I’ve just become an officer of the local EAA chapter, which has led me to look for some specific things on eaa.org. I can’t believe what a disorganized mess it is, and how very unfriendly it is with portables. For instance, some articles are displayed with one or 2 words per line, meaning you have to scroll through 600 lines to read a 1000 word piece.
Do they not have an IT department? They seem to have every other way of employing people.
They keep talking about “getting more young people into aviation” and acting like the solution is to reach out to specific demographics. Nope. Young people (and others who’ve tried hard not to age prematurely) are fluent in Internet. Having an attractive, informative, and — importantly — easy to navigate website should be Priority #1 — well before Young Eagles, Ray Scholarships, and Women Fly events. Those things might be just groovy, but they’re completely invisible without a decent front page.
Rant over. What’s the solution?
