Client-Managed Content Improves Union Communication
Sunday, November 23rd, 2008A United Auto Workers Union Local Hall expressed interest in implementing a new website for their organization. The union then got involved in contract negotiations and they simultaneously started having problems with their existing website/email communication system. Some union members had to use the local newspaper to learn the status of the negotiation. So, replacing their website/email communication system became urgent.
Aspbury Consulting & Solutions worked with the union to develop a new website and integrate their email distribution list system into the new website. We designed new headers for a clean and professional appearance.  Using WordPress, we quickly implemented a content management solution allowing union leaders to easily issue news releases to its members. We provided on-site training to the users. The solution included more cost-effective hosting and domain name transfer.
After the negotiations were completed and contracts were approved, we worked with the union on broadening the scope of their new website to include other divisions and embedded a google calendar into their site for communicating meetings and other events.
