Coalmarch Productions®, a leading service provider for online solutions, designed and developed a website for Girls on the Run (GOTR) of the Triangle, Inc. The Website features a Drupal based content management system (CMS). The site provides a range of needs common to many non-profit organizations.
“The attractive design and the super user-friendly content management system is more than we could have ever expected,” said Kelly Hurter, executive director of GOTR. “In addition, the new site makes it so much easier for our staff and board members to communicate internally.”
The site utilizes structured information architecture to interface with the community-at-large in a marketing capacity to appeal to potential program participants, philanthropists looking to donate, and volunteers looking to get involved with the organization.
The second phase of development will launch in March and addresses the internal needs of GOTR by providing a platform for program coaches, volunteers, board members and administrators to share information and collaborate to further the mission of the organization.
“We have had a wonderful experience working with Coalmarch. We were coming from a ‘do-it-yourself-on-a-dime’ website and looking for an upgrade in both design and functionality,” said Hurter. “Coalmarch was professional in working with us on design concepts as well as web tools that would best fit our needs. They have had wonderful support and patience with us throughout this process. In the end they are dedicated to providing us with a total package that is not only pleasing to the eye but functional as well.”
