New Local 1776 Website Enhances Ability to Represent Our Members

Modern Interface Standardizes Content Across All Platforms
New Orleans, LA (April 10, 2020) - LIUNA Local 1776's website just got an upgrade. The recent COVID-19 travel ban has provided the perfect opportunity to upgrade our web presence in order to better serve our members.
The new website presents a seamless look and user interface regardless of how visitors access it, whether that's via desktop computer, tablet, or mobile phone. While most of the functionality of the old website has already been migrated to the new platform, we are still in the process of transferring content over, to include old archived news articles.
Another reason for transitioning is to bring our news platform in-house. For the past several years we have been using Facebook as our primary means of communication. However, while Facebook is still a useful communication tool, it is no longer the most effective way to share content. The clutter, privacy concerns, and constant barrage of ads has turned many subscribers away reducing our overall reach. For that reason, all new Local 1776 stories and articles will be generated internally using our custom blog application. This will allow all visitors, including non-Facebook users, to benefit from the information provided. We will continue to share all stories on Facebook, but those stories will be linked to articles hosted on the Local 1776 website.
We hope you enjoy the new interface and encourage you to share the website with your coworkers.
