The new District 28 website is here! We’ve been listening to your feedback, and we’re excited to introduce this latest iteration of our site.

There are more changes and more content in the pipeline, but here are a few of the improvements we’ve made so far.

Event Calendar

It should be easy for anyone to find out what’s happening in the district, and now it is! Use our single-source district calendar to get a bird’s eye view of upcoming events, or contact us to submit one of your own.

A bar graph showing responses to the question, "When you visit the site, what kinds of tasks are you usually trying to accomplish?" 84% of respondents report wanting to find event details; 32% mentioned wanting to find documents, forms, or other resources; 4% mentioned wanting to find a club; 36% wanted to keep up to date with the district, and 20% indicated that they were looking for "something else."
When we surveyed you about the reasons you visit the site, almost 85% of respondents mentioned wanting to find event details.

News Feed

With events consolidated in one location, we can focus our home page on highlighting the latest district news—whether it’s changes to the site, or changes in the district. Our home page is now a feed of dated posts: you’ll be able to see when items were added, and tell at a glance whether anything has changed since the last time you visited.

Any Time, Anywhere

It’s important for you to be able to access the information you need from whatever devices work best for you, whether you’re on your couch or on the road. If you haven’t tried browsing the site from your phone or tablet lately, please do, and tell us how it goes.

A bar graph showing responses to the question, "Which devices do you use to browse the internet?" 93% of respondents indicate that they use a desktop or laptop computer, 52% report using a phone, and 20% report using a tablet.
In our last survey, most respondents indicated that they use a desktop or laptop computer to browse the internet, but more than half of you also use a phone, and one in five uses a tablet.

That’s Not All…

We’ve also updated our resources, added content for visitors who are interested in finding or starting a Toastmasters club, and included a search bar in the navigation menu on every page so you can find what you’re looking for faster.

There’s more in store, so check back soon, and let us know what you think in the meantime!
