Your site will have these great features that make it easy to update and engaging for users to interact with:
- Full-featured content management system. Create, update, and manage news articles, blog posts, events, static pages, and an unlimited additional number of content types easily through an industry-standard interface. Easily categorize any content and add it to menus, making it easy for site visitors to find what they need. Optional comments allow site visitors to be a part of the conversation and can also be disabled. All content is fully searchable.
- Super-easy multimedia support. Photo galleries, podcasts, and videos are easy to upload and integrate into the site. Media on YouTube, Vimeo, Flickr, and other popular platforms are easy to embed. Uploading is fast through our user interface: upload hundreds of photos in minutes and organize them into an unlimited number of albums.
- Beautiful leadership directories. Add photos, bios, and additional information about your leadership to automatically present them in a friendly and professional manner.
- Mobile-friendly layouts, out-of-the-box. Rest assured that your site looks great on all devices, from the smallest smartphone to the largest desktop monitor. Your site will automatically take advantage of as much (or as little) screen space as is available to it, and will look great no matter what.
- Powerful social media integration. Post to Twitter and Facebook from your website; there is no need to make the same post to each social media platform you use when you can do it all from your website. Allow your visitors to easily share your content across their social media platforms of choice.
- Prominent front page slideshow and video player. Add eye-catching photos and information about what’s going on in your organization. Add a featured video to the front of the site to really grab attention and get your message out.
- Flexible email newsletters. Integrate with powerful third-party email newsletter programs like Constant Contact or MailChimp, or run newsletters straight from the website without any integration.
- Industry-leading traffic analytics. Integrate with Google’s gold-standard analytics package is fully supported. See how effective your website is at reaching an audience.
- Unionized hosting. We are one of the only companies that can offer union-backed hosting. We can host your site on our own servers, which are administered and maintained by members of OEPIU Local 6.
- Email with LaborMailTM. We offer email hosting using your union’s domain name at affordable rates. We donate 25% of all email hosting revenue to labor journalists. You can send and receive email using your existing email programs or use our great, ad-free LaborMail.org service.
- Cutting-edge open-source. We build our sites on top of the most robust, widely supported, industry-standard platforms. Your site will be built on top of Drupal 7, widely regarded as one of the best frameworks in the world for engaging, modern, easy-to-maintain websites. For more information, see http://www.Drupal.org.
