State fair unveils redesigned Web site

Augusta — A local web design company, AdvancedGroup.Net, was selected for the recent redesign of the New Jersey State Fair's website, njstatefair.org. The 2005 state fair enjoyed another great year, with approximately 175,000 people visiting the fairgrounds, and over 80,000 visits to the fair's new website during the month of August. The website project included a complete reorganization of information, graphic design modifications for a more unified look and feel, and the integration of a content-management tool. "We worked with Dr. Howard Worts, the state fair manager, to focus on the highlights of the fair, and strived to present the information in a simple, intuitive manner," said Lynn Lancaster, creative director and partner of AdvancedGroup.net. "In addition to the redesign, the new website has been modified to permit authorized staff members to control the site content without altering the design. This includes the ability to manage text, edit schedules, process online ticket orders and upload photographs and other graphic images. In other words, we designed the structure, but the staff controls the content." AdvancedGroup.net provides website development and hosting services to businesses of all sizes in the tri-state area. The company will be celebrating its tenth anniversary in February of 2006. For additional information, call 973-948-0400 or visit AdvancedGroup.net.
