The Army Heritage Center Foundation announces the launch of a completely redesigned website.  Grants from the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania Department of Community and Economic Development and the U.S. Department of Education funded the website upgrades.  The redesigned website improves the Foundation’s ability to market the Army Heritage and Education Center, to reach out to a national audience to support efforts to raise additional funds for the Army Heritage and Education Center’s (AHEC) public facilities, opens an e-commerce site for AHEC specific projects, and enhances the Foundation’s ability to provide teachers and students access to educational products.  The new website can be found at www.armyheritage.org.

 
The new site features an improved themed design and a greatly improved navigation system. Information is now more accessible.  VQC Designs of Harrisburg provided a complete e-commerce solution which allows visitors to make donations and sign up for memberships securely online with their credit card or checking account. Vinh Chau, Principal of VQC Designs, said “Creating a web presence for a world-class institution that is a heritage tourism destination and economic development engine for our community was a challenge that we did not take lightly. The new website reflects our pride to be associated with the Army Heritage Center Foundation.”

In addition to the e-commerce platform, VQC Designs also implemented a complete content management system which will allow the Army Heritage Center Foundation to easily make daily changes, updates and revisions to the site without advanced technical knowledge.
Army Heritage Center Foundation Executive Director Colonel Mike Perry stated, “My experience with VQC Designs was a positive one. The team is very talented, knowledgeable, efficient and friendly. The results of our project exceeded my expectations and continue to impress my audience.”

Educational materials showcased on the website will include Soldier’s stories—personal accounts of our nation’s history from the men and women who served our country.  This section, designed by professional historians, certified teachers, and college and high school age students, provides teachers and students free access to primary source educational materials.  The Educational portion of the website will be a continuing project and will change regularly as more content is added. 

VQC Designs also provides complete hosting and support services to the Army Heritage Center Foundation.
