EcoTuesday Website

Client: 
EcoTuesday
http://www.ecotuesday.com/

EcoTuesday is a social venture startup that needed a website to tell its story, connect members to one another, and make it easy for participants to sign up for events.

We began our engagement with a detailed discussion of strategy to determine the priority of features, as well a solution to meet the future needs of a growing organization. Open source tools were the preference of the client, which aligned with their core value of sustainability.

About EcoTuesday

EcoTuesday is a networking event for sustainable business leaders. Every event features a 20-minute keynote by an industry thought–leader, followed by the hallmark "Introduction Circle" where all participants have an opportunity to share about their about passions to find like-minded collaborators.

Utilizing the model of growing by having local ambassadors start new events, EcoTuesday supports collaboration and the incubation of great ideas by connecting inspired people with others who are similarly-focused on creating a more sustainable world. Making connections is what EcoTuesday all about.

Sharing Our Client Questionnaire for Website Development

in | 

A thread began a few days ago on the Drupal Consultants list regarding Client Questionnaires. Not long ago, Ian and I went through our own Client Questionnaire with the intention of supporting a client with a new project. In the end we simplified our original laundry list of questions to this much shorter and refined list, more pertinent to her specific project.

PolicyOptions.org Pilot Site Development

Client: 
PolicyOptions.org Initiative

As part of its pilot, the PolicyOption.org initiative used a wiki (see http://policyoptions.pbworks.com) where college students researched issue briefs as a start for their network of local community think tanks.

About PolicyOptions.org Initiative

The Policy Options Initiative seeks to establish a network of local community think tanks that will make policy information, news, and research available on websites, weekly email news updates, and research. These community think tanks will feature local, state, and national policy news and analysis on topics of local interest that draw upon policies and program models from around the country and world.  

The goal of the PolicyOptions.org is to fill an important gap in our public life: the availability of accurate, balanced, comprehensive information and analysis about the issues that we care about and hope to impact through public policy and civic engagement. We believe that this information is critical to informed citizen action in shaping policy and planning program improvements.

They will tap the underutilized research capacity of institutions of higher education to create local and state level community think tanks, which will be housed in participating college or university public policy or community outreach centers or institutes. These locally-focused bureaus will be linked through an affiliate structure to cover state issues and to a central national office that will cover national and international policy and program activity.
