Our New Website
Re-designing our SiteTo address two primary issues:
1. Our site needs to be more user/device friendly
Solution: Re-design categories and navigation. Includes site shortcuts/upcoming events/highlights. Additionally, this software allows for easy viewing on other devices, i.e. tablets, iPads, smart phones, etc.
2. A need to keep site information updated
Solution: using a Content Management System (CMS) makes it easy for anyone to update a section; does not require knowledge of web languages.
