Jel Updates California Chamber of Commerce Web Site
October 29, 2003

Jel Inc. has rearchitected and redesigned the California Chamber of Commerce’s website (www.calchamber.com). The updated look and feel of the Chamber’s website has a clean, "corporate" look that conveys to visitors the value of the services offered by the Chamber, and helps communicate the Chamber’s value and relevance to their concerns.

The Calchamber.com website contains a very broad range of applications and information. Jel created an intuitive, easy to use site structure and navigation system that clearly and logically categorizes content, with clear paths to frequently accessed areas of the website.

In addition to developing the new design and architecture, Jel integrated the new design and applications with Jel’s Content Management System, saving the Chamber time and money by enabling non-technical staff to easily and conveniently update the website. Jel is hosting the site in its state-of-the-art data center, and providing ongoing maintenance and enhancements to the site.

"Jel's combination of strategy, design and technology provided us with a cohesive project from the discovery process through to the final delivery. Their team members offer both technology and business expertise, which makes them a great fit for our organization”, said Kelly Lemmond-Martinez, Website Director at the California Chamber of Commerce.”We're very proud of our new website; both the look and functionality have improved tremendously, and it better reflects who we are as an organization."

"The California Chamber of Commerce provides invaluable services for California-based businesses”, said Jon Lee, Jel’s CEO. “Because the site contains so many varied types of content and applications, creating a clear and straightforward navigation system for users was one of our key goals. The addition of Jel’s Content Management System has enabled the Chamber to reduce monthly costs, and keep the site’s content relevant and timely."
