“SolutionSet helped us build a site that contains lots of information but at the same time is well organized and not cluttered. We have received many compliments on how warm and friendly our new website looks and how easy it is to navigate... SolutionSet was always very professional and quick to answer our questions.”
— Marcey Winawer, Project Manager, Kol Emeth
Client
Kol Emeth is a traditional, egalitarian conservative synagogue located in the heart of Silicon Valley. Through their classes and programs, congregants have many opportunities to be part of the Silicon Valley's largest Jewish community.
Challenge
Update site and make it easy for staff to maintain and manage it
Kol Emeth's old website did not accurately represent their congregation's vibrant community and diversity. Information was poorly organized, making the site hard to navigate for visitors. Additionally it was difficult for Kol Emeth's staff to update their website on a regular basis. The challenge was to alleviate these pains and to position Kol Emeth on the web with equal dignity and recognition as their physical presence in the Silicon Valley.
Solution
Website redesign and new content management system integration
SoultionSet worked closely with the Kol Emeth to reorganize their information architecture, streamlining their index depth and building a user friendly navigation schema. The creative team prominently utilized photography of Kol Emeth members in a refreshed look and feel to showcase the passion and excitement of the community. SolutionSet integrated an open source content management system with a web based calendar system, allowing the staff to showcase upcoming events. SolutionSet trained the staff to efficiently update their content and manage a busy social calendar of events with simple web based administration tools.
