SAN JOSE, CA -- Digital media company Tam Communications recently launched a new web site (www.mhcviva.org) for the nonprofit Mexican Heritage Corporation (MHC). The second-generation site, which highlights the new $35 million Mexican Heritage Plaza, is a substantial resource for those interested in Mexican culture and local programs that teach and celebrate it.

With a design that captures the essence of MHC and its community-focused mission, the sophisticated site provides a wealth of information about the Plaza, MHC, and Mexican history and culture. Users can explore the Plaza via graphics or video, read about educational programs being held there, get listings and descriptions of upcoming events, and sign up for membership or volunteer work. An e-commerce link to tickets.com will soon be added, allowing enthusiasts of Mexican culture to buy tickets to locally produced programming and events featuring international touring groups.

"The web site developed for MHC by Tam Communications is an exceptional tool for showcasing everything that our Plaza and programming have to offer the community," said Pete Carrillo, President of MHC. "Tam has created a beautiful and effective site that communicates our message perfectly, and we know it will be a tremendous asset to us as we continue to build recognition and passion for Mexican culture in our area."

Tam Communications producer Susan O'Connor Fraser added, "We are happy to contribute to an organization with such a positive and important mission. We hope the web site will bring much-deserved recognition to MHC and their state-of-the-art facilities."

O'Connor Fraser worked with Designer Allyson Klein and Web Developer Mike Andersen on the project.
