Site launch for the Native Sons and Daughters of Greater Kansas City

The content continues to evolve, but the largest share of work is complete for the Native Sons and Daughters of Greater Kansas City site. The site was previously built in a haphazard manner, and rarely updated. The look roughly compares to the previous look, with the addition of events in the right-hand column.

The image at the top changes next. The organization is 70-plus years old, and has a long history of preserving Kansas City’s past. Several sites, including Fort Osage in Sibley, Missouri, Union Cemetery, in Kansas City, Missouri, and the Town of Kansas site, were revived and maintained with efforts of the group. Given that background, and a deep set of print archives, I’ll be pulling imagery from the archives to use for the header image.

And since the membership is still oriented to a 1980’s approach to content, member engagement, and activity, bringing more content into the site is critical to making the organization meaningful to people under the age of 40. That means more content, which in turn requires a plan to condense the navigation on the left and top to a more manageable list. So, more to come.
