ORLANDO (Sept. 29, 2009) – Orlando’s Downtown Development Board(DDB) will unveil on Thursday a new, interactive Web site at www.DowntownOrlando.com, giving residents, visitors and businesses an array of online tools for discovering and showcasing Downtown’s diverse offerings.

Enhanced Resources on www.HospiceoftheComforter.org Include Online Tributes, Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) Compliance, and English-Spanish Site Conversion

We worked with Hospice of the Comforter, a local palliative care provider, to tailor the site’s appearance, language, and tools to the organization’s core demographic, women ages 40-65. Accessibility features were a key focus as we brought the site to compliance with the Americans With Disabilities Act. The nonprofit organization’s work in the community was emphasized with features such as tribute pages, photos, event calendar, and The Comfort Line e-newsletter.

HIAS, the Hebrew Immigrant Aid Society, is an advocacy group for persecuted and oppressed persons worldwide and has been around since the 1880s. The organization needed to develop a digital strategy to increase awareness of outreach initiatives, attract a younger generation, and increase revenue through online giving. After meeting with executives and an education on the many branches of HIAS, Purple, Rock, Scissors formed online subdomains — such as Global, MyStory, and Advocacy — for each significant facet of the non-profit’s work.

Purple, Rock, Scissors put together three motion graphics spots for Resource Point, a local non-profit organization that links individuals in the community who are in need with the appropriate government agencies, faith-based organizations, and other non-profits in order to get the help they need. Narrated by Dr. Joel Hunter, we designed animation with a hand-drawn look and a modern feel.
