Remember 13 years ago when the NMGLUG helped me build a GNU/Linux server and set up a web site of the New Mexico Solar Energy Association? That server is still up and running, with the same Debian installation. It has had a few hardware failures and upgrades and a few dist-upgrades but it is still running. The organization is looking at changing the web site and this is the proposal that is being pushed. Does this seem reasonable? Mars ------------- The proposal: ------------- Website Objectives: Generate new clients/collaborators/followers Increase engagement of existing clients/collaborators/followers Promote awareness of events, content and participation Increase readability and understanding of content Simplify the design/layout of the website Increase ease of use for future editing Audience Solar energy enthusiasts, scientists, engineers, inventors, entrepreneurs, educators, and fellow students and peers. Strategy Convert to Squarespace.com for design purposes and for easy editing in the future. Condense and simplify current information for readability purposes. Increase access across computers and mobile devices for a broader audience by increasing mobile optimization. Train a team to understand how to make future edits. Deadline and Implementation: To be decided after meeting with NMSEA and in collaboration with the designer, along with pricing for website hosting and designer compensation. -- ============================================================= J.
