- New Events Calendar with the ability to link to Google Calendar or iCal
- Enhanced Maps using Google’s Map API
- Consistent Social Media Properties and Branding

From their press release:
The concept for the new website started over a year ago during a brainstorming session between New Hope Chamber board members, Louis Licitra and Glen Stephan, and the Chamber’s web developer, BadCat Design (www.badcat.com). The goal was to make shops, restaurants, lodging, services, attractions and local news easier for web visitors to access.
“We were thrilled to work with the Chamber on the new site,” added Kelter of BadCat Design. “It was a chance to get things up-to-date as well as help streamline long-term costs and produce a ‘greener’ infrastructure. We think the new site will be a welcome addition for visitors coming to New Hope and will help feature local businesses to area residents.” Read the full press release on VisitNewHope.com
