Talk:TechnologyWebDesign

From JoAnne Nov 7, 2006

 * Objectives:
 * 1) easy to navigate
 * 2) quick to load
 * 3) uncluttered
 * 4) have content that grabs the viewer
 * 5) very user friendly
 * 6) exciting
 * 7) drive the viewer to click on the next page, and the next


 * Pages:
 * 1) Mission statement (need to rework the current mission statement to make it more professional and brief - without losing content)
 * 2) Projects (add photos of animals - collage arrangement)
 * 3) Fundraisers
 * 4) Links


 * Other comments:
 * 1) Web site that our members have pride in (one that mirrors their desire to assist anyway they can, one that says we ARE an elite team)
 * 2) Animal Crisis Team = offer proactive assistance within a matter of hours or days after a disaster involving animals (anything from crates and collars, food resources, to certified and trained volunteer rescuers ready to get their hands dirty)
 * 3) a website that screams..."WE CAN DO THIS TOGETHER"

I need to build a more detailed Web site concept based on the above and get feedback from JoAnne and the Board.

Hi all, John this is a wish list I previously did for rescue, some of it may be useful. These links are no good for us though for Kuranda and the e cert. We would have to sign up and get our own if we wanted to participate in them. . I did also have a suggestion once as well that if a local tennis club were contacted they could donate all the used balls they no longer require. Just a thought but might not be relevant to us. Also members could ask on their local freecycle etc for crates and 'stuff'. Magi

 * Gift certificates to:
 * Wal-Mart
 * Petco

 * Home Depot Tractor Supply


 * Pre-Paid Gas Cards


 * Ad space in local publications/billboards/TV/radio/online


 * Other ideas on how you can help:
 * 1) Maybe you have a used crate you want to sell for $10 at a yard sale. Do you REALLY need the $10? If not, why not donate the crate?
 * 2) Save your pennies for a month - roll them up, get some bills, and donate them. You'll barely feel it but it will help dogs in need.
 * 3) Donate coupons for food and supplies.
 * 4) If you are turning in a dog, please donate your dog's collar, leash, dog bed, dog house, any toys, leftover food, etc. It will make placing your dog so much easier on him and us if he has his own supplies.
 * 5) If your beloved pet is deceased, please consider donating any items to your local shelter or rescue.
