June CIO Hour
Pixels, Pages & Practical Magic:
Website & Graphics Tools That Actually Work
Your association’s website is often the first impression you make — and keeping it sharp, on-brand, and effective doesn’t have to mean a huge budget or a full-time design team. In this month’s CIO Hour, Jim Faris pulls back the curtain on the practical tools he actually uses day-to-day to support graphics creation and website development for association teams.
Whether you’re the person doing the work, the person approving the work, or just the person wondering why your homepage still looks like 2014 — this session is for you. Jim will walk through real tools, real workflows, and real tips you can take back to your team right away.
You’ll walk away with:
- A shortlist of accessible, association-friendly tools for graphics and web work
- Practical strategies for getting better results without blowing your budget
- Ideas for empowering non-technical staff to contribute to your digital presence
Join us for an honest, hands-on conversation about making your website work harder — without making you work harder.
