Web Page Navigators

6/21/2014

 
This morning, I had breakfast with three friends, all of whom live in our Noble neighborhood. Only two of us are in the Noble Neighbors group, but the topic of conversation, initiated by the other two!, was the Noble Neighbors web site. Both of these friends were very enthusiastic about it! One, who lives on "Pill Hill,"* was especially excited that her area is included in our Noble Neighbors geography. She expressed delight at how much we are doing to promote our neighborhood and asked lots of questions about what else we are involved with. The other woman offered repeated complements for how easy the site is to navigate. She is blind and uses a screen-reader to access the internet. For her, web sites with lots of features and activity on a single page are overload and very difficult to navigate. Not only was she able to easily read our page, but we had more discussion on the Chicken Coop Tours, the Police Mini Station announcement, and the solar powered security lights. Although the simplicity of our site may largely be attributed to my low-level site creation skills, I was grateful that my friend enjoyed visiting it. Clearly, she spent time on our web site! You can be sure I invited these two to Join Us!

Our site is just over a month old and we are averaging about 75 page views per day. Our peak so far is 196 page views, the day after our Pick Up for Pride! event. We started this site, not only to communicate with each other, but to have another tool in our marketing tool box. The blog's purpose is to create an archive of our activities so that our good news is not lost when the home page is updated with current happenings. Through this site and other efforts, we intend to show potential home buyers that we are an active group of neighbors who look out for each other by Block Watch organization, who have fun with each other through block parties and neighborhood events, and who are working together to revitalize the area. We hope that these values will attract others who will "buy in" and join our efforts by buying homes and investing in healthy businesses. 

Your part is critical!  Do tell us about your events and efforts so we may brag about you on the web site and demonstrate our growing unity. The easiest way to send information and photos is through the Feedback tab on the web site, or by sending your message to nobleneighbors@gmail.com. Thanks! And that thanks is from all of us who will benefit from the good vibes that your story provides.


* Pill Hill is a the area that includes Oakridge and Inglewood, and parts of Yellowstone, Montevista and Glenwood.  Originally developed by the Van Sweringen brothers of Shaker Heights fame, the area gained its nickname because of the amount of medical professionals who call it home.  Click here for a Cleveland Historical link with more stories and photos. Then grab your Noble Neighbors map and walk over to see it!
