Digic\u00eemes designed and developed the new website forAGORES<\/strong>, the association that brings together institutional food service directors. More than just a showcase, this site is a true digital hub serving its members<\/strong>: online membership registration, a directory, shared resources, a support forum, and management tools for the board of directors.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t

The goal: to bring together in one place everything the association needs on a daily basis, with access tailored to each user group and without technical complexity for volunteers.<\/p>\n\t\t

\n \t\t\t\n\tVisit the AGORES website \u2192\n<\/a>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t\"\"\/\t\t\t\t\t

Three levels of access, one website<\/h2>\n\t\t\t\t\t

Every user can find exactly what they need, thanks to a three-tier architecture:<\/p>\n\t\t

\n \t\t\t

The showcase site (public)<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t

accessible to everyone without logging in: an overview of the association and its missions, public news, an online membership form, and a selection of featured resources.<\/p>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n

\n \t\t\t

The member area<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t

accessible after membership approval: directory, comprehensive resource center, Agora, members-only news, and calendar.<\/p>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n

\n \t\t\t

The administration section (board of directors)<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t

member management, website management tools, messaging, and file sharing for board members.<\/p>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t

The Member Area: The AGORES Online Community<\/h2>\n\t\t\t\t\t

Once their membership is approved, members gain access to a private area designed to foster the network:<\/p>\n\t\t

\n \t\t\t

Member Directory<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t

to find and contact other institutional food service directors who are AGORES members.<\/p>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n

\n \t\t\t

Comprehensive Resource Center<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t

View and download all documents, guides, and tools shared by the association.<\/p>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n

\n \t\t\t

Agora Space<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t

A space for peer-to-peer discussion where members can ask questions and share their experiences, organized by topic.<\/p>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n

\n \t\t\t

Member News<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t

Information reserved for members, in addition to public news.<\/p>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t

Spotlight on the Agora, the members\u2019 support forum<\/h2>\n\t\t\t\t\t

The Agora is a Q&A forum reserved for members, designed to build on the network\u2019s collective experience:<\/p>\n\t\t

\n \t\t\t

Question-and-Answer Format<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t

Each thread begins with a question, and members respond to it as the discussion unfolds.<\/p>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n

\n \t\t\t

Identified authors<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t

Each message is signed to ensure transparent communication among professionals.<\/p>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n

\n \t\t\t

Attachments<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t

Option to attach files to illustrate or support a response.<\/p>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n

\n \t\t\t

Manageable topics<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t

Topics are organized by category and managed directly from the admin panel.<\/p>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t

Fully Online Membership Sign-ups<\/h2>\n\t\t\t\t\t

Previously, membership sign-ups involved forms exchanged via email or mail, with payment tracking handled separately and little visibility into pending applications. Now, the entire process is centralized on the website:<\/p>\n\t\t

\n \t\t\t

Simplified registration<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t

a single form, regardless of the plan chosen.<\/p>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n

\n \t\t\t

Payment options<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t

by credit card online, or by payment order, bank transfer, or check.<\/p>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n

\n \t\t\t

Automatic approval and access<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t

The membership administrator approves the application through the admin portal, and the member portal opens automatically.<\/p>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t

The website also provides the board with the tools it needs to manage the organization and stay coordinated:<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t

What the New Website Means for AGORES<\/h2>\n\t\t
\n \t\t\t

Simpler membership sign-ups<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t

An online process and centralized approval.<\/p>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n

\n \t\t\t

A more vibrant network<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t

Agora encourages mutual support and the sharing of experiences among peers.<\/p>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n

\n \t\t\t

Centralized information<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t

Directory, resources, files, and calendar all in one place.<\/p>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n

\n \t\t\t

Controlled access<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t

Three clear levels: public, members, and administration.<\/p>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t

Post-launch support<\/h2>\n\t\t\t\t\t

After the launch of the showcase site and the member portal, Digic\u00eemes helps you get started with the new website, the member portal, and the Agora, then fine-tunes the site based on feedback from the board of directors and members after the first few weeks of use.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t
