REGION 1 Website Gets a Facelift! (continued)

Nancy Gordon, Team Coordinator, Cranberry Shores

Cranberry Shores converted to a HarmonySite platform last year. The new website has a much more
updated and professional appearance. It provides a simpler approach to updating documents and emailing
various groups of members. All elements of the music including the sheet music, the learning tracks and
the word sheets are in one place. The migration to the new site was a good decision.

Lauren O’Sullivan, Secretary, Profile Chorus

Profile Chorus switched to HarmonySite over the summer and we've had a positive experience so far. We
love the ability to delegate administrative tasks to the chairs of committees in the chorus. In the past, all
content was uploaded and maintained by the chorus' webmaster, creating a burden on one person. Now we
can share the responsibility based on our roles within the chorus. The robust members-only section allows
us to make more relevant chorus-related content readily available to members that was not possible in the
past. Maintaining and updating the public-facing portion of our website has never been easier and it looks
great compared to the look and feel of our old website. HarmonySite provides event and sponsorship/donor
management tools that we never had available to us with our former host. HarmonySite provides great,
thorough, and timely customer service. HarmonySites web developers responded within 24 hours when we
needed assistance prior to go-live and continue to provide high quality assistance as needed.

Quick list of loves:
● Administrative Delegation ● Ability to easily upload files or link to Dropbox
● Website update ease ● Event management
● Riser Stacks (Now our Director does not ● Linking to barbershoptags.com

● Links to event calendar on Region 1’s website and user access levels
● Easily accept credit card payments and set up a donation page and so much more!

Andrea Younie, Team Coordinator, Rhythm of NH Show Chorus

HarmonySite has given our chorus all of the online tools to organize our membership and events. We
have traditionally used many different platforms, each doing a piece of the work, Dropbox for music
storage, emails by hand, invoices through Excel and so on. HarmonySite does all that and more for less
money! And we all know the value of our time! I am excited that I have been able to also collect digital
files from members and be able to put them all in one place, no more reinventing the wheel.
