We couldn’t be more proud. Fresh off our National conference came the news that momstown.ca won Best Social Website at the Blue Drop Awards. A ton of teamwork was behind the relaunch of our site – and we’re so pleased to celebrate!
momstown.ca and all of the local chapter sites (25 sites in total!) went through a major relaunch in March of 2014. Our online presence was rebuilt from the ground up, and a focus on mobile-friendly, socially integrated content was at the forefront of the massive overhaul and redesign.
Our partners at Therefore Interactive recommended a responsive web design approach – which means to the layperson that our sites 'respond' to any platform. Whether you are viewing this post on mobile, tablet, or desktop, the site optimizes size, style and function to ensure that it's a great experience for the user.
The momstown reader is on a variety of social networks and is a big mobile user – so we needed a site that would be accessible to her on all platforms and allow her to connect with momstown anytime, anywhere, from any device!
We're so pleased to be recognized as Best Social Site by the Blue Drop Awards – an organization committed to recognizing innovation in Drupal programming.
Our momstown program pass holders have really embraced the new site design as well. They can now browse the calendar and sign up for programs right from their phones. They can interact on our private community message boards, take advantage of program pass holder discounts, share content across a variety of social networks, and even purchase or renew their program pass – all right in the palm of their hand.
A project like this involved an amazing team of entrepreneurs, a terrific development team, and an HQ group that was committed to making the transition a great experience for all involved.
We'd like to thank Therefore Interactive, our developers and key technology partner, as well as Outhouse Creative who was responsible for the engaging designs you see brought to life right here.
And of course, we thank you, our readers and members, who took the leap with us and are showing us with your continued engagement that the relaunch of the site was positioned us for continued success!
