SOMERSWORTH, N.H., March 26, 2010 – Strafford Nutrition Meals on Wheels has launched a new Web site donated as part of Danconia Media's grant program specifically geared toward Granite State nonprofits and charities.
The site – located at www.straffordmealsonwheels.org – was built using a highly user-friendly, open-source content management system (CMS) that the organization can now use to maintain it in-house. The design was headed by Danconia's Becky Gallant, who made sure the site's content would be easy for elderly visitors with poor vision to read and navigate.
Using the site, visitors can find information about Strafford Nutrition's services, eligibility requirements, volunteer opportunities, news, fundraisers, upcoming events, and even donate to the organization directly. Before the site launch, the organization did not have its own Web site. The nonprofit received its first online donation the same day the site was launched.
“It didn't matter if it was by phone or e-mail, they were there for guidance, building a wonderful site easy for seniors to maneuver,” Laurie Eastwood, Strafford Nutrition's nutrition coordinator, said. “With the help of their great staff, we are now able to reach out to people, receive donations online and let them know about our services that they or a family member might need.”
She added: “I highly recommend their services for anyone looking to have the pain taken out of creating a great Web site.”
Previous recipients of Danconia's Web design grants include the Salem Animal Rescue League, Community Services Council of New Hampshire and Woodnet Market Council. Danconia is about to begin working on a donated site for the Weare Public Library. New Hampshire nonprofits and charities can submit applications for consideration at www.nhwebdesign.org.
“We were pleased to help such a worthy organization get the word out about its cause online,” Jon Simoni, a Danconia marketing advisor, said. “Thanks to their dedication to this project, we were able to get the site up and running in a very timely manner so they could start seeing the benefits of it as soon as possible.”
