Yellowseed helps empower a town’s citizens
We launched NCES.ca today, a website for a local non-profit group (NCES = Nelson Citizen Empowerment Society).
It’s cool to be able to offer functional donations to groups such as NCES. We wove community building features into the NCES site including: mailing list sign-up, events calendar; issues bulletin and a blog. Communication is the heart of groups such as this, and so we included the ability to post content and add comments directly to the website.
Building an interactive website is but one ingredient in a social networking recipe. The true flavour comes from the voices of its members. The saying “if you build it, they will come” does not hold true for the Internet. A vibrant, active site requires the regular human touch - the dialogue between members.
We wish NCES all the best - and hope that this site opens the doors for deeper discussion.
