Decatur House, website & maintenance, email newsletter templates

The current website for DecaturHouse.com was redesigned in 2019 to provide a welcoming and informative online presence for this family-owned assisted living residence in Sandwich, Massachusetts. The site highlights the community, services, and lifestyle available to residents while making it easy for families to learn more or schedule a visit. Over time, the website has continued to evolve through ongoing maintenance and content updates, with accessibility enhancements added in 2025 to improve usability and ensure the site is easier for all visitors to navigate and read. The result is a professional, easy-to-manage website that supports both marketing and communication with prospective residents and their families.

In addition to the website, custom email newsletter templates were created to match the Decatur House brand and visual style. These templates allow the team to send consistent, professional updates to families and community contacts while reinforcing the same look and messaging used on the website.
