Web Clinic for HUD Partners Helped Many

Information by State  Print version   Eric Ramoth, one of HUD's Web Managers, teaches the ABC's of good website design.

Over 60 people came to Tampa on March 16, 2004, to learn the ABCs of designing and managing a public service website. They attended a Web Clinic for HUD Partners, held in the auditorium of the John F. Germany Library in downtown Tampa. They came from as far away as Orlando and Sarasota. Attendees included staff of public housing authorities, housing counseling agencies, homeless services providers, community development corporations, faith-based and community organizations, legal service agencies, city governments, and local banks.

The all-day event was designed to give HUD's partners a training opportunity about how to design, maintain, and market a public service website that is "customer friendly" and easy to navigate. At the end of the day, everyone expressed their delight and gratitude, as HUD's Web Managers had taken the mystery out of such a challenging project. Many of them will soon be using the web to spread their mission and accomplish more.
