To better serve its international community, ONO partnered with Honeytree to redesign its website into a modern, engaging hub.
Jeff and his team were great partners and still are. They quickly understood our needs and wishes, so they could help bring ONO's website to another level.
ONO's previous website had become outdated and difficult to manage, hindering its ability to effectively support members and communicate its mission. The site lacked modern design elements, user-friendly navigation, and the flexibility to showcase ONO’s expanding resources and global initiatives. Additionally, ONO was managing members and memberships manually, which was time-consuming and prone to errors.
To address these challenges, ONO partnered with Honeytree Technologies to redesign its website into a modern, engaging hub. Honeytree recovered all of ONO's data, reorganized web pages, and redesigned the site to provide a clean, user-friendly interface. They removed outdated applications, pages, and plug-ins, enhancing the site's performance and manageability. Furthermore, Honeytree implemented a modern and low-cost membership system, streamlining the management of members and memberships.
The redesigned website has significantly improved ONO's digital presence. The modern design and intuitive navigation have enhanced user engagement and accessibility. Members now have streamlined access to resources, event information, and networking opportunities. ONO staff can efficiently manage website updates and memberships, allowing for more timely dissemination of information and improved member management. Overall, the new website effectively supports ONO's mission by providing a modern platform that fosters community engagement and promotes journalistic integrity.
