MVCC Executive Summary
The Mancos Valley Chamber of Commerce (MVCC) was registered with the State of Colorado in 2008, but has been active in the community since the 1900’s. The Chamber’s mission is to unite Mancos Valley residents to achieve and sustain a high quality of life and a healthy tourist based economy consistent with the heritage of the area. The Chamber helps their members to engage, influence, and make an impact using dynamic programs, services and initiatives designed with business success in mind.
An updated and redesigned website is needed to promote the Chamber and its membership.

Cloud Goddess Enterprises
In the big picture, Cloud Goddess is resolute in her personal commitment to her family, giving back to our community, building awareness to improve people’s health & wellness, and to the sustainability of our earth through agriculture and personal practices.
Victoria Petersen Lewis is the Cloud Goddess, and has always been interested in technology. Her first design, for a tablet e-book, was created when she was in middle school – but she had to wait for the technology to catch up with her vision.
In 1999, Victoria created her first website, entirely hand-coded in html. She has personally built websites for over 100 clients, and has kept her skills fresh with a dedication to life-long learning. As a Business Tech Coach, she has been meeting with satisfied clients since 2007. Victoria analyzes the current online assets of a company, and guides clients along their marketing journey.

Victoria has also been hosting the #MancosWellnessTalks series since 2019, a free monthly talk in which wellness practitioners volunteer and share knowledge in their field of expertise with the local community. The 2022 Series focuses on the “8 Dimensions of Wellness“.
In addition, Victoria has served on the Town of Mancos Tree Board for over 10 years, and is also currently serving on the Mancos Days Association (website build and maintenance; social media campaigns).
Project Objectives
Project Objectives
Website Design, Build & Hosting Platform
Professional Design and Navigation
The MVCC website design needs to be clean, modern and fresh, while delivering a clear, visual and intuitive layout for website visitors. Cloud Goddess will work as a team with a designated MVCC representative to categorize and group information as appropriate, creating a sitemap with clear and easily followed navigation menus. The website will be mobile-friendly and 100% responsive across all devices; regular theme updates ensure your website remains visually optimized and high-performing at all times. The website theme is 100% WCAG 2.1 compliant (ADA).
Deliverable Content: Text and Images
Storytelling through words and imagery will be a very important part of MVCC’s online presence, and will help to create an emotional connection to your audience, while retaining its business professionalism. Through a series of scheduled meetings, Cloud Goddess will work with an MVCC representative to place written content and images within the website.
Apps, Features and Integrations
Cloud Goddess will identify and build out anything needed to make the website work for visitors and MVCC alike. In our scheduled meetings, together we will walk through workflows, events and trainings from start to finish, and identify where the website can be used effectively. CTA Pop-ups, Email Subscription Forms, Contact Forms, Membership and Event Registration and Payment transactions, Digital Resource Downloads, Embedded Training Videos are some examples of what MVCC may need.
Specifically desired is an Event Calendar; this calendar will have the capability to list events in calendar or list view; users can click on an individual event, which will lead to a main event page, complete with areas for information, photos, and URL links. A Directory for Membership will be used that includes custom categories; the main directory can display as a list or grid. Each listing has its own page; MVCC will choose the exact information it wants listed for each member (ie. Business name, business category, location, contact info, links to web & social sites).
Search Engine Optimization (SEO)
SEO is the practice of increasing both the quality and quantity of website traffic, as well as exposure to your organization, through non-paid (also known as “organic”) search engine results. Cloud Goddess will work with an MVCC representative to pull together the varied aspects of SEO, and increase the number of targeted visitors to the new website.
Site Build and Hosting
The redesigned site will be rebuilt using the WordPress Content Management System. Website Hosting by Cloud Goddess includes a security certificate and regular maintenance updates to the WordPress CMS itself. Monthly backups will be performed, a copy stored with Cloud Goddess Enterprises, as well as in the website backend. Also included is an Intrusion Detection and Prevention System which blocks malicious bots and attackers. With Cloud Goddess’ web hosting, a 99.999% uptime can be anticipated.
Mancos Valley Chamber of Commerce – Online Launch
Once completed, Cloud Goddess has a plan to launch your new digital asset! We will go over our launch checklist to not miss a thing – before, during, and after going live. Cloud Goddess will create a launch calendar, and together we will create buzz to drive traffic to your new website.
Mancos Valley Chamber Membership Websites
MVCC desires to offer its Chamber Membership websites with predetermined pricing. Websites created by Cloud Goddess would include features listed in the Website section above:
- Professional Design and Navigation;
- Deliverable Content: Text and Images;
- Apps, Features and Integrations;
- Search Engine Optimization (SEO);
- and Site Build and Hosting.
As each human is unique, so is each business – and their website needs.
To be fair to each member, Cloud Goddess proposes two website offerings to MVCC Members. The first is to offer a set discount for membership websites. Alternatively, Cloud Goddess is happy to sit down with MVCC and create a set of various website packages with mutually agreed upon predetermined pricing.
