Tivilon Redesign Provides Archbishop Curley High School with Interactive, Feature-Rich Web Site
With the assistance of Tivilon, Inc., Archbishop Curley High School made the move from an essentially volunteer-created and maintained but difficult-to-manage site to a more cohesive web presence that would reach a broader audience. Tivilon developed a site for Curley that is consistent with its branding and image and offers something to each of of its major audience groups. Tivilon also provided Curley with the ability to make changes and post information for events, clubs, and sports activities internally.
BALTIMORE, MD, (PRWEB) July 27, 2005 -- Six months after the launch of its revamped web site, Archbishop Curley High School in Baltimore, Maryland, is reaping the benefits of an interactive site that appeals to students, parents, and alumni alike. Redesigned by Tivilon, Inc., a provider of online marketing and web site solutions, the Archbishop Curley site now offers such features as an online store, an alumni network, and online admissions.
Were extremely pleased the site has reached the functional level we hoped for," said Jeremy Joseph, Curleys associate director for advancement, The previous site was in use for several years and was effective as an information resource, but we wanted to use it more effectively and to have the ability to update it ourselves. We had an online application form but we had a lot of trouble with it, and we wanted a more interactive site with broader appeal.
When we initially contacted Tivilon, we wanted to move from an essentially volunteer-created and maintained but difficult-to-manage site to a more cohesive web presence that would reach a broader audience," Joseph said. Tivilon has developed a site design that is consistent with our branding and image and offers something to each of our major audience groups. In addition, they provided us with the ability to make changes and post information for events, clubs, and sports activities internally."
The content tool that we customized for Curleys use is the Tivilon Content Management System, proprietary software that we developed to enable clients to have more hands-on management of their sites," said Mark Zawodny, Tivilon CEO. It enables site updates via the web browser and without any knowledge of HTML. We integrated other proprietary software into the Curley site to create an alumni network and forum. The new Curley site incorporates a number of interactive features," Zawodny said, including an online admissions application, online fundraising, and an online campus store."
According to Joseph, usage of the site has increased since the redesign. Were getting online applications in greater numbers as well as online donations," he said. I anticipate that these numbers will increase as more people realize the capability is there. The store also has been well received, and were getting good numbers to start.
Traffic on the alumni network is pretty high, as our alumni utilize to keep in touch and keep track of each other," Joseph said. All in all, were quite happy with the results of the redesign and the added functionality."
Tivilon worked closely with the Curley staff to launch the new web site by the beginning of 2005. The current site can be viewed at http://www.archbishopcurley.org/.
Archbishop Curley High School, a Roman Catholic high school in the Franciscan Tradition, was founded in 1961. Located in Baltimore, Maryland, the all-male school has an enrollment of 620 students. Archbishop Curley offers a college-preparatory program to students of varied ability levels and recently completed a $2 million dollar renovation project, which included the construction of a new library and fitness center to enhance the academic and athletic programs.
