For Immediate Release
Columbus, OH –
Tradition plus technology equals keeping up with the times for the 44-year-old
German Village Society, housed in the renovated German Village Meeting Haus at
588 South Third Street, just south of downtown Columbus. The Society, with over
400 members, is revamping their website with the help of Breakpoint
Interactive.
Breakpoint’s
owner, Braddley Addams, a German Village Society member and long time past
resident of German Village, just moved his business into the area on 468 City
Park Ave. “I don’t think their old website reflected the charm and flavour of
what the Village is all about. It didn’t fit.”
Addams is not
only customizing the new site, he is making it compliant with section 508 for
handicapped accessibility. In other words, the site will have a document title
and proper description, no redundant tags, etc. Just as brick-and-mortar
buildings need to be handicapped-accessible, Addams believes websites will
similarly follow suit in the near future.
But there is
much more to the site than advanced technology. Representing the people and
residents of 233 acres, the German Village Society is a revenue generator via
multiple audiences; tours, members, historic preservationists, students and
general visitors. And their site needs to address each group; for example, it
needs to offer a map, parking locations, visitor center information, how to get
a parking permit, events’ calendar and more.
“The site needs
to have a clear and cohesive fashion,” said Katharine Moore, executive
directive of the German Village Society. “It takes a lot of hits.”
The Society
appreciates their new site and welcomes visitors to keep an eye on www.germanvillage.com as it changes to
the new format.
“It was a real
relief to be able to use Bradley’s expertise,” said Moore.
In celebration of the new site, Breakpoint
Interactive is offering a free initial project or website review consultation. Breakpoint
Interactive offers a wide range of professional web design and development
services to establish or enhance presence on the World Wide Web. They work with
a team of qualified specialists in web design, multimedia development, copy
writing and database-driven applications to assist in this process. And they
use leading edge design and development programs, innovative graphics and
imaging software and the latest in computer technology.
