Pacific Logging Congress

The goal of the Pacific Logging Congress (PLC) is providing sound technical education about the forest industry. Founded in 1909, the Pacific Logging Congress has sought to educate politicians, educators, students, and the general public about the need for sound, responsible forestry to supply global needs for wood fibre.

The PLC executive needed a new and professional website to reflect the Association's strong commitment to the North American Forest Industry. The site also had to promote their educational programs as well as their convention and Live In The Woods event. 

Objectives

PLC was working with a tight budget but still needed at first class website to help effectively position the Association in the information age. The main focus of the project was to create a design concept and some basic content management tools to allow the Executive Board to maintain their own content as required. The site also had to include social media integration in order to appeal to students who go online to research the forestry industries.

Technology Features

• Customized design concept
• Content manager for web pages
• Integrated social media

Results

The PLC web project met and exceeded the expectations of the Executive Board and provides the Association with a great foundation to grow its online services for both its members and the industry. The new site, now combined with social media, also provides the PLC with a great platform to promote the It takes a Tree Program.

As executive director of the Pacific Logging Congress I have worked with Point One Media since 1999. It is truly an honor to work with them. They take the time to understand their client's business, which is very helpful in designing a site. Their expertise and knowledge of the latest technology in the “Internet” world helps to keep the client’s website up to date.

I feel comfortable in working with them; they explain in easy ‘layman’ terms of each step they take in developing the website. They work hard to stay within your budget and to make sure ‘you’ the customer is extremely happy with the end result.

If you are considering working with Point One Media, I would high recommend them. You won’t be disappointed.
