Website Development
Beta Site Edits
Improve ‘about us’ to focus on who this group is vs. what city has done.
Climate 101 – put on main bar.
About Us – take
the bar away.
Cross-section of the community; select partners so this is true.
Add ‘Be a Partner’ more prominently.
Paula: we need a list of ‘seed’ partners. What needed: perhaps just
agreement with our mission.
Agreement: would be good to have a list of initial partners.
General agreement that being a partner should be a carrot, not a stick.
We should make a business/
organization distinction.
Water/Waste/Food section
Incorporate all three into the landing page. Can be done without being too long.
More accordions needed for website layout.
External
links should be clear, so people aren’t startled by being taken outside of site.

Workshop series scheduled; at weatherization center, beginning in earnest
in November. Friday lunches.
