#### A meaningful story needs the right platform.

CFSEM works with communities to create positive change with far-reaching economic and civic impact. Their new website had to represent not just their brand, but their communities as well. That meant giving them flexible content types so they could tell their stories and put the spotlight on *people*.

#### Custom events planner.

As part of their community engagement, CFSEM wanted a calendar on their site to publicize events, gather information about attendees, and sell fundraising tickets. Our event planner included all these functions, plus extra features such as a location map and organizer contact info.

#### Heartfelt communication.

Effective communication with donors, sponsors, and community members was at the heart of our website mission. The tools we developed through the events planner, blog page, and resources archive gave CFSEM the ability to share their message authentically with every audience.
