Hospice Wins Web Site Award

A nonprofit recently received recognition for a new web design project that took time, dedication and a lot of hard work for everyone involved.

The judges at DesignFirms.org announced that the Hospice of Little Traverse Bay web site earned the DesignFirms Web Design Award for November 2005.

“As part of our Capital Campaign, we knew our website would play a major role in providing the public with news and the status of the hospice house we're building,” stated Lisa Ashley, Program Director for Hospice of Little Traverse Bay. “We worked with the design team at Harbor Springs Web Design to address our needs for taking online donations and presenting news easily.”

The Hospice of Little Traverse Bay web site was revised in August 2005 to improve the function as a marketing tool and educational piece for the organization. Donations can now be made online and registration forms are available on the website for upcoming group sessions and conferences. The site was design by Harbor Springs Web Design.

“We are honored to be recognized by our peers for a project that holds such a special place in our hearts,” said Marcie Szczubelek, partner with Harbor Springs Web Design and member of the Hospice Capital Campaign Committee.

The web design team received high marks in the following categories: Creativity and Design, Programming and Compatibility and Ease of Use & Effectiveness.

“Nonprofit organizations that provide such an important service to the community need a web presence so they can get their message out,” said Cindy Dickson, partner with Harbor Springs Web Design and member of the Hospice Capital Campaign Committee. “With their commitment to the community, Hospice of Little Traverse Bay is very deserving of an award winning web site.”
