Our website is now running on the ever popular Wordpress platform and allows for easy on-the-fly changes and WYSIWYG content addition. I believe the current site navigation is better and links are easier to find too. Using the Wordpress platform gives us the capability to add news and articles in blog style fashion, make the site Search Engine Optimized, add social media capabilities and make this site mobile phone friendly.

We hope you like the simplicity and functionality of the new design. Any comments or changes, please let me know in the comments area below. Thanks, and I look forward to seeing you at future ISA Lehigh Valley section events.
