Redesign for The Greenlining Institute
greenlining.org
I’m very pleased to announce the redesign and redeployment of greenlining.org.
Associate Director Orson Aguilar at Greenlining hired me to make a brand new website, following a look and feel sketched out by their designer. They needed a customized content management system that would make it easy for them to update their news, videos, publications, and policy initiatives. Everything needed to be database-driven, from the home page to the staff list to the news area.
Highlights
- Videos are automatically embedded and synchronized with content uploaded to YouTube™
- Images and all other content on the website can be edited using a web browser. No need to photoshop images to scale or crop them, no need to create PDF previews. It’s all done on the fly.
- PDFs, videos, and news articles are all tagged with the policy initiatives they relate to, so the policy pages stay fresh and up-to date whenever new content is added.
- Seamless integration with PHPList for the ability to send email newsletters to 1000’s of subscribers.
