The Foundation has helped raise money for Stan’s dream of building a world class center for rehabilitation. My job on this project, other than helping with the usual technology support and training was to put together a fund raising website for the organization capable of accepting online donations and effectively communicating the programs objectives to the public. 

The resulting website was a success and one of my first uses of WordPress as a content management solution, which allowed staff at the foundation to provide constant updates to the site.

Soon, the website will be replaced with a new, better version but I wanted to ensure it made it into my portfolio here on thisismyrl.com to highlight not just the great creative skills of people like Pierre Allain who’s wonderful logo and layout work was used as a basis for the design but also to highlight the fact that charities and fund raising organizations can create effective, attractive and professional websites with little effort if they find the right team of people to work with.

One of the key things we wanted to do with this website is communicate the cause but also allow online fund raising, a lot of the people who benefit from the centre come from hours away and couldn’t make it to the big events, so helping them to help us was key. 

As soon as I have the new website ready to launch, I’ll be sure to let you all know!

Before I forget, let me also thank Norah Mallory for project managing and spearheading this project. Luckily for her, I’m back on the juice (coffee that is) so I’m ready to go. :)
