For chambers and economic development
The local business front door, kept open.
Your site is the member directory, the events calendar, the ribbon-cutting photos, and the page a site selector reads before anyone at your office knows they are looking. It changes every day. There is no IT person. There is a volunteer committee and whoever came with the membership software.
LFW is that web team, on retainer: a flat monthly figure a board can approve for same-day updates, the directory and calendar kept current, join and renewal forms tested, accessibility handled before the demand letter, and the redesign when it is due. One accountable partner instead of a software vendor and a volunteer. Most of these sites run WordPress, and WordPress is where we have worked since 2007. Read how the retainer works → We also serve trade and professional associations, on a separate page.
The directory is the product
Members join for the listing. When it is out of date, they notice before you do. We keep the directory current from your membership records, searchable, fast on a phone, and only as public as it should be.
Events without per-ticket fees
Luncheons, mixers, the annual dinner: registration, capacity, waitlists, QR check-in at the door, built into the site, with no per-registration fees and a guest list that stays yours.
The page site selectors read first
For economic development, the sites-and-buildings database, the demographics, and the incentives page are what a site selector reads first. We keep the data current, the maps working, and the downloads under a megabyte, so the shortlist call comes to you.
Accessibility, before the demand letter arrives
Chambers and public economic development bodies are exactly the size ADA demand letters now target, and the April 2027 Title II deadline reaches every county authority. We audit against WCAG 2.2 AA continuously and fix as part of the engagement. Or start with the standalone audit.
Everything a member or a prospect touches, managed.
- Member directory
- Searchable, categorized, current, and synced with the records you already keep, so a member’s listing changes the day they call.
- Dues & renewal
- The join and renewal forms are where the revenue arrives. Wired to your processor or your membership software, working on a phone, tested every week.
- Events calendar
- Registration, capacity, waitlists, QR check-in for luncheons, mixers, and the annual dinner, with no per-ticket fees and a guest list that stays yours.
- Sites & buildings
- The database, the map, and the data sheets that survive a site selector’s first look, with downloads under a megabyte.
- Incentives & demographics
- The pages a prospect reads before calling, kept current with the county’s numbers, and the contact form that reaches a person the same day.
- News & ribbon cuttings
- Posted the same day, with photos that load fast on a phone, and a newsletter signup that lands in the list you already use.
- Membership software
- MemberClicks, GrowthZone, ChamberMaster, or whatever came with the account: we work alongside it, or replace the public site in front of it.
We do not sell membership software. We make the one you have work on your website, and we own the result.
A record the organization holds, whoever is president next year.
Every request, change, and decision is kept as a running record with reference numbers and history. Documents, data, nightly snapshots: all of it exports in one click, in open formats. Standard practice here.
