March 17, 2008 - Greenland, NH - Integrated Development Corporation (IDC), a leader in content-managed website development, marketing, and programming services, announced today that it will develop a new website and implement web-based marketing initiatives for The Birchtree Center, a Portsmouth, NH-based educational services provider for autistic children.

The project includes a complete website redesign in a Content-Management System, implementation of a Search Engine Optimization program, and the development of online marketing tools, including a microsite to augment fundraising efforts for the construction of the center's new facility in Stratham, New Hampshire. 

In addition, IDC will position Birchtree's site to enhance social networking opportunities through its blog and online communities such as facebook.com. 

"As awareness of Autism continues to grow, our website must grow to better serve our students," says
Christine Guarino, Ph.D., CCC-SLP, the center's executive director.  "We're confident that IDC's design will enable us to enhance our communications capabilities at all levels and expand our mission with our new web presence."

“The new Birchtree website gives them a wealth of simple, inexpensive ways to stay in touch with their students' families as well as other supporters in the community,” says IDC president Steve Steiner. “These days, even smaller non-profit organizations can use web technology to advance their mission in ways that were only available to much larger organizations even a couple of years ago.”
