[CRNMC] URGENT! We have to decide on the website by Friday!

[Shannon Biggs]

Greetings all, 

Holy smokes all two websites! ;-) I¹m sorry y¹all, I only became aware of
this today, and was using the www.crnofmc.org in blogs etc. I wonder how
many peple have already visited this site?

I¹m no web guru (in terms of the inner workings of a website) but I do offer
my thoughts for your consideration. I also asked our web folks here their
thoughts as its their job to get folks to visit, and be active on the site
and to feel inspired to take action.

http://www.crnofmc.org/     will cost us $50/year
Is beautiful, professional and very engaging for people coming to the site I
feel a sense of community. This is important, as we want folks to use the
site, return to the site and spend time cruising the site, sharing the site
and finding what they need. I don¹t think $50 (which has already been spend,
I¹m assuming) is much money. Photos speak volumes, and the ability to have
photos is helpful for folks who are visual in nature, which is most people.
I wonder, for the dial-up folks, if the replacement of the videos with links
to videos would make this more user-friendly.
I think for all the purposes we have a website, this does an excellent job,
the question is, can it be made more accessible for dial-up people?

http://www.crnmc.org/        free
Very functional, content is certainly there, and I appreciate that.  Clearly
for dial-up folks this is a good website to use.

Let me know what you all decide so I can get materials made for you with the
appropriate website.


Best, 
Shannon
