People on this forum have questioned why, in the digital age, where it is easy to promote your event in a more effective and direct way, preservationists don't do more to embrace this and actually provide information about what is going to be on display etc. Yet the same old head in the sand attitude prevails which leads, from my observations, to dwindling turnouts year upon year. That's the kind of attitude that's going to kill of preservationists in the region, ultimately.
My biggest annoyance is when they have really, really bad websites. Like, even my grandfather could probably set up a basic Wordpress site that would be 10x better than what we see. Plus, they're easy to update and you can have a lot more features.
They already have the domain, so it'd just be a case of paying for the better hosting, which you can get for literally nothing these days
I wonder if there are any web designers that specifically cater for that that market (That's probably not a bad business idea if there isn't... nobody steal it!)
