SOMERSWORTH, N.H., March 26, 2010 – Strafford Nutrition Meals on Wheels has launched a new Web site donated as part of Danconia Media's grant program specifically geared toward Granite State nonprofits and charities.

The site – located at www.straffordmealsonwheels.org – was built using a highly user-friendly, open-source content management system (CMS) that the organization can now use to maintain it in-house. The design was headed by Danconia's Becky Gallant, who made sure the site's content would be easy for elderly visitors with poor vision to read and navigate.

Using the site, visitors can find information about Strafford Nutrition's services, eligibility requirements, volunteer opportunities, news, fundraisers, upcoming events, and even donate to the organization directly. Before the site launch, the organization did not have its own Web site. The nonprofit received its first online donation the same day the site was launched.

“It didn't matter if it was by phone or e-mail, they were there for guidance, building a wonderful site easy for seniors to maneuver,” Laurie Eastwood, Strafford Nutrition's nutrition coordinator, said. “With the help of their great staff, we are now able to reach out to people, receive donations online and let them know about our services that they or a family member might need.”

SALEM, N.H., Sept. 30, 2009 – The Salem Animal Rescue League today launched a completely redesigned Web site that was donated by New Hampshire-based marketing and design firm Danconia Media.

The site – located at www.sarl-nh.org – was donated as part of Danconia's Web design grant program for Granite State nonprofits and charities. It was built with a highly user-friendly content management system that will allow SARL members to add and modify content within moments. Danconia is also providing hosting services for SARL free of charge.

“They captured exactly what we were looking for in a very user-friendly Web site,” SARL President Lori Bertrand said. “I am delighted with the outcome of this project, as it will be used by our volunteers, staff, donors and adopters to advance our shelter's operations and save many more lives of companion animals.”

On the site, visitors can see pictures and videos featuring dogs and cats that are currently available for adoption, donate money to the organization by check or credit card, see upcoming events, sign up to be a volunteer, apply to be a cat or dog foster parent and get pet care information, among many other things. The site also integrates SARL's Twitter and Facebook pages, which the nonprofit uses to communicate with its supporters.

WEARE, N.H., June 18, 2009 – Danconia Media today launched a completely redesigned Web site for the Community Services Council of New Hampshire, which received the services for free as part of the design and marketing firm's grant program for nonprofits and charities.

The site – located at www.cscnh.org – was built using a content management system that makes it easy for the Pembroke-based nonprofit to maintain in-house. It features about 15 pages spotlighting CSCNH's many services geared toward needy homeless, developmentally disabled and elderly people throughout the Granite State.
