Tactile Launches New Website For The Philadelphia Water Department's Rain Check Program
Philadelphia, PA, December 20, 2017
The Tactile Group (Tactile) announced the launch of a new website for the Philadelphia Water Department’s (PWD’s) Rain Check residential stormwater management program. The Rain Check program aims to reduce the amount of stormwater entering the City of Philadelphia’s combined sewage system, thus reducing stormwater overflow that contributes to the pollution of our local waterways. The new website can be found here: https://www.pwdraincheck.org.
Rain Check was launched in 2012 by PWD as part of their Green City, Clean Waters initiative. The program is currently being managed by the Pennsylvania Horticultural Society and the Sustainable Business Network. Through this collaborative effort, Rain Check has recruited more than 5,000 residents to participate in the program.
The Tactile team worked closely with stakeholders to create an interactive and educational user experience for prospective and current Rain Check program participants. The new site’s streamlined navigation and elegant design guides users through the step-by-step process of picking the right stormwater tool, signing up to attend a Rain Check workshop, and scheduling the contractor installation. Prospective participants can use a new interactive “Pick Your Project” questionnaire to discover which tools are the right fit for their residence. Drop by the image gallery page under the “Resources” tab to see some colorful examples of the brilliant design work done by both Rain Check participants and program contractors.
“With this new website, we’re giving people who are thinking big about ‘greening’ their home in 2018 the tools they need to make it happen.” said Jeanne Waldowski, Rain Check Program Manager and PWD employee.
The Tactile Group is a Philadelphia-based full solution digital product development company that has been communicating with technology since 2004.
