New WGCU Website

Posted by Zach K. on Tuesday, July 03, 2007

I am very proud to announce the release of the new WGCU Public Media website.

For those of you not familiar or not in Southwest Florida, WGCU is the local public broadcasting affiliate, delivering National, International and locally produced television and radio content to millions of viewers and subscribers throughout Southwest Florida (Estero, Fort Myers, Naples, Cape Coral, Sanibel, etc.).

The Unique ID Web Design team has been hard at work for the past couple of months secretly working on our latest creation. The newly redesigned website is the culmination of months of planning, preparation, design, and development by everyone at Unique. From the beginning every person in our team has been hard at work, adding comments, suggestions, making updates and corrections in each of our respective specialities in order to release what I am proud to call, our biggest and most successful project to date.

Some of the biggest features of the site include:

Upgrade to .NET
Gorgeous new layout
Standards XHTML & CSS
Search Engine Optimization
New Mini-sites (WaterWoes & Get Up Get Out Get Active)
See and view previews of locally produced programs such as Gulf Coast Live, Untold Stories, and Health Sense
Listen to live radio broadcasts on their computers
Find out more about corporate support

And, we are only in phase 1!

Without revealing too much there are at least two more yet to be released phases that will include some amazing new technologies and social features. The new features will allow local users and people in the Southwest Florida community to interact, and create content in new and exciting ways as well as streamline many of WGCU’s business processes, increases sales and productivity.

I would like to thank everyone involved in the creation of the website including the staff of WGCU & everyone at Unique that created this amazing site.
