Maryland Grape Growers AssociationSupporting Maryland’s Expanding Grape Industry

View Website

The Maryland Grape Growers Association a non-profit organization of growers and winemakers that have joined together to promote Maryland’s wine-growing industry.

Through the combined efforts and resources of the Maryland Wineries Association, the University of Maryland, and the Maryland Department of Agriculture, the group strives to illustrate the economic and environmental benefits that grape growing provides.

What They Needed

The Maryland Grape Growers Association had a clear mission but lacked a digital platform that supported its goals. Their original website featured a dated design, limited functionality, and no mobile-friendly experience—making it difficult for visitors, members, and potential partners to access information or connect with the organization.

The site didn’t reflect the professionalism of Maryland’s growing grape and wine industry and failed to provide essential tools for member engagement, communication, and event promotion. Information was static, updates required technical help, and the lack of integration with social media or email marketing meant missed opportunities for outreach and advocacy.

MGGA needed a modern website that could:

  • Serve as a professional public face for the association

  • Make it easy for members to access and share information

  • Offer tools for promoting events, industry news, and legislative updates

  • Support both consumer awareness and member networking

  • Empower staff to manage content without relying on outside help

  • Present a seamless experience across all devices

They wanted a solution that would help them grow—not just grapes, but a stronger, more connected community.

What We Delivered

We designed a fresh, mobile-responsive website that positions MGGA as a modern, connected industry leader. The site serves as an activity hub, combining easy-to-manage content with tools that support communication, outreach, and member engagement:

  • Content Management – Simple tools for non-technical staff to update content.

  • Social Publishing – One-click sharing of news and updates via email and social media.

  • Email Marketing – Integrated opt-in email subscriptions and direct publishing of site updates to lists.

  • Event Calendar – A searchable event calendar with times, locations, and directions.

  • Alerts – Editable site-wide alerts for news and important updates.

  • Language Translation – Google-powered translation for over 90 languages.

  • Multimedia Galleries – Easily managed photo and video galleries.

  • Private Forums – A secure space for members to connect and share industry insights.

  • Mobile Responsive Design – Seamless viewing on phones, tablets, and desktop devices.

The result is a professional online presence that reflects the energy and collaboration of Maryland’s grape-growing community.
