A Small Town
Historical Society
Looking Modern

[ut_header align=”left” font_weight=”” title_color=”#252525″ title=”Fairview Area Historical Society”]The Fairview Area Historical Society in Pennsylvania had an unlimited budget and money was no option.

KIDDING!

Like any small town entity, nickels count.

This volunteer organization had a website that, like itself, was quickly becoming a relic. I loved setting them up for success for generations to come.[/ut_header]

The Project:

Small town historical sociey – limited budget.

Ok, so we are starting from scratch.

What are best practices to ensure their success for the next 100 years?

Modernize and future proof?

Deep breathe – let’s do this.

The Fun Part:

In addition to just “making it look good” and modernizing the website there were a lot of tweaks the staff were unaware of.

Let’s change the “print and mail” membership form.

Let’s set up a calendar of events.

Not knowing what the Internet will look like in 10-20 years – let’s prepare for it.

As we implimented changes and upates, established work-flow, it was awesome to watch the web traffic escalate.

Still working on a few pages and loving watching the site evolve.
