The Jewish Community of Tidewater has a new website! United Jewish Federation of Tidewater and Tidewater Jewish Foundation are excited to announce the launch of the newly redesigned JewishVA.org website. Changes create a more engaging user experience, with the look and feel of the site refreshed and the layout transformed to give each organization its own navigation. Plus, the community calendar is now searchable, making it easier to find events by organization, department, and type. “One of our primary goals for this website was to make it the central hub for our community to find upcoming events, volunteer opportunities, innovative programs and speakers, and more,” says Betty Ann Levin, Federation executive vice president. Other goals for the redesign include improving the site’s mobile responsiveness and having the right tools for sharing impact stories, specifically through dynamic photo galleries and multiple video players. Most importantly, this new website provides a clear message about who we are as a community, and makes it easier for new and returning visitors to find the information they’re looking for. Scott Kaplan, Foundation president and CEO, says, “Through the new site, we are excited to portray a more holistic view of the Foundation’s programs and services aimed at strengthening the future of our Jewish community. I hope the site provides a more valuable resource for individuals to explore how they can make an impact.” Features of the new website include: • Prominent navigation and placement for JewishNewsVA.org • Searchable and interactive community information with the improved Shalom Tidewater • Easier access for Foundation donors to make donations from a Donor Advised fund • Increased opportunities to communicate and request information • One search bar returning results from both organizations
