Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Content-Disposition: inline TO EVERYONE - I am sending a copy of this email to others on the chamber committee. Hopefully they will look at this and RESPOND about how they think it should be organized. So - Lori, Casey, Patty & Michel - what do you think? Please read this email and let me know what you think. Should we just have "Services" with a long list of all of the services. Or have subgroups in the services category - which would mean an extra "click" in the site? Please let me know asap so Dustin can get this going!!!! - thanks, Joyce Dustin, Thanks for talking to Lori & me yesterday on the phone. I think it was really helpful. And I think that we are all in agreement about the structure/organization of the site. Lori contacted Justin about setting up the new account - so hopefully you'll be able to get things set up soon. Lori and I divided up our list of "to do" items and are working on them right now. Here is the info I said I would send to you: The nav. buttons on the home page will be as follows (this is just a confirmation, not a change) --- Home Attractions Directory Schedule of Events Maps & Location Photo Gallery Visitor's Guide Chamber Info. Contact Us CATEGORIES FOR ATTRACTIONS: Beaches & Parks Harbors & Boat Launches Fishing & Hunting Golf & Other Outdoor Activities Lighthouses & Other Historical Sites Museums, Art & Theatre My understanding is that you are setting up the link on the home page from attractions to "the list" - then we will be putting in the remaining info., including photos. Lori & I looked at the categories for the member directory, and thought that it should probably be in alphabetical order (except civic/corporate sponsors). However - we wonder if we should think about dividing up the "services" category. Here is the list--- CATEGORIES FOR DIRECTORY: Food & Dining Lodging Marinas & Fishing Recreation & Entertainment Shopping Services Corporate Sponsors Civic Organizations The "services" category is a large one that incorporates MANY subgroups (12). The subgroups are as follows (with the number of businesses in each): Automotive -1 Banking/Financial -3 Communications -4 Community Planning & Engineering Consultants -1 Contractors/Home & Farm Suppliers -2 Health & Beauty -5 Insurance -2 Media -4 Printing/Promotions -2 Real Estate/Condos -7 Transportation -1 Trucking -1 If you think this might be too too overwhelming - we could maybe combine some. For example: Automotive - Transportation - Trucking -3 Banking - Financial Services - Insurance -5 Communications - Media - Printing - Promotions -10 Community Planning/Engineering Consultants -1 Contractors - Home & Farm Suppliers 2 Health & Beauty -5 Real Estate - Condos 7 What do you think about this, Dustin? Because there are sooooooo many businesses in the services category (33), do you think we should have sub-categories? Or is a list of 33 services okay? If you think we should divide them up into sub-categories - is our original 12 sub-groups okay - or should some be combined like i did in the list right above this paragraph? If only takes it down to 7 sub-categories when I combine some. The 12 sub-categories are how we have them divided up in our Visitor's Guide. Speaking of the Visitor's Guide. I have the 3 pdf files - but I think that Kathy made an additional correction at the printers when she was doing the press check. I am waiting to hear from her about whether there was a change or not. I should be able to send the files to you later today. I still have to finish writing the info for the home page. I hope to have that to you today also. Talk soon. If you have any other questions, just email me or Lori. Thanks, Joyce
