Special needs, special solutions

A website for an organization with a membership base is designed with the same considerations as a commercial site: it must play a role in the organization's strategy and should not simply be a decoration (or distraction) hung off on the side.

There are some special considerations, though.

  • The site may be aimed at both the membership of the organization and a larger audience, perhaps the general public. These two targets may need different approaches, both in the same site.
  • If the organization has events that need timely posting on the site, then keeping the site up to date is crucial for serving the members. NetTenna's exclusive EventMaster resource can do this automatically.
  • The site may be maintained by more than one person, possibly volunteers and possibly not experts in web technology. The site must be easy to work with and accommodate various levels of skill and attention.
  • Non-profit organizations especially may need to balance cost with features. NetTenna can help make sure that effectiveness is optimized in the process.

NetTenna is prepared to create a powerful website for your membership organization. It wouldn't be the first time for us - check out the Oregon Symphonic Band for a world-class example.
