[nmglug] A website proposal

[J. Marsden DeLapp]

Remember 13 years ago when the NMGLUG helped me build a GNU/Linux
server and set up a web site of the New Mexico Solar Energy Association?

That server is still up and running, with the same Debian installation.
It has had a few hardware failures and upgrades and a few dist-upgrades
but it is still running.

The organization is looking at changing the web site and this is the
proposal that is being pushed. Does this seem reasonable?

The proposal:
-------------


Website Objectives:
Generate new clients/collaborators/followers
Increase engagement of existing clients/collaborators/followers
Promote awareness of events, content and participation
Increase readability and understanding of content
Simplify the design/layout of the website
Increase ease of use for future editing

Audience
Solar energy enthusiasts, scientists, engineers, inventors,
entrepreneurs, educators, and fellow students and peers. 

Strategy 
Convert to Squarespace.com for design purposes and for easy editing in
the future. Condense and simplify current information for readability
purposes. Increase access across computers and mobile devices for a
broader audience by increasing mobile optimization. Train a team to
understand how to make future edits. 

Deadline and Implementation: 
To be decided after meeting with NMSEA and in collaboration with the
designer, along with pricing for website hosting and designer
compensation.
