Silver Spring, MD - August 28, 2008 - Geocentric announced today the launch of an interactive website for the twin organizations Rosslyn Renaissance and Rosslyn Business Improvement District (BID).  The new website, located at www.rosslynva.org, is powered by Geocentric's Citylight Software, a content management system for location driven destination content.

Rosslyn BID and Rosslyn Renaissance Executive Director Cecilia Cassidy says the site will have something for everyone. “With five distinct areas – Live, Work, Play, Visit and Build – there is a wealth of information for residents, workers, visitors, businesses, developers and others hoping to be a part of Rosslyn’s promising future.”

“It is a true challenge to deliver an interactive experience that can communicate Rosslyn's exciting, ever-changing landscape of activities, attractions, and development," says Jim Blakeslee, President of Geocentric. "We are very proud of the work we did to celebrate and promote Rosslyn as a first class destination district."

The website offers visitors an engaging experience. Some of the most innovative features include interactive maps, photo galleries of building projects, embedded video, a 360-degree view of Rosslyn, a blog, and a chance for users to submit pictures and other content for an online application called My Rosslyn. Each page is anchored by captivating images offering a virtual picture of Rosslyn, encouraging users to visit Rosslyn in person.

The design and visual identity were developed by Qorvis Communications, one of the nation’s largest independent communications firms. "For Rosslyn, we wanted to ensure all user goals were met head on--from business to residential to tourism--and our partnership with the organization guaranteed this was possible," said Jason Siegel, Qorvis Managing Director and the head of Qorvis Interactive Services.
