SACF and Team 218 Web Services Craft a Community Hub
In the quaint town of Solon, Iowa, where the pace of life is as leisurely as a Sunday stroll, the Solon Area Community Foundation (SACF) embarked on a digital journey that would see them leap into the 21st century. Enter Team 218 Web Services, a band of web wizards from North Liberty, who, with their magic wands (or keyboards, if you will), decided to weave a tale of community spirit and digital prowess.
The SACF, dedicated to building Solon’s future through community projects and scholarships, found itself in need of a digital home that could reflect its heart and mission. This is where Team 218, with their motto “Imagine – Create – Impress,” stepped in, not just to design but to collaborate on a vision. They didn’t just build a website; they crafted a digital community hub.
The collaboration was a match made in digital heaven. Team 218, known for their work with small businesses and nonprofits, offered their services pro bono, a gesture as generous as the SACF’s own mission. They captured the essence of Solon, from its iconic spots to its community spirit, in pixels and code. The website, now live, is a testament to what happens when community service meets digital innovation.
The process involved more than just coding; it was about understanding Solon’s heartbeat. Team 218’s Chuck Hersey, with over 20 years of web-building experience, didn’t just create a site; he helped tell SACF’s story. They used WordPress as their canvas, painting with SEO brushes and hosting as their frame, ensuring the site not only looked good but worked hard for the community.
This partnership isn’t just about a website; it’s about empowerment. SACF now has a digital platform that not only showcases its projects but also engages the community, encouraging donations, and involvement. It’s a beacon for what community foundations can achieve with the right digital partner.
So, here’s to Team 218 Web Services and SACF, proving that in the digital age, community spirit can be as strong as ever, even through the glow of a screen. Their collaboration? A masterpiece in the gallery of digital community service.
