[nfbmi-talk] Michigan Web Site

[J.J. Meddaugh]

Take a look at Google Sites. You should be able to use it to add/create 
pages  for free and grant access to whoever you wish. You could also 
integrate the existing site pretty painlessly with it.

>> Hello,
>>
>>
>>
>> I am writing to update everyone on our progress on getting our web page
>> updated and most important, getting our site operational to sell coffee
>> and
>> items made by blind people.  Our site is called Natures Finest Bounty
>> (check
>> the initials).  We will sell 10 coffee selections.  3 of our flavors are
>> cherry, blueberry and hazelnut, all Michigan produce.  We are looking for
>> blind persons who make things of a quality to be sold on our site to get
>> in
>> touch so we can begin to develop our products.  If you know of anyone who
>> makes nice items, or you make something you would like to sell and you 
>> can
>> make an ongoing supply, please let me know.
>>
>>
>>
>> Regarding our Michigan web page, I would like 3 to 5 of your priority
>> features such as Events, Chapter info, etc,  you feel are important to
>> have
>> on our site.  We have looked at some other state websites.  Mostly, they
>> are
>> not real exciting.  The good thing is they are accessible and 
>> informative.
>> I hope to make ours cool, informative and low maintenance.  Please take a
>> couple minutes to consider what you would want others to see if they 
>> visit
>> our site.  Colorado has a nice website, so you may wish to look at it.
>> Remember, we want it to be visually attractive for our sighted friends to
>> enjoy and appreciate.  You may be assured we want our site to be
>> accessible
>> and interesting to people who use screen readers and screen enlargement
>> software.
>>
>>
>>
>> We are trying to keep costs down on this first iteration, so it will be
>> basic with few, if any, bells and whistles.  As our treasury permits, we
>> will continue to expand the features until we get the coolest website in
>> the
>> Federation.  I know cost is important, so simplicity and low-maintenance
>> are
>> our guiding principles for now.
>>
>>
>>
>> So, please take time to look around and see what you like on other sites
>> and
>> add anything you may personally like.  I cannot promise that every idea
>> will
>> be included.  I can guarantee that no idea will be included if you don't
>> let
>> me know.  Thank you for your help.
