Welcome to the first issue of AnxietyBC’s new e-Strides. This is part of an exciting new direction AnxietyBC has been taking to offer better service to those who are in need of “Resources. Results. Relief.” regarding anxiety disorders. This is just one step of a nine part Web Site Enhancement project AnxietyBC has undertaken this year to reduce costs and improve outreach into the community.
Most of the changes that have taken place so far have been structural - moving the site to a new server and changing the content manager. This has allowed us to add new services to the site, and make adding content much easier. Some of the changes introduced so far are a You Tube page, a site survey, and an automatic subscription button. With more additions to come.
I would like to have said that they have gone unnoticed, but this is not the case. Loss of links in the documents caused disruption of service on our site. In the end it proved a good thing, because in the process of fixing the problem we were able to add a new resource, a page of links to all the Resource Documents on the site.
