It was a challenge, but once we realized that a spade and a rake were not the right tools for creating HTML code for our new website, things started to move along fairly quickly. From our first meeting back when the greenhouse was still warm(ish) and the greens were still growing, it’s only been about 75 days since we decided we were going to create an Enright Ridge CSA website until we posted it and made it live for all of our members and folks interested in becoming members.Seventy-five days—let’s see, if memory serves me, there are several kinds of tomatoes that go from seed to ripe fruit in 75 days. Indeed, the whole process of getting the website online has required as much preparation, sweat, and nurturing as any of our crops. We planted those little coding seeds and watched them grow into about a half-dozen colorful pages that are bursting with information to bring us some new members for the 2012 season, as well as keep our current members informed about what’s new with the Enright Ridge CSA.
By the way, the new website is located at www.enright-csa.org and we encourage everyone to bookmark it and visit it frequently. If you see anything that looks like a weed or a pest, let us know and we’ll take care of it. But we hope our website flourishes and helps all the members of the CSA communicate better in the upcoming growing season.
The new website is awesome - so beautiful and really exemplifies the unique community component of the Enright CSA vs. other CSAs. Great job guys ;)
ReplyDeleteThank you, Amy! This was the easy part, the "public" online face of the CSA. Our next goal is to plot out management software we can access online, for the staff to plan and schedule and the members to find and track work hours. We are hoping to organize what we need and then plan a consultation with Vince & company to see what we're looking at, then go out there and get us a grant to continue what we've started!
