Havre Area Chamber launches new website

The Havre Area Chamber of Commerce recently launched a new website that highlights a variety of things, including community events, businesses and resources in the area.

The new site, which was designed by Tom Metcalfe of Eight Design was officially launched in January.

Debbie Vandeberg, the Chamber's executive director, said making of the new website, http://havrechamber.com, was a business decision to make the group's website more user-friendly.

"I think the whole format and presentation is more visually appealing," she said.

Vandeberg also said the old website did not have some of the technical capabilities as the new website - flike being mobile-friendly for use on smart phones and other devices.

"I think the accessibility of information is going to be better. (For example,) for tourists (who) are looking for amenities as they're getting closer to Havre, they can do that now from their phone," she said. "The interactive part (such as videos) will hopefully create that excitement."

The new website is http://havrechamber.com.
