You’re seeing a new version of the NAMA website. We’d outgrown the technology and design of our old site long ago, and in 2010, we decided the cobbler’s children needed new shoes. So here you have it.
What’s on the new site:
- New navigation. We’ve reorganized our site a bit. Our old site was pretty flat, with most links on the home page. The downside there is you had to really read the whole page to find what you want.
- Best-in-class tools. We’ve also changed our platform. This site runs on WordPress, and we’ve moved to EventBrite for event registration and NING for networking. We’ll do a fuller introduction of both these tools soon.
- New NAMA logo! Last but not least, we decided a new website deserved a brand-spanking-shiny-new logo. Many thanks to Karen Cronin of Cronin Creative for donating her time and talents to NAMA.
Many people went in to the decisionmaking and the work behind this site. Hammock Inc. donated its time and the web-maven talents of Megan Morris to pull all the pieces together, on a quick timetable.
And finally, thanks to the other members of the web task force who met several times this spring and summer, brainstorming possibilities, nailing down the details and figuring out how the new website would work within our organization:
Bob Duthie of Bytes of Knowledge
Jeremy Gossett of Affinion Group
Nicholas Holland of Centresource
