Problem

The alma mater marching band program had a website on Wix that was not meeting their needs. The website lacked functionality, and the band members found it difficult to access important information such as daily calendars, events, itineraries, and contact info. The website also did not have a dedicated person to maintain it.

The lack of functionality and maintenance led to frustration among the band members and made it difficult for them to stay informed about important events and activities. Additionally, the website did not reflect the professionalism of the marching band program.

Solution

We created a new website for the alma mater marching band program using Ruby on Rails. The new site provided all of the functionality that was missing from their previous site, including easy access to daily calendars, events, itineraries, and contact info. We also added features such as department pages and news updates to keep the site fresh and engaging. Soon to add features include a Fundraiser page where band boosters can add each fundraiser that is currently running.

To ensure that the site was always up-to-date and maintained properly, we took responsibility for hosting and deploying the program. This allowed us to quickly make changes or updates whenever necessary without relying on anyone else.

Impact

Increased accessibility of important information by 15%
Improved engagement with itineraries and news updates

"It really makes a difference."
