Project Description:
FishersIsland.net is the first website on a Fishers Island Google search. The content – text, news, calendar, links and photos, milestones and more – create an image of the island and serves as an important resource for information – to those on and off island.
Fishers Island has outgrown the current website design. The redesign, with a fresh modern look, will incorporate new features and improve overall content organization and usability.
This website upgrade will allow us to produce and send a weekly (seasonally bi-weekly) Fog Horn eNewsletter to all sub-scribers (and produce a printable version for those who wish to receive it). The website content and eNewsletters will be managed by a local part-time editor who will coordinate the site redesign and be responsible for editing and writing the ongoing content and eNewsletters.
Many thanks to the Sanger Fund for helping fund the redesign and the launch, anticipated for early January, 2014. The new site will also allow for advertising that will help with funding the site going forward.
The current site will remain in place until we switch over. It is a good resource for calendar events and announcements.
In the meantime, if you are on Facebook:

This Facebook page will feed information from the new website (when live) and contains news and photos, announce-ments and upcoming FI calendar events. If you have something you would like posted, a story idea, photos to share, please send it to Jane Ahrens at info@fishersisland.net
