What We Do
Case Study: UNC-Chapel Hill
Project: The Sonja Haynes Stone Center for Black Culture & History Website
webslingerz has had the opportunity to design and develop two generations of the Stone Center website. The website serves as an important outreach tool for the Center by providing regularly updated program information and promoting funding and sponsorship opportunities.

The current website, based on the Plone content management system, allows the Stone Center staff to easily manage their website content. The CMS tools allow the staff to publish, feature, and archive cultural program information. The site has also helped the Stone Center begin to transition from paper-based to digital data management; the site now offers visitors the option to register online for volunteer and academic fellowship opportunities.
"Our website serves, on many occasions, as the introduction to our work and to the Center as a whole," said Joseph Jordan, Director of The Sonja Haynes Stone Center for Black Culture and History. "Therefore, it was important to us that we have a web presence that communicates professionalism as well as a place to interact with our internal and external constituents. webslingerz understood our needs and translated them into a flexible and attractive website that has drawn immediate compliments from the community."
