Dallas Irrigation Association Launches New Website

A time comes in most organizations when a fresh start is needed. That time has arrived for the Dallas Irrigation Association. After months of planning, the DIA is excited to flip the switch and introduce you to their new website. It is common knowledge that much in the irrigation industry has and continues to change. Likewise, the DIA knows if the organization is going to service its members and irrigation professionals around the DFW Metroplex, an overhaul in their web presence had to change.

Three Reasons to Make a Change

Why change, you ask? Most anyone who tried to navigate DIA’s previous website will be able to answer that question pretty quickly. DIA realized that while functionality was a big issue, the new website would need to address the following aspects of the industry that has changed:

  • Technology
  • Industry News & Resources
  • Homeowner & End User Connections

Technology

Technology changes are a monster of their own. More specifically, one of the biggest changes with websites has been the utilization of accessing websites on mobile devices. We no longer sit at a computer to access everything. According to a report by We Are Social, there are over 4 billion people using the internet around the world. Of those 4 billion, 52% are accessing the internet via their mobile devices. In light of that, the mobilization and optimization of an organization’s website is non-negotiable.

Industry News & Resources

Truly the heart of any organization is its members. Because of that, DIA desires to make every opportunity to keep its membership informed, provide for them additional tools that further professionalism, and to promote opportunities for education and networking. The structure of this new website allows for change as information ebbs and flows. Because of this, the organization now has the means to keep things current for the benefit of its membership.

Homeowner & End User Connections

The Dallas Irrigation Association was specifically organized to “contribute to the education of its members and the public on the efficient and proper use of landscape irrigation systems”. This new website, along with other platforms, will be a spring board for educating the public as well as to help promote the utilization of licensed irrigation professionals.
