Kiwanis.org: Public site is brand new and interactive

Members can see the site's transformation as the new face for Kiwanis International at www.kiwanis.org.

Kiwanis.org is a public site, meaning more emphasis is on navigation aimed at prospective members, media and supporters wanting to learn more about Kiwanis and its mission. The aim is to provide several avenues of exploration to cater to all types of users (those who like visuals, those who rely on easy navigation links, those who like to click around and those who jump straight to search). In addition, members-only information is neatly tucked away behind a bright orange Member Area button (top right) that leads to www.KiwanisOne.org in a single click.

A few things you'll see on the new site:

• The club locator (find a club) moves to bottom right and is more prominent. Functionality has improved.
• Within a couple months, much of the site will be translated into seven languages.
• Left navigation starts with icons and expands into simple categories. The main category, Discover, leads to information about who we are, what we do and why we do it with a nod to our history and partners.
• The main Web page under Discover features a flash video that illustrates the impact of Kiwanis through animated words and music. This video was a massive collaboration project and first-ever experiment with using flash technology to tell the Kiwanis story. This is a link you'll want to share!
• Find news, fact sheet, leadership listings, press releases and videos under Media Center.
• Links to International Convention have moved to the Member Area (KiwanisOne).
• Share Your Story is undergoing a transformation and submission has been simplified. Continue to submit to www.kiwanis.org/shareyourstory.

We think you'll agree that the site transformation is dramatically different and highly anticipated. The changes are strategic, positive and propel the organization forward for global recognition, growth, public interest and support, and member pride.
