Sierra Buttes Trail Stewardship

Sierra Buttes Trail Stewardship (SBTS) is prominent mountain bike and trail advocacy group in the Sierra Nevada mountain range. SBTS and their hundreds of members perform dozens of trail maintenance days and trail riding events every year. However the organization felt their aged html frame site and reliance on Democracy in Action's CRM was no longer allowing them to communicate with their member base effectively. We worked with their board member and freelance web-designer Nica Lorber on a site redesign and a move to the Drupal platform.

We kicked off the project by consulting with Nica on how to best optimize her original design to cleanly translate into a simple Drupal Theme. We then took Nica's designs and developed both a Drupal site and theme for SBTS. One of the biggest goals was to help SBTS shift away from DIA by allowing them to publish events and handle RSVPs natively, which we were able to accomplish by leveraging contributed events and calendar modules. After a long iterative process in which we ensured all of SBTS's needs were met, we were able to launch the site with much praise from SBTS's Board.
