Historic Water Tower Neighbourhood Portfolio - Nextupgrad

Historic Water Tower Neighborhood (HWTN) is a civic and neighborhood association working to protect and promote Milwaukee’s historic East Side district. With a focus on community engagement, historic preservation, and local advocacy, HWTN required a modern, easy-to-navigate website that could inform residents, promote events, and reflect the organization’s commitment to preserving neighborhood charm and unity.

The objective was to create a fresh digital presence that serves both long-term residents and new visitors while emphasizing historical relevance and community involvement.

The Challenge

The previous website lacked visual appeal, responsive design, and a user-friendly structure. Important information like event updates, newsletters, and membership details was difficult to locate. The client needed a modernized platform that would elevate their civic voice and simplify engagement for community members.

The Solution

We designed and developed a completely new website for HWTN with a classic, clean aesthetic that reflects the district’s historic elegance. Key features included a structured events calendar, downloadable newsletters, updated board member listings, and an organized archive for community documents. The website is fully mobile-friendly and built with intuitive navigation for easy access to news, events, and neighborhood updates.

The Outcome

The newly launched HWTN website significantly improved community engagement and ease of access to information. Members can now browse events, view historic preservation news, and connect with neighborhood leadership on any device. The website supports stronger communication and reflects the dignity and charm of Milwaukee’s Historic Water Tower district.
