Developing the EEN Website: - Environmental Evaluators Network

Introduction
Communication is the key to many aspects of life, and that holds true in a
personal, parental or even a business relationship. So why does the EEN need a
website? Well, what better way can anyone communicate information and visuals
in one place, instantly?
Websites allow people and organizations share their goals and information
through many forms of interaction. From written articles, to interactive logic
models, to data visualization and pictures, anyone can get a quick and clear idea
of what that person or organization is all about.
The EEN knew it was time to join the online world. It has been an exciting time
of expansion, and like all growing organizations, so were the demands on the
EEN to meet their participants’ needs.
This presentation will give an overview of the goals sought out by the EEN to
bring multiple, unique and complex environmental organizations together
online and show how the core elements of website development were successfully
implemented. First, EnvironmentalEvaluators.net displays many features found
in today’s popular website design styles. Next, it uses simple graphic design
principles to achieve visual appeal. Third, the website encourages interaction
from its participants through blogs and social networks to share ideas and
comments. Finally, search engine optimization, both on and off page, increases
website traffic in order to continue to grow the EEN.
