The Design
The design reflects the diversity of CTA members and what public education advocacy looks like. The design is clean, modern and accessible. Everything from the vibrant color gradients, to the bold fonts, to the creative icons, layers and geometric textures is thought-out and intentional.
NEW FEATURES
Take Action
CTA members and supporters can now easily “Take Action” on the issues they care about. Throughout the website, this “Take Action” area will be available on every page. Easily share on social media to spread the word.
Chapter Search
Now, searching for a local chapter, Regional Resource Center and Service Center Council is easier than ever. Simply type in the name of the school district and get search results.
Stay Informed
A new “Stay Informed” area provides an option for allies and supporters to get connected with CTA and receive the latest news and opportunities for education advocacy.
Today’s launch is the first of three phases. Phase 2 of the website will be completed in Summer 2020, which consists of integrating other web properties for a seamless user experience. Phase 3 of the website will be completed in Fall 2020, which consists of personalization and targeted content.
