Website

The Website Task Force within WIAA's Publications & Communications Committee is responsible for managing and evolving the association's primary digital presence, ensuring it serves as both a showcase for information architecture excellence and a valuable resource hub for the community-at-large.

Core Responsibilities

• IA Excellence: Design and maintain an exemplary information architecture for the WIAA website that demonstrates best practices in the field.

• Content Management: Regularly update website content to ensure accuracy, relevance, and freshness across all sections.

• User Experience: Continuously improve site navigation, search functionality, and overall usability based on member feedback and usage analytics.

• Technical Maintenance: Handle technical aspects including hosting, security updates, plugin management, and performance optimization.

• Accessibility: Ensure the website meets or exceeds accessibility standards, making WIAA content available to all users regardless of ability.

• Responsive Design: Maintain optimal user experience across devices, from desktop to mobile platforms.

• Member Features: Implement and maintain member-specific functionality such as profiles, directories, or exclusive content areas.

• Analytics & Insights: Monitor website performance metrics and user behavior to inform ongoing improvements.

• Cross-Platform Integration: Create seamless connections between the website and other WIAA digital channels (social media, Discord, etc.).

• Visual Identity: Maintain consistent branding and visual design that reflects WIAA's professional identity.

The Website Task Force essentially serves as the architect and caretaker of WIAA's digital home, creating a space that not only provides practical value to members but also stands as a living demonstration of effective information architecture principles. As the most visible and permanent representation of WIAA online, the website requires dedicated attention to ensure it embodies the organization's expertise and values.
