Association Website Redesign
The purpose of this project is to deliver a professional, clean, interactive website that is highly functional
and efficient for staff to use; that is easy for members and the public to navigate; that contains a wealth of
information resources, and that effectively carries out the functions of the bar association. The primary
audience is the CCBA membership and the secondary audience is the public. Specific objectives to be
achieved in the redevelopment and redesign of the website include the following (in no particular order):
