Visit: Evergreen Foundation
Launch Date:

Case Study: 

The Evergreen Foundation's mission is to help advance public understanding and support for science-based forestry and forest policy. To this end, it operates its website as an online journal designed to keep Evergreen members, students, elected officials, grassroots groups, and the news media abreast of issues and events that are impacting forestry, forest communities, and the forest products industry.

For most of its history, Evergreen Foundation published and distributed a printed magazine called Evergreen Magazine. With the rising cost of printing and distribution, and the rapidly expanding reach of the Internet, the Foundation decided to move Evergreen Magazine from print to the web.

Project Objectives
 
The existing Evergreen Foundation website had to be upgraded to include digital back issues of Evergreen Magazine, a content manager for vast amounts of web-exclusive content, a membership manager, integration with Google's Picasa photo gallery content, an online video section, and a user-friendly interface the client uses to update the site on a daily basis.
 
Project Technology Features
  • Content manager for web pages
  • Magazine back issue manager
  • Web exclusive content manager
  • Member manager including member directory
  • Social media integration
  • Photo gallery integration with Google Picasa
  • YouTube integration for videos
Results
 
With Point One Media's help and expertise, the Evergreen Foundation's magazine successfully transformed itself from a printed publication into a premier online destination for forest science and information. The Foundation is now well positioned to continue its mission of educating people about the importance and the truth about sustainable forestry.

Testimonial

We've been Point One customers for many years. Two years ago, they rebuilt our entire website, transforming it from a stodgy site few ever visited [most industry websites are like this] into a vibrant electronic news service that is the most visited forestry website in North America. I'm pleased to recommend Point One to anyone interested in following our lead. Theirs is a top quality service. The staff is energetic, imaginative, creative, and very dedicated to helping us grow our news service into the powerhouse we know it can be. —Jim Petersen, Founder and Executive Director of the non-profit Evergreen Foundation & Publisher of Evergreen Magazine
