Our new website is here and we are so very excited for everyone to see, check out, and read through all the stories. So why did we launch a brand new website. Well it certainly wasn't on my list for 2025 and not even on my radar at all for future. But I took a chance using our accounting software to host it 6 years ago to save money and they helped pull it together. I loved it but it did have it's quirks like not formatting correctly to phones. But in the summer, I was notified they were getting out of the website business and I needed to find/build a new website by Dec 1. So I had to act quickly to find a new website host but also one who would help me at least create the shell to fill in.
I went with Firespring as they were a partner of the company we use to do our IRS filings. So I trusted that and they specialized in nonprofit websites. I could not be happier or more excited about the choice. They helped copy over the content from our old website and helped me learn their platform and all the exciting things we can now have on our website. A big shout out to Laura for all her help. And guess what she said - that our site has the most content of any other client she has worked with. As each animal has their own page. It has taken hours and hours of work to find new pictures almost everywhere on the site, for all the animal's pages as well elaborate on all the stories.
We hope you enjoy reading everything about Little Buckets and yes you can now do it on your phone. And we hope all of this will inspire more people to want to help the animals here.
We also will now have a Newsletter coming soon, a Blog on the site, and a Storefront coming soon.
I have handled all this on top of everything else so I am still formatting some pictures, elaborating more on the gang's pages, and more so I am calling this Phase 1. So if you check it out now, be sure to keep coming back.
Thanks so much for your support, your love, and for being here. We love you!
Susan and the entire gang at LBFS
