Project 515 launches new site

Congrats to Project 515 and Web Challenge team Full Court WordPress on the launch of their new site! In case you’re not familiar with the project, here’s a little look at what the website looked like before Full Court WordPress got their hands on it:

Now, Executive Director Ann Kaner-Roth said the new site includes cool features like:

• Ability to sign up to volunteer on the website.
• Easy to find and navigate Donate button.
• Stories highlighting the real lives of Minnesotans impacted by discrimination.
• Upcoming Events, such as the June 20th Center Stage event supporting Minnesotans United for All Families.
• Data showing how inclusion is good for the economy AND helps communities prosper.
• The most up-to-date information related to Minnesotans United for All Families, the campaign to fight the ballot measure to ban same-sex marriage in the Minnesota Constitution. Project 515, along with OutFront Minnesota, is helping to lead this effort and we’ll keep the Constitutional Amendment page of our website updated over the next 18 months.
• New “If You Support Equality” video featuring Project 515 Celebrity Spokesperson Christopher Straub.
• SMS function, which will allows user to get the latest news and alerts via text message.

Best of all, Project 515 got all those features wrapped up in a beautiful new website. Here’s the after:

Do you know a worthy Illinois non-profit or some Chicago web nerds looking to volunteer their time? You should tell them about the upcoming Chicago Overnight Website Challenge.
