Friends Of The Wissahickon Launches New Website
|
|
The Friends of the Wissahickon have launched a new website to make it easier to navigate, provide more information about the Wissahickon, allow visitors to report problems in the park more easily and share pages via social networks. "The new website is a dynamic and useful addition to FOW’s work," says Executive Director Maura McCarthy. "One of the features we are most excited about is the line of communication it opens to the public to report park problems and help us resolve them in partnership with Philadelphia Parks and Recreation in a faster more organized way."
Special Features on FOW's New Website
-- An RSS feed that will alert someone when FOW posts news on the website;
-- An online form visitors can complete to report problems in the park, with the option to upload photos, such as felled trees and collapsed trails, and enter GPS coordinates;
-- Current weather information on every page;
-- The ability to share pages via social networks;
-- Quick links to the most-visited pages on the website, such as hiking and park maps;
-- More photos and a wider layout to accommodate new computer monitors; and
-- Improved navigation with bread crumbs and sub-menus.
According to McCarthy, the new FOW website was made possible with grants from the William Penn Foundation and the 25th Century Foundation, and was designed using traffic information from the old website as a guide.
"We knew what the public was looking for when they visited our website," she says. "The new website design helps deliver that information more directly and will be an asset for our membership, the public, and our volunteers."
