Brief updates

7-Oct-09 12:22 p.m. GMT: MUST READ: SEE ATTACHED/UPLOADED BROCHURE to learn more about the purpose of the organization and what it does
7-Oct-09 12:50 p.m. GMT: PHOTO RICH: Once you read the brochure, you'll find that we respect the "DIVERSITY & PLURALISM" of America. We need the website to CREATIVELY incorporate images of the people we're helping. Image style should be close ups, action, inspiring, leadership quality, epic, sense of team, victory, CHANGE. Here is one source of photos from one of our recent events http://picasaweb.google.com/bedier/2009CapitolL...
19-Oct-09 10:01 p.m. GMT: Below are some recommendations I made to a creative and thought to post here as an update:

"Sign Up" at top change to "Get Updates"

make the the column "The Latest" wider and "Media Center" narrower

Remove "press releases" header bar/section

We need the latest section to include a title and a one or two sentence description, with two different font sizes/boldness

Change Articles to "Raise Your Voice" or "Your Voice" aka
this will list the current actions, like signing petitions or sending emails to elected officials

Should have 3 tabs

"Current Actions"
"Find Lawmakers"
"Tell the Media"
7-May-10 4:51 a.m. GMT: I know this site is been on hold for a while. We're finished most of the content and and are ready to do the revisions and pay you.
