Growing Corning Together

Background
Growing Corning Together is a community outreach organization that runs multiple events and programs but lacked a centralized platform for sharing information, relying instead on scattered Facebook groups.
Problem
The decentralized nature of information made it difficult for community members to find details about events and programs, leading to reduced engagement and accessibility issues. There was also no framework for signing up vendors or volunteers.
Solution
As the sole developer, I designed and built a new website to serve as a centralized hub. I used HTML, CSS, and JavaScript with iframes for dynamic content, managed DNS setup, and implemented SEO strategies to improve discoverability. I also built custom forms and backend processes via Google Services to handle vendor and volunteer sign-ups, and I continue to maintain the site.
Results
The website has significantly improved access to information, making it easier for community members to stay informed about events and programs. SEO efforts have increased visibility, and the centralized platform has enhanced engagement within the Corning community.
