Original website

Background: The Wheaton & Kensington Chamber of Commerce promotes the local business community by representing its needs to citizens, government and business organizations, advancing economic development efforts.

Problem: The Wheaton & Kensington Chamber of Commerce needed a new website design that was easy for them to update, attractive to existing and prospective members, allowed for promotion of a different member each month, and for displaying ads from members.

Solution: We expanded on the existing color palette of blue and green by adding a more vibrant color—orange—to add friendliness and more fun. Our design incorporates dots in a semicircular shape, mimicking the look of the Washington, D.C.-area metro tunnels. We broke up the original 10 long pages into 56 shorter pages and added submenus to the navigation to make the content easier to navigate. The website is mobile friendly and easy to read, with calls to action. It includes areas for sponsor ads and highlighting members.
