Influx Introduces Prefab: A Ready-to-Launch Website Designed for Libraries by Librarians

This is a fabulous idea. I’m surprised that someone hasn’t done this before for library land. My friends Aaron and Amanda have done a great thing. I’ll be seeing them at Computers in Libraries so if you’re there, check them out. In the meantime, check out this resource:

Influx Introduces Prefab: A Ready-to-Launch Website Designed for Libraries by Librarians

Aaron Schmidt and Amanda Etches the well-known and highly respected librarians and library design/usability experts whose firm Influx, offers consulting services have launched a new service for the library community.

Say hello to Prefab.

What is it?

In their words:

Prefab is a ready-to-launch website designed for libraries.

Based on years of library user research, our template gives you everything you need to create a fantastic library website.

With Prefab, you won’t even need to worry about hosting.

Said another way (our words), Prefab allows customers to harness the knowledge and real world experience of two experts and be up and running with new a web site in a short period of time (Influx says about one day).

An expert designed web site that’s up and running quickly might be an idea that is very appealing to some libraries.

We will be watching.

Two brief comments.

1. We love the idea that libraries who might not be able to afford to bring in web design consultants (who specifically know library web site design) to build a new site can move forward and also utilize Influx expertise.

2. infoDOCKET is a longtime admirer and supporter of librarians as entrepreneurs.

Entrepreneur is another title that Schmidt and Etches-Johnson can and should place on their resume. The launch of Prefab, a service available to all libraries, is taking their entrepreneurial skills to the next level.
