2	Individual Website Updates All website home pages, interior pages and email templates have been designed, and many have been approved and uploaded to the regional website system server.
3	Individual Website Updates The new regional data center is being incorporated into each site through the following navigation links: Profile & Data, Real Estate, and Regional Calendar. We’ll also be working with each community on bringing the regional brand to the local level in a way that fits for your community, while taking advantage of the Regional Branding’s half million dollar marketing campaign.
4	Individual Website Updates The next step is moving each current website’s content to its new website templates on the server. We are working with each organization on their content, and part of our role is to edit and provide new content where needed. Any of the organizations that gave us final approval within the designated timelines will be in the first round of websites to launch. Once we get each organization’s final design approval, it takes approximately 2 ½ months to go live with the site.
5	Development Updates Backend administration is being integrated into all of the designs that have been uploaded onto the RWS server. This includes: The content management system (CMS), for easily updating web pages. The editor will have the look and feel of a typical word processing program, making it very user friendly and simple to change text, upload graphics and add links. Each organization will also have the ability to determine access levels for their CMS, so they can have control over who is updating their different web pages.
6	Development Updates The membership management database, for maintaining membership profiles and lists, member communication, and accounting, including member transaction summaries and invoicing. Like the CMS, this system will enable participants to set access levels. It will also enable members to submit calendar items and send other Chamber members emails, RSVP to events, and it allows Chamber to member and member to member communication. It also integrates with the Chamber’s invoicing and accounting systems.
7	Development Updates An eMarketing system, so participants can create, manage and track their online marketing campaigns. Lists can include members and nonmembers, and there will be an opt in/opt out management feature, as well. The system will also include website analytics and website banner advertising management.
8	Development Updates Online, custom form creation for event registration, membership renewals and other automated billing functions that will integrate into the organization’s accounting system. Other features are a News section, Newsletter section (with archiving capabilities) and a global website search tool for easier navigation.
9	"We’ll be making recommendations for..." We’ll be making recommendations for an automated merchant processing company (i.e. online credit card processing), so participants can integrate this into their own system or work with a processing company that they prefer.
10	"We’re continuing to work with..." We’re continuing to work with Sierra Pacific Power Company on the development of the Real Estate and demographic sections of the Regional Website System. We’re also working on the design of these sections. The demographic information feed is under construction and should be ready for Sierra Pacific Power by first part of June. This system will provide automatic XML and RSS data feeds, so all demographic data will be automatically and regularly updated on each participant’s website.
11	"Another part of the regional..." Another part of the regional website system is calendaring. The three calendars have been developed: An organizational calendar, which lists the events associated with each organization (i.e. Chamber mixers, Economic Development meetings, etc.) Each organization will also have their own community calendar, which allows the organization’s members to post events, and the organization can approve these before uploading. Each organization can also opt to post their own or their community’s events to a regional website calendar, which can display all of the events from the participating regions. Instructions and parameters will be posted to help everyone maintain consistent information.
12	"We have selected the online..." We have selected the online weather information banner for providing both regional and local weather information. We’re developing an online user’s manual. Additionally, each participant will also undergo one-on-one onsite training for managing their new sites and systems. There is an 800 number and there will be an online help desk available 24/7. We are always available to assist you with any website needs throughout this project.
