Cincinnati Parks launches new online Park Finder
Posted by Summersault on October 29th, 2002CINCINNATI, OH – The Cincinnati Park Board on Tuesday unveiled a significant new area of its website, developed by Summersault, LLC. The “Park Finder” allows residents of Greater Cincinnati to search for and view information about natural resources in ways that are centered around their needs.
“The tool completely changes the way a user interacts with the website,” said Chris Hardie, Principal Developer at Summersault and project lead. “Previously, they could just look at a long list of parks and click on one without really knowing if they wanted to visit that park. Now, they can search for parks near them, or parks that have particular trails, or parks that have programs for kids. The possibilities are endless.”
By leveraging the power of databases and of web-based management tools, Summersault was able to create a system where all the information about the Parks can be searched and displayed in ways that are meaningful to individual users, instead of a “one size fits all” approach.
As a part of the new feature launch, the site also includes a new dynamic events calendar, and a new system for displaying Parks-related news. However, the bulk of the improvements, says Hardie, were behind the scenes. “We created a significant amount of online administrative resources for the Park Board staff. Now they can manage and grow their website on their own, instead of depending on Summersault or other third parties,” he said. Read the rest of this entry »
