Website Launched! | Oil Region Astronomical Society

The Universe is now online 🚀

I am thrilled to officially launch the new digital home for the Oil Region Astronomical Society. Our new website is designed to be a hub for our community, making it easier than ever to stay connected with the stars and each other.

What's waiting for you:

Refreshed Design: A modern, mobile-friendly interface so you can check sky conditions or event times from the observatory or your backyard.
Interactive Feedback: We've implemented a new feedback system (and yes, we've tested it!) so you can share your thoughts and suggestions directly with me.
Community Updates: This changelog will be your go-to spot for news, site improvements, and society announcements.
New Member Portal: We’ve overhauled our membership system using the Paid Membership Pro platform.
Secure Payments: We’ve switched from PayPal to Stripe for a smoother checkout experience.
ORAS Gear & Passes: WooCommerce is now live! You can now purchase ORAS Observer Passes directly through the site.

This launch involved a massive effort to copy and transfer the original site content while modernizing the backend. A significant amount of custom theme work and coding went into creating the style you see today to ensure it serves our society for years to come.

Take a look around and let us know what you think. We’re just getting started!
