Our default landing page dallasmakerspace.org seems stale and generally lacks any useful information on what we actually provide. (the quarterly show and tell posts are good)
Compare it to The Cedars Union, an artist focused makerspace in Dallas, which has a nicer looking website (at least has a map of the facility, although no actual pictures)
The best thing we have is a link to the tools wiki page (some sections are up to date but some aren’t) but if a visitor doesn’t click that link and scroll through they wouldn’t know anything about what we offer.
the map of the facility is awaiting expansion finalizations. we double the floor space something in the range of a couple months ago and we are still moving all the machinery
Would love to have a brainstorm on ways in which we could improve the site! I agree that some information could easier to access, especially for new or prospective members. It would also be nice to have a highly visible spot to do a weekly / monthly message to promote upcoming events or special classes.
Not sure if anything links to it, but we have several camera feeds publicly accesible, using this (which refresh every ~5 minutes) to get a realtime view of DMS up on the main page might be interesting, then instead of an out of date map people can see exactly what the state of the various areas are.
