The South King County Cultural Commission came to me because I had designed the Eastside Arts Coalitions first website. They didn’t have a logo. In designing the logo and looking at their domain name possibilities, I came up with the idea of calling it SoCo, catchy, like SoHo in NYC. Currently the site uses a free online calendar that all member organizations can access to add events and ListMessenger for monthly email newsletters.
Fast forward five years. We just completed a make-over using the benefits of the WordPress database to restructure information and improve visitors’ experience. You can now search the site, display information by location as well as categories. The best part is that the client can now maintain the entire site themselves. Even the slideshows!
We are writing to let you know how delighted we are with the major upgrade you performed on our website! Throughout this process, you have demonstrated patience and good humor in working with our committee, which included both technophobes and the computer literate. You’ve done a great job of listening to our ideas and our needs and translating those into a website that is engaging, informative, and attractive. When we’ve had questions, you’ve been very accessible and helpful. You’ve made it easy for us to share information, and easy for our website visitors to obtain information. We are simply thrilled!
