The site was originally designed in 2006, hand-coded from scratch, and not terribly fun to update, but it served its purpose and hosted all the info we need!
But it desperately needed an update, and while it’s been on my radar for a few years, just didn’t have time to get around to it until now.
Very happy with the new look, it’s on WordPress now and can focus on serving up stories and sharing local resources in a much more dynamic way!
I’ve started with importing the blog from the old system, and will continue to update the site in the upcoming weeks.
I’ll restore all our activism resources (some neat content that goes back quite a way!), add listings to local groups and orgs, and have some plans to display all the local vegan and vegan-friendly venues in a much more modern way. (Tho nothing wrong with a good old list!)
I’ve got some ideas for a bit more visitor interaction as well, and depending on the level of interest, might organize some events as well.
In the meantime, be sure to follow our social media – our Facebook page has been around forever, but I’ve finally started an Instagram page as well. And sign up for our email updates so you don’t miss out on anything important!
