home on the Internet.â ????
