Supercharge Your Website! Enhance Your Web Presence.
Your chapter’s visibility is important and what better way is there than to raise your profile through a robust online presence?
Currently, all SPE chapters have static web pages posted on 4spe.org with minimal information about each chapter. But, if you’re looking to take your chapter to the next level that goes beyond a basic listing on HQ’s website, SPE is offering chapter website options that will boost your online presence, while considering your chapter's goals, budget and technical know-how.
Chapter website options include:
Chapter-Managed Website Need more than the basics? Want to manage your chapter website on your own? Need a stronger 'look and feel' with more content and images? Does your chapter already have a website but with obsolete functionality that is difficult to administer? Then this option is right for you!
