Naturist Legacy Inc. and its website

Naturist Legacy's website contributed to its early success.

Information about Naturist Legacy Park is easily and readily available on the Web. If you use Google to search Manitoba naturism or nudism, for instance, you will usually find us on the first page of results.... Our Web presence has been very productive in netting valuable contacts from interested people, and we have been successful in converting those contacts into new members at a rate in keeping with our gradual growth strategy.

I built the website, designed the logo, authored much of the text and edited the rest. The site was launched on December 10, 2010. I acted as Naturist Legacy's webmaster from 2010 until August of 2014.

The public area of the website debuted with 10 pages, 20 photos and 1 PDF file.

It now has 5 pages, 12 photos and 1 PDF file (as of early 2023).

The password-protected area of Naturist Legacy's website — known as "Member Central" — played a very important role in communicating vital information to members during the time I was their webmaster. As you can see in these recent screenshots, members can still log in to see their organization's busy events calendar, and to read all of their organization's latest newsletters, and to review important corporate documents like all of the AGM Minutes, Balance Sheets and Income Statements from 2010 through 2022.

In fact, Naturist Legacy's by-laws require certain information to be posted on their website, and at specific times:

• Yearly, the annual financial statements and documents (Section 9.1a).
• Prior to each AGM, the call for nominations for election to the board of directors (Section 13.3b).
• Prior to each AGM, the list of candidates for election to the board and their profiles (Section 13.3d).
• At least two weeks prior to each AGM, the notice of meeting (Section 19.1).

The screenshots below chronicle the website's appearance over the years.
