Website Overview
The goal of our website is to be a similar experience of walking in to our branches. The website must be concise and easy to navigate. It must be visually engaging through the use of images and design principles.
We want our website to be mobile and tablet friendly. Our goal is to update the website at the middle of each month. We will use third-party plug ins to automatically update our event calendars.
Website Organization
Our home page will contain snippets of key information from our events, and quick links to Collections, E-library, and Services. It will briefly mention any important message to members such as ongoing changes and development. It will be in the style of one page website to be compatible with mobile devices.
Below is a chart of our website plan including details on the main tabs, sections, and pages.
Website Sections
My Account tab leads to a log in or create an account page (new registration). All member accounts will be in this section.
Collections tab leads to an universal search box, dedicated option to access only online collections, special collections, and request an item. Our catalogue records will be in this section.
Events tab will cover the various programming at our branches on a weekly and monthly basis. It allows our members to quickly find and register for our upcoming events. All event blog pages will be in this section.
Local Info tab will list all the available resources in our community. It further confirms our role as a community hub and important source of information for members of our community.
Service tab will list all the available services we offer. From accessibility to room bookings, we hope to attract our members to use more of our existing services. By simplifying our booking process, we hope that our members receive the assistance they require.
Lastly, our About Us tab will be where library information can be found. From hours and branch details to job postings, the About Us section should answer any questions about the library, our community, our promotional and website plans.
Website and Promotions
One of the main purpose of our promotional plan is to direct current and potential clients to various sections of our website. Our Instagram and TikTok will focus on the services and events sections. Our print campaign is designed to introduce the features of our library. The promotional plan will support the information contained on our website.
