Community & Events Website Design
Sustainability and economic growth is a multi-faceted and complex subject. One challenge to smaller communities is to succinctly communicate and promote their programs, events, activities and places to explore.
Municipalities and volunteer event groups work hard to create feel good, quality of life events for their residents which they hope will appeal to the broader public. The challenge becomes one of communication. How does one effectively communicate what a community is all about, how it feels about itself and what it offers residents and vistors / tourists?
A tourism / community website which has been carefully crafted to effectively give visitors and residents a look into the pulse of the community, it's heart and soul so to speak, reaches them on a deeper level. Statistics show that 80% of the population now use the internet to search for information to educate themselves before making leisure, travel and purchase decisions, and to research communities before they purchase their home.
Any region has the potential of being a ‘go to’ neighbourhood and place for recreational activities. In order to do this they need a website and internet presence which clearly showcases and communicates who they are and what they have to offer; followed up with internet marketing which is supported by print and other media. By promoting what is perceived to have ‘tourism appeal’, one can turn a browser into a ‘day tripper’ supporting local events, places and businesses, and has the potential of turning them into neighbours.
Website as Resident Portal A well designed tourism website should endeavour to be a residents source to activities and places to explore in their community. A website which offers an event calendar, news and other regional resources, by it's nature becomes a communication system and a meeting place and communication system for residents.
