skyejumper 0 #1 June 19, 2007 Does your dz have a good website? Did a dz's website sway you to go to one place over another? I think this would be a big factor in competitive markets. Also, does your dz's website post photos weekly, monthly, never? Which website do you think is best? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites PikzeeVikzen 0 #2 June 19, 2007 I can't say I'm a huge fan of my DZ's website. It's pretty basic. Pics aren't updated. Hell, it's not updated really. It had no baring on my decision though. I went where my buddy goes. Found the website later. Good thing too. I happen to really love the DZ and the people there. I'm the twist that turns your key.... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites LisaH 0 #3 June 19, 2007 Elsinore has a great website. They post pictures weekly.

The main one for the public, www.westplainsskydiving.com, is pretty basic and the forms don't seem to work super well, but at least it's an online presence with a phone number, some pictures, and a couple explanations. We have another website with contact information for everyone who wants to be included that also lets us email everyone...that one gets used the most. Another website hosts a calendar for staff to use, listing their availability and our confirmed student schedules, and yet another hosts a calendar for things like parties, birthdays, etc. One comprehensive webpage with restricted access to the full mailing list and the staff/student schedules would probably be better, but this works for a weekend only Caravan DZ with a 182 feel, especially given that we have no "full time" staff and are closed in the winter.
