After designing the organization's visual identity and standards, The 15-40 Connection needed a Web site that could effectively communicate to a vast audience ranging from teenagers in high school to established adults with families. In addition, granting agencies and researchers, and even government entities would eventually look at this site.
The end-result includes a user-friendly content management system, enabling 15-40 staff to make their own updates – from text to video – as well as a dynamic interface designed to appeal to a wide range of viewers. The site also enables the organization to prominently highlight anecdotal stories that the organization’s target audiences will relate to, while maintaining focus on the bigger picture throughout.
