Planners Network Boston Chapter (PNboston) was first established in 2008 as the local effort for the national progressive planning organization. Over its first two years, the chapter built its membership and developed a number of regular events. Its expanded efforts required additional communication methods. To build upon its current efforts via a Facebook page and Google listserv, the group undertook putting together a website.
The initial website that I developed was a simple Google Site. The leadership team liked the ability to provide all of the group’s information in one location and decided after a couple of months with the Google Site to move forward with a more customized website. In order to keep costs minimal (read $0), I turned to Tumblr. The design I created utilized a similar design one creative shop had considered for Tumblr but never programmed. The concept is that of a daily newspaper. All the important news and information flows through the homepage (and RSS feed) with additional information (like the group’s Google Calendar) on separate pages.
