Cultivating Digital Success:
The Frederick Area Landscape Contractors and Nurserymen Association Case Study
At Frederick Choice Digital, we specialize in transforming organizational needs into exceptional digital experiences. Our collaboration with the Frederick Area Landscape Contractors and Nurserymen Association (FALCAN) is a prime example of how a strategic website redesign can enhance functionality, visual appeal, and member engagement.
Client Overview
The Frederick Area Landscape Contractors and Nurserymen Association (FALCAN), a distinguished organization in Maryland dedicated to promoting landscaping excellence, recognized the need for a website that reflected their industry leadership and facilitated better interactions with members and potential new members. Their existing site was outdated and lacked the functionality necessary to meet the modern needs of their community.
Design & Development Approach
Modern and Engaging Design
Our redesign aimed to capture the essence of FALCAN’s commitment to the landscaping profession while providing a visually appealing user experience:
- Visual Revamp: We introduced a fresh, professional design that highlights the association's core values and services. The new layout features high-quality imagery of landscaping projects, vibrant colors, and modern typography.
- User-Friendly Navigation: Simplified site structure and intuitive navigation make it easy for users to find information about membership, events, and resources.
- Mobile Optimization: Ensured the website performs flawlessly on all devices, providing a consistent and engaging experience whether users are on a desktop, tablet, or smartphone.
Enhanced Functionality
To address the association’s need for improved functionality, we incorporated several key features:
- Member Portal: A secure and easy-to-use portal where members can access exclusive content, update their profiles, and manage their membership details.
- Event Management System: An integrated system for scheduling, promoting, and managing events. This includes features for event registration, calendar views, and automated email notifications to keep members informed.
- Resource Center: A comprehensive library of resources including industry news, educational materials, and best practices to support the professional development of members.
Improved Member Engagement
Enhancing interaction with both current and prospective members was a central focus:
- Interactive Features: Introduced forums and discussion boards to encourage member engagement and facilitate community building.
- Lead Generation: Streamlined contact forms and membership sign-up options to attract new members and capture inquiries efficiently.
- Content Management: Implemented a flexible CMS that allows the association to easily update and manage content, ensuring the site remains current with the latest news, events, and resources.
