Transitioning 
to our New Website
With our new website, what we have known as FCBuzz.org will be integrated into the new culturalalliancefc.org as FCBuzz Events.

We expect our new website to be introduced by late September, but before any public announcement we will need all directory profiles and all events to be re-posted to the new website.

The new website will be much more image-friendly and more flexible than our previous sites and this will be a terrific opportunity for everyone to review their current profile and make it as informative and audience-friendly as possible. This will provide a new face for all of our members, so we hope you spend some time making as good a presentation as you can.

1. Prepare Your Images
Please prepare three images for your profiles and events

1.  A hero image (3:1 ratio)- this is the large background image in the example above that will be at the top of your page. This should be a 3:1 ratio - a minimum of 1120x400 pixels. This could be from an event, an organization’s interior, or an artist's studio or something reflective of you.

2.  A profile image (1:1 ratio) - this would be a headshot for an artist or a logo for an organization (you see it inserted into the hero image above). This should be 250x250 pixels.

3. A featured image, (2:1 ratio) - a reference image of an event or an artist's work that would appear where the member or event shows up on a list of events or artists (like “check out other members” for example). This should be a minimum of 510x260 pixels.

Please get your images ready, so when we ask you to upload they will be ready to go.

2. Prepare Your Text

Please think creatively about your text to put into you"Description" box. This is a way to introduce yourself or your organization and your unique perspective and contribution. You could use or adopt your "About" page on your website.

Please don't just write "Visual Artist" or "Dance Company" - describe and "sell" you, your organization and your brand. You can review the current profile descriptions on our old website at http://www.fcbuzz.org/directory/organizations/ or

We expect to announce the two-week window, in which you all will need to re-post your profiles and upcoming events, within the next few weeks - so keep tuned and don't hesitate to contact us with any questions or issues.
