The Florida Nursery, Growers and Landscape Association (FNGLA) officially launched its new and improved website (www.fngla.org) during this year's annual convention on June 26.

This website offers many of the same great features as the previous site; however, FNGLA has designed a more user-friendly layout featuring an updated look and enhanced navigation. Additionally, a new membership section has been added to the website, offering an immediate glance on FNGLA benefits, how to join and even a refer-a-friend feature.

Also new to the site:

• Navigate by user type using Quick Links on the bottom of the home page
• Banner advertising opportunities
• Improved Members-Only area featuring easier navigation
• Easier access to social media tools such as Facebook, Twitter, blogs, photo galleries and more.
• Improved news article system with RSS feeds and comments feature
• Improved search function
• With input from FNGLA Membership and Marketing Committees, FNGLA partnered with Rise Creative Group of Orlando to establish the wireframe and design of the website. From there, FNGLA's Communications and I.T. departments went to work editing content and getting the site ready to launch.

"The new site is a reflection of our growth and continued mission to provide our members and the industry with the most up-to-date information," said Ben Bolusky, CEO and Executive Vice President. "The site ties in with our strategic long-term goals and was an important next step in our improved marketing communications efforts we initiated in 2008," he said.
