From Karen Tucker for the WBHOF:

If you haven’t seen it already, check out the Women’s Basketball Hall of Fame’s new and improved website at www.wbhof.com. “This project has been a long time coming,” WBHOF Vice President/General Manager Dana Hart said. “We recently celebrated our 10th Anniversary and as we look to the next decade of promoting women’s basketball, we knew it was time for a fresh, updated website.”

Kate Lee, Multimedia Courseware Designer at Smith College, where women’s basketball originated in the 1890s, put together the new design and worked closely with the WBHOF to update the website’s content and features. Once the site was to everyone’s liking, Bob Adkinson, Knoxville Tourism & Sports Corporation’s VP of Technology and Information Systems, assisted with the actual launch. “I love basketball and I love history, so volunteering my skillset to help the Hall of Fame redesign its website was a win-win situation,” Lee said. “The Women’s Basketball Hall of Fame is a fabulous facility and I am honored to help promote it by designing a website where visitors can explore the history of this sport, visually and audibly.

“The Women’s Basketball Hall of Fame (WBHOF) is a non-profit museum and hall of fame whose mission is to “Honor the Past, Celebrate the Present, and Promote the Future” of women’s basketball.
