How We Have Helped
The Ridgway Chamber of Commerce hired Joomla Design Studios to transform their online presence and better serve their community. We developed a modern, user-friendly website tailored to their needs, incorporating key features such as membership management, event management, a comprehensive business directory, and a news section. These tools empower the Chamber to engage with its members and the broader community effectively, providing a centralized platform for communication, collaboration, and promotion of local businesses and events.
One standout feature is the integrated trip planner, which enhances the visitor experience by allowing travelers to explore and organize their time in Ridgway. This tool aligns with the Chamber's goal of boosting tourism while showcasing the area's unique attractions and services. Additionally, the event management system and business directory make it simple for members and community users to stay informed and involved, creating a dynamic hub of activity and information.
Overall, the work we have done with the Ridgway Chamber of Commerce has strengthened their digital footprint, streamlined their operations, and fostered greater community engagement. By delivering a robust and flexible online platform, we have helped the Chamber support local businesses, promote tourism, and connect with their audience in meaningful ways.
Event Management
The Ridgway Chamber of Commerce approached us with a request to enhance their website by adding a feature that allows community members to submit their own events for display on the website's calendar of events. To meet this need, we developed a versatile component that seamlessly integrates into the site. This tool is accessible both in the backend administration area for website managers and on the front end for members and community users. The feature empowers the Chamber to manage events efficiently while fostering greater community engagement by making it simple for members to contribute and share their events directly through the website.
Business Directory
The business directory on the Ridgway Chamber of Commerce website serves as a vital resource for showcasing local businesses and supporting the regional economy. This comprehensive directory allows businesses to create and manage their profiles, providing detailed information about their services, contact details, and unique offerings. For the Chamber, it’s a powerful tool to promote its members, attract visitors, and encourage community engagement. By offering an organized, easy-to-navigate platform, the directory not only enhances visibility for local businesses but also helps the Chamber fulfill its mission of fostering economic growth and collaboration within the Ridgway community.
Membership Management
To streamline operations and enhance member engagement, we developed a membership management component for the Ridgway Chamber of Commerce. This feature enables existing members to easily renew their memberships and allows new members to join by selecting from a range of membership options. The system simplifies the process by securely handling payments and automatically integrating new members into the Chamber's business directory. This seamless experience not only saves time for both the Chamber and its members but also ensures that the directory remains up-to-date, further strengthening the Chamber’s commitment to supporting local businesses and fostering community growth.
