As a function of the National Bicycle Greenway relaunch here in Indianapolis, the Greenway Capital of America, we have had to completely overhaul our web site. For that we have been working with Blue Host, one of the 20 largest web providers in the world, hosting well over 2 million domains. We had needed a lot of horsepower to pare down most of the 1,000+ pages that used to help us keep our vision out there to a now still active archive.
Since last March, with their help we have been able to file anything away that did not serve our purpose of making the route we long have foreseen from San Francisco to Washington, DC a reality. Now people can volunteer to house long distance riders, keep us informed about the conditions of the roads and paths between cities, submit reports about their own riding experiences on these roads, etc.
In addition, our landing page needed to show the 20 NBG Anchor Cities our 12 years of Mayors’ Rides and NBG Scouting missions have determined will be necessary to serve as magnets to one another. Since because of its Downtown Greenway completed in 2013, downtown Indianapolis has become the bike friendliest downtown in America, we needed also to reflect how our mission is changing with the times. Since the Indianapolis Cultural Trail, has brought about a business central that is struggling to keep up with the demand for new businesses and housing and caused an unprecedented explosion of wonder and excitement for cycling, it has become the template for how we plan to go forward. And we feel the design teams at Blue Host have helped us communicate our change in direction.
See the all new:
