Pepper Pike launches new website


I heard about this new website for just under two years ago (I know one of the writers who was involved in its evolution) and asked more than a couple of members of council about it in the last few weeks.  So I’m very excited to see it materialize.

Now, let’s see if we can get them to Twitter, start a ning, a blog (I love the Seneca County Blog as an example of a locality’s blog done right) and maybe even throw up public records on a wiki.

Here’s a screenshot and here’s the official front page for the new site, Pepper Pike.  I’ll write up a review once I get a chance to browse and use it.  I’ll also see what other Ohio cities I can find that might have some of the social media tools that would enhance the city’s online presence.

For comparison, here are adjacent towns’ websites.  What do you think?  Strengths? Areas for improvement? Who’s the audience? What purposes does it fulfill, still need to address?  Especially heading into the second decade of this millenium.

Beachwood

Chagrin Falls

Gates Mills

Hunting Valley

Lyndhurst

Mayfield Heights

Moreland Hills

Orange Village

Richmond Heights

Shaker Heights

Solon

Warrensville Heights

Woodmere

And on the west side of Cleveland, just a few that might be comparable (I’m not very familiar with the burbs there):

Bay Village

Rocky River

Westlake

    Jason: Visually appealing.

    This only looks good to people looking for inane, rich and milky white people for homogenization and diversity exclusion.

    Do a lot of residents of Pepper Pike spend a lot of their spare time on the couch watching reruns of “Pleasantville,” a black-and-white 1950s sitcom mirroring supposed ideal family shows such as “Leave It To Beaver” or “Father Knows Best.”

    I have one word for people seeking the Pepper Pike lifestyle – PATHETIC !!

    Thanks Jason – I like the post you did too re: your city. I only hope we have enough days of sun in Ohio to make that worthwhile! ;)

    Yo narcissus – hope you don’t mind me alerting OSU about your use of their equipment for leaving that kind of message.

    Thanks for still reading – I do know who you are.
