A Facelift for EMWP

by Karen Chichester

Last spring our Advisory Board decided that it was time for our website and our brand to be reimagined. We really needed two sites, a clean, easy-to-navigate public face for EMWP and a community site. We also wanted a site that was collaborative and easy for our program leaders to edit, and why not throw in a new logo that would bring us into the digital age?

Bill Tucker, Nick Kalakailo, Kevin English, and Karen Chichester, Tech Liaison took on this redesign, drafting Shari Hales to design the new logo. After some discussion, the team decided that moving to Google Sites was our best option.

We are proud to announce that our new site is up and running on Google Sites. It can still be accessed from http://emichwp.orgor http://www.emichwp.org. Please check it out. You will find lots of information about our programs and links to upcoming events. The main updates include a clean, modern interface, increased ease of site navigation using a horizontal navigation bar, and a new logo. Community site features:

This site will feature links of interest to EMWP TCs and will host our program archives including pictures and notes. The links are active, but the archives are still in the works. The community site can be reached from the main site via the EMWP Tab or by going to http://community.emich.wp.org.
