Our request includes a full redesign and upgrade of the Festival's website. Website
redevelopment is a major strategic priority for EFF and it will allow us to build on our current growth and engage a broader, more diverse audience both during the Festival and throughout the year. Over the past several years, the website has become EFF's chief outreach vehicle, with the number of unique visitors increasing by 56 percent in 2013 alone, from 89,000 to 139,000. However, our current website, created in 2007, has a number of significant limitations and has become increasingly difficult to operate.
