BARNSTEAD, N.H., Oct. 27, 2009 – WoodNet Market Council, an organization dedicated to responsible forestry and green building, today launched a new Web site donated by New Hampshire design and marketing firm Danconia Media.
The site – located at www.woodnetusa.org – was built using open-source technology and a highly user-friendly content management system that allows WoodNet’s members to easily add and modify content within minutes. It features a clean, minimal design and seven pages of content highlighting WoodNet’s programs. The site also has a member directory, which currently lists nearly 100 organizations.
WoodNet works to unite manufacturers, builders, buyers and sellers to promote sustainable building and forestry practices. Its members work to get companies certified by the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC). WoodNet offers reduced rates for small businesses seeking FSC Chain of Custody certification and assistance in preparing for annual FSC audits and developing required controls.
Danconia Vice President William Sweeney said his company donated the site because green building and responsible forestry are important to bettering the environment. Having a quality Web presence, he said, will help WoodNet in its mission of promoting good stewardship.
“It’s important to be environmentally responsible, and having good online resources is essential for any organization trying to make a difference today,” Sweeney said. “We look forward to doing more projects in the future that promote green initiatives.”
The WoodNet site is the latest in several Danconia projects involving green-building companies. Late last year, Danconia launched a completely redesigned site for Young Furniture Mfg., a Bow, N.H.-based manufacturer of FSC-certified cabinets. And earlier this year, the firm designed a site for J.S. Benson Woodworking & Design, which produces FSC windows and doors from its Brattleboro, Vt., factory.
