Mt. Washington Valley, a
stronghold for sustainable tourism
NON-PROFIT WEBSITE DESIGN
01 BACKGROUND
Protect, Respect, Preserve.
A chamber of commerce in a region with a classic legacy of tourism, an expanding outdoor recreation community, and a region full of full-time residents to serve, all during a global pandemic. How do they identify what types of visitors they attract, and how can they make those visitors care for preserving the natural beauty and local soul of the region as much as the Chamber does?
These are some of the questions MWVCC spent 2020 answering, and with a reinvigorated sense of purpose and new ways of serving their member businesses, we partnered to update their website.
02 EXECUTION
Meeting the needs.
With over 640 members, from plumbers to ski resorts, and visitors of every age and demographic, it’s a challenge to build a site that meets the needs of every group. Like all our projects, we started by asking questions. A lot of questions. Eventually we were able to build out user profiles that allowed us to imagine actual people from each of these groups, with whom we could empathize and hopefully understand.
Comprehensive search and filter.
The new site features a comprehensive search and filter system, which assures the member businesses that anyone looking for them will be able to find them, and means locals and regular visitors to the region can get right to what they’re looking for.
Dynamic content, curated experiences.
Rather than one-size-fits-all copy on static pages, the site features dynamic articles on curated experiences for every type of visitor, and a new immersive section lets users get inspired by experiencing the region in every season, using engaging, first-person visuals.
