I hope everyone has had a wonderful week! I’ve listed some highlights from the past few weeks below.
This Week's Need-to-Knows
Content Audit & Migration
Our team has completed the first round of the content audit and has moved the chapter content to the new website. We are working to build out the chapter websites and will invite webmasters to review them on or around 10/21 during User Acceptance Testing (UAT).
As a reminder, UAT Phase 1 begins on 10/1 and includes the SCORE team and the Volunteer Task Force that have been a part of this project from day one. UAT Phase 2 consists of the chapter webmasters, and there will be prior training to ensure you’re able to provide feedback about the new platform.
Content Audit Timeline:
The content audit has been completed, and outdated content has been removed from chapter websites. If you create any new content from now through 2 weeks prior to launch, it will be migrated to the new website. This does not include landing pages or edits to existing pages. New landing pages created between now and launch will need to be recreated on the new website by the chapter webmaster.
At the Virtual Leadership Conference, we shared our new content strategy and the importance of utilizing the expertise and knowledge of our volunteers and mentors to help us achieve our content goals. If you weren’t able to attend, you can watch the session here. As you plan your content for the new website, please consider how you can speak to the needs of your local community. When creating new pages on your website, please focus on the local resources, laws, regulations, grant/funding opportunities, and industry verticals that are critical for local business owners. If you have content that is appropriate for the national audience and is not specific to your community, please send it toblogs@score.org to be published on the national website.
Client & Mentor Photo Submission
Images of our clients and mentors create a more authentic and relatable user experience on our websites. We encourage you to use real SCORE photography on your new website and in your local content. Access the SCORE proprietary images on the Support Center.
If you have any photos you would like to share with HQ to be added to our photo library and used in national marketing, you can submit them through the Photo Submission Form. Simply select Photos from the dropdown menu and upload your images in the form.
