Case Study: Website Makeover and Content Management
National Association of Social Workers, Virginia

Challenge

The Virginia Chapter of the National Association of Social Workers wanted to transform their existing website into a more sophisticated and attractive organizational tool for member communication and interaction. The Chapter also required a solution that would allow them to maintain and update their website in-house with no programming capabilities required.

The site needed to let visitors easily find health information and resources related to book topics, while also integrating a robust content management system that could be utilized by BWHBC staff for efficient site updates.

Solution

Human Service Solutions constructed a fully dynamic website with the following features:

  • Custom design integrating the Chapter's image and message
  • Web-Based Content Management System for easy and convenient site updates
  • Integrated database for collection and management of member data
  • Automated secure online forms for processing advertising orders, conference and continuing education registrations
  • Fully integrated email management and message boards for on-demand communication and community-building among membership
  • Password-protected members only area with member-specific features

Results

The Chapter and its members now enjoy an enhanced Internet presence that allows for greater communication between membership and administration while providing value-added benefits and an improved organizational identity.

Our website was delivered on time and on budget, and the initial planning process was incredibly smooth, thanks to your very client-centered philosophy. The resulting website isn't cookie-cutter or boilerplate, and included everything that we wanted - something other web developers just couldn't do.

The response from our members has been incredibly positive. You enabled us, a smaller state association, to provide our members with a website a large company would be proud of.

I thank you for your endless patience, advice, and gentle reminders. NASW-Virginia wouldn't hesitate to do business with you for future upgrades, and we're always pleased to act as a very enthusiastic reference for your company.
