Old Colony Elder Services (OCES), the non-profit agency proudly serving older adults and individuals with disabilities throughout greater Plymouth County and surrounding communities, has announced the launch of their new website, www.ocesma.org.
The latest generation of OCES’ website was developed by Clearpoint Design of Brookline. The firm used responsive design to ensure that the site is viewable on any device, is easy to navigate and user-friendly. The new site’s design is targeted for seniors, individuals with disabilities and caregivers, as well as donors, volunteers, service providers, families and job seekers. Since it is a WordPress site, OCES will manage its own content to ensure that the site has the most current information available.
New and improved components of this well-organized site include a Home Page highlighting current events, as well as buttons for Community Dining Locations and the monthly Nutrition Menu. An About Us section offers news items, special reports and updates. A How We Can Help section serves as a starting point for site visitors and outlines OCES’ many services. The Opportunities page is tailored to service providers, job seekers, caregivers, volunteers and interns. The What You Can Do page is geared towards those who wish to donate or volunteer.
Online Donation Capability
By selecting the Donate option on OCES’ new website, visitors are now able to access OCES’ secure donation page managed by their online partner Network for Good. When making a donation, there is the option of designating it to a certain program (such as OCES’ Emergency Fund, Nutrition or other program) or of dedicating it in honor of, or in memory of, an individual or organization.
Once again this year, OCES is participating in the #GivingTuesday campaign. The national day dedicated to charitable giving is November 29th; donors are able to go directly to the OCES donations page to make their contributions.
“Our new site is very well thought-out to effectively communicate who we are and how we can help. Visitors to our website will be able to quickly and easily find the information they need,” said Diana DiGiorgi, Executive Director. “Our OCES Website Team and Clearpoint Design did an outstanding job and we’re very pleased with the end product.”
