LET ME TELL YOU ABOUT US:

EarthSpark International is a US-based non-profit organization that works with local groups and entrepreneurs in rural communities in developing countries. Together with our partners, we solve problems caused by the use of inefficient and dirty energy sources; problems like poverty, illness, death, environmental damage and low levels of education. Our solutions are clean, cost-effective, and based on independent and peer-reviewed research. Most importantly, our solutions are informed by the input of community members.

HERE IS WHAT WE NEED:

EarthSpark International used to be InterIntel (www.interintel.org). InterIntel was originally formed to address different goals prior to our current emphasis. As such, we need a new website to go with our new name and logo.

The website should be crisp and clear, incorporating the look and feel of our new logo (see uploaded image). Another image, which was also submitted as the logo, graphically communicates much of our core values.

Here are some key words which might serve as inspiration for designs and color choices:
community, sustainability, hands-on, local, innovation, development, solutions, partnerships.

OUR TARGET AUDIENCE IS:

• Corporate, governmental & non-profit sectors
• Front-line teams e.g. sales, fundraising, customer services, marketing
• Decision-Makers: Senior/mid-level managers who lead organisations, departments or teams
• Typical job titles: Director (or Head / Principal / Vice-Principal) of Sales / Customer Service / Client Services / Marketing / Business Development, also HR/Learning & Development.

We want to come across as an established organization which takes a different tack to rural development. We want to give a great impression, so we can engage properly with medium to large national and multi-national organisations who are looking for something different.

We are looking to work with organizations that we can partner with, either through in-kind or monetary support.

We want them to think this when they look at the website:
Growth, Fresh, Clean, Credible, Edgy, Thought-provoking, Warm, Connecting, Smart, Results, Real, Committed, Collaborative, Transparent.

WE ABSOLUTELY MUST HAVE (or we don't want to see) THIS IN OUR DESIGN:

We're not fond of 3-D graphics. We prefer a flatter, bolder look.
