Launch of Gates Recovery Foundation Website

March 6, 2006--Launch of Gates Recovery Foundation Website. Wheel Media has launched a new website for The Gates Recovery Foundation. Gates Recovery is a truly remarkable organization for people recovering from drug and alcohol abuse. Through a broad range of treatment services and transition homes individuals are given the medical care and personal support to change the course of their lives for the better. Their results are outstanding.

Wheel helped shape the message and content on the site, integrated detailed descriptions of the facilities, and created an interactive scheduling calendar for the staff to stay organized.

One challenge was to create a site that would speak to potential clients in various stages of suffering as well as those who might refer them, including family members and employers.

Gates Recovery staff reports a very positive response to the new site as well as early recognition in the search engines. We value our relationship with everyone at Gates and applaud their service to the community.
