Preserving History in the Digital Age
Executive
Summary
The Hart Square Foundation is dedicated to the historic preservation of Hart Square Village — the nation's largest collection of historic log structures — in Vale, NC. Their mission is to share traditional crafts, trades, and pioneer stories with the community.
Modern Website Live
Integrated Events Registration System
Hart Square had an outdated digital presence that didn't reflect the significance of their mission. They needed a modern website to raise awareness, promote events and folklife classes, and connect with a broader audience both locally and nationally.
The depth of their cultural preservation and engaging hands-on classes was getting lost behind an antiquated website. This digital disconnect hindered their ability to inspire a younger demographic and restricted their reach beyond a localized, word-of-mouth footprint.
Design a visually compelling, user-friendly platform that authentically showcases their heritage and mission. The goal is to streamline event ticketing and class registration while leveraging engaging content to attract both local visitors and a wider national audience.
Social media management was launched to grow community engagement and promote events — extending the Foundation's reach beyond their existing audience.
Premier delivered a modern, visually engaging website redesign that honored the Foundation's historic mission while providing a contemporary, functional user experience.
A functional events calendar was built in, allowing visitors to browse and register for upcoming folklife programs — with custom links to the Foundation's registration and client management systems.
