What we'd like to talk about
I'd like feedback on our website. We (Lake Stewards of Maine) use WordPress as our CMS. I think we need a major overhaul. The website is dated, has grown organically, & is not easy to navigate.
Additional context
https://www.lakestewardsofmaine.org/. This is the one that needs work. It is our organization's main website, though we have several others that are not part of the request, including a data portals and live data tracker.
Technical note: we have someone manage the network of our websites, but not the front-end, I will be taking on these responsibilities as we move forward. The website needs to run on a LAMP stack.
Potential to transition this into Major Website Update.

Our mission
Lake Stewards of Maine (LSM), formerly Maine Volunteer Lake Monitoring Program, promotes lake stewardship and helps protect Maine lakes through widespread citizen participation in the gathering and dissemination of credible scientific information pertaining to lake health. LSM trains, certifies and provides technical support to hundreds of volunteers who monitor a wide range of indicators of water quality, assess watershed health and function, and screen lakes for invasive aquatic plants and animals.
What we do
LSM views our ability to guide and support the passion and commitment of everyday citizens, all of whom share a very personal feeling of connection to Maine lakes, as the only viable means of providing the effective stewardship needed to safeguard these treasured bodies of water. Our vision is essentially to create a broad-based culture of lake stewardship, fueled by the passion of individual citizen scientists, who choose a way of life that includes actively participating in the important work of preserving every lake in Maine.
