The challenge
The Commanderie de Bordeaux USA is a membership-based organization with Chapters all over the nation. Their goal is to share knowledge and appreciation of Bordeaux wine and culture. Previously, the national organization and its Chapters maintained separate websites and relied on third-party tools for essential administrative tasks. The challenge was to give each Chapter its own distinct online presence while centralizing membership management in a single national database. The organization also needed integrated tools for event planning and registration, membership dues, and shared resources.
The solution
Global Reach developed a custom website for Commanderie de Bordeaux USA that serves as the central online hub for the national organization and its affiliated Chapters. The site gives visitors a central place to learn about the organization, explore affiliated Chapters, access public resources, and find information about membership and events. It also includes a dynamic Chapter directory and a private document repository for members.
For Commanderie de Bordeaux USA, SiteViz is more than a website. It gives each Chapter the tools to manage its own website, members, events, forms, payments, and files.
Each Chapter can customize its website for its local group, while national administrators can support all Chapter websites and membership records through one shared system. Chapters can also join at their own pace, which is especially helpful for groups that did not previously have a website.
