March 5, 2009 Missouri rural water offers web design discounts to members
ASHLAND, Mo. – The Missouri Rural Water Association is helping its members move into the future by offering their members special deals for web development and internet services. MRWA has teamed with World Visions Internet Services to provide discounts to association members for a variety of internet services. “It’s the same company we built our site with, and we had such a good rapport,” explained Randy Norden, MRWA Deputy Director and coordinator of the agreement. The idea came from a combination of member requests and the association’s good relationship with World Visions. “Members had come up in the past and said ‘a web site is something we’d like to do,’” Norden said. “One day the two came together in my head.” The agreement came together quickly and MRWA promoted the benefits at their recent state conference. The agreement offers a wide range of packages, ranging from simple static pages to hosted domains with dynamic menus, flash elements, online document management, password protected areas, photo galleries and online payment options. “It’s always nice as an association when you can offer tangible benefits to your members,” Norden said. Missouri Rural Water expects the discounted web services to provide a number of advantages to members, including the potential for online bill payment. “One of the main benefits is public relations - consumer confidence reports, system policies, all that can be posted online, ” Norden said.
Three demonstration sites are already
live, with links from the MRWA home page. MRWA is expecting a number of
members to take advantage of the discounts. # # # |
