Devine Design donates Web site, logo for Orange County Land Trust

SUGAR LOAF — Devine Design, a Web site and graphic design company located in Chester, recently donated its professional Web design services to create a new Web site and logo for the nonprofit Orange County Land Trust, whose mission is to conserve open space and protect Orange County farmland.

Devine Design was founded in 1985 by husband and wife team Susannah and Don Devine. Working with many local, regional and international clients, Devine Design has built a solid reputation among the business community, as well as nonprofit, government and educational institutions.

“Susannah and Don were a pleasure to work with and we were delighted to learn of their decision to donate all of their creative time and professional web hosting services to Orange County Land Trust,” said Jim Delaune, executive director of the OCLT. “Our previous Web site needed a major overhaul and major updating to help us get our message and news out to more people.”

Devine Design specializes in responsive Wordpress Web sites that conform to fit on any mobile devise or computer, search well and are simple to change and update.

"We teach our clients to update their own sites,” said Susannah Devine. “If you can type an email, you can update your Wordpress site. The staff at OCLT took right to it, and they are doing a great job with changes, news posts and regular updates. This ability to change their own site helps save them time, money, emails and phone calls. Plus, the frequent updates help improve their search rankings.

"We donated this Web site facelift for OCLT because we appreciate all they do to keep Orange County green," Devine continued. "OCLT works to create interest and involvement with the local environment, with numerous programs, projects and more. We hope the new Web site will help the Orange County Land Trust continue to spread the word about their important work."

Since 1993, Orange County Land Trust has worked to preserve Orange County’s important natural resources, scenic landscapes and working farmland, resulting in the protection of nearly 5,000 acres of land, including 12 working farms. The Land Trust owns and stewards 11 nature preserves, seven which are open to the public every day at no charge for outdoor recreation and nature study.
