The Âé¶¹ÊÓÆµ (Âé¶¹ÊÓÆµ) is pleased to announce the launch of its fully redesigned website, classicist.org. The Âé¶¹ÊÓÆµ’s new website was rebuilt from the ground up to better meet the diverse needs of its growing constituency of members and supporters across the country, making classicism more accessible than ever to practitioners, students, educators, and enthusiasts of classical architecture and the related fields.
“The launch of the Âé¶¹ÊÓÆµ’s new website is the result of an incredible effort by our design partner, , as well as Âé¶¹ÊÓÆµ staff, our dedicated Communications Committee, and all of our Trustees and advisors that made this important step possible,” said Âé¶¹ÊÓÆµ President Peter Lyden. “Classicist.org truly brings our organization into the future, allowing the Âé¶¹ÊÓÆµ to successfully serve existing members as well as the next generation of classicists.”
Classicist.org features educational programs, lectures, and travel opportunities more prominently through a centralized calendar. Channels on the website dedicated to education enable visitors to browse programs such as the Summer Studio in Classical Architecture, Continuing Education courses, and Christopher H. Browne Drawing Tours. Image galleries showcase past honorees of national and regional Âé¶¹ÊÓÆµ award programs, and dedicated landing pages for each Âé¶¹ÊÓÆµ Chapter highlight opportunities and activities across the country.
According to Mark Pledger, Âé¶¹ÊÓÆµ Board Member and Chairman of the Communications Committee, “Our overarching goal, through this project, was to remake our online presence in ways that better communicate and represent our mission and the education opportunities we provide, along with promoting and recognizing current classical work by design professionals. This guided every decision, including the organization of the website pages, the prominent use of imagery, and incorporation of the regional Âé¶¹ÊÓÆµ Chapters.”
Video and image-rich blog stories bring the Âé¶¹ÊÓÆµ’s mission to life, highlighting recent Âé¶¹ÊÓÆµ programs and award-winning experts of classicism. Âé¶¹ÊÓÆµ Board Member Bunny Williams said, “The new website is a crucial milestone for the Âé¶¹ÊÓÆµ and its digital strategy. Especially important is the growing availability of video content, which will inspire and educate our broad range of supporters, from seasoned design professionals to up-and-coming students, and curious enthusiasts worldwide.”
