NEW YORK--July 19, 2002--Razorfish, Inc. , the digital solutions provider, today announced it has developed a website as part of the 100-year anniversary of Ford Motor Company.The website is one of the key elements in the automotive manufacturer's centennial celebration, which will culminate on June 16, 2003.
Ford engaged Razorfish to develop a centennial website which would serve as a tool to celebrate the history, provide inspiration, and project the corporate vision moving forward. The site is designed to cater to past and present employees as well as customers and enthusiasts, and to be seamlessly integrated with the existing www.ford.com website.

Razorfish was responsible for the content requirements, information architecture, visual design, interface development and technological implementation of the commemorative site, which showcases the online anniversary celebration and all its supporting features. A combination of historic and contemporary images from Henry Ford to the TH!NK(TM) electronic vehicle creates a testament to the company's 100-year impact on the automotive world and beyond.
"The site is meant to recognize Ford's 100 years of automotive advancements, while serving as a rallying point for its customers and employees," continued Frend. "Our goal was to create a site that would make the greater Ford family proud to be part of this historic milestone."
Ford and Razorfish have been collaborating on a variety of digital initiatives over the past two years, including iterations of the company's website at www.ford.com.
