Prior to partnering with us, Democracy International's corporate website, built on WordPress, was buggy and continually going down. They wanted to develop a new website that really spoke to the great work they do around the world help to establish democracy in developing countries. We partnered with DI redevelop their existing corporate website with an improved, more visual design; more modern user experience incorporating more modern and interactive features; and improved information architecture to streamline the process of finding content on the site. Democracy international's new website a more professional, yet cutting edge, brand to go in line with their approach to democracy and governance, as well as help them better communicate their message to the broader international development community.
Projects
The Alliance to Protect Nantucket Sound sought to launch a campaign to effectively communicate their pro-environmental views to progressive voters and educate them of the energy costs increases that would be brought about by the Cape Wind project. Social Contxt worked with the Alliance to develop the Go Green for Less campaign, a petition to the Department of Public Utilities and Gov. Patrick asking that they delay approval of the Cape Wind power purchase agreement. We develop the campaign's brand, new media strategy, and launched the campaign microsite on Democracy in Action's CMS.
Democracy International was contracted by USAID to lead an election monitoring mission to Afghanistan during the controversial 2010 Parliamentary elections. DI set a goal of creating greater transparency in the election monitoring process using social media and digital technology. Social Contxt worked as part of a team of technology firms that built the technical infrastructure for DI's DC and Afghanistan teams to report on what was happening on the ground in near real time. Our team developed the brand and content strategy for Afghan2010.com, as well as developed the Drupal-based website. We also lead strategy on the mapping component of the project.
Social Contxt worked with MassChallenge and OHO Interactive during the inaugural year of the competition to assist in maintaining their online community of over 7,000 users. We assisted in scaling the website under heavy load and building new features for their community of entrants and for the final rounds of judging.
In early 2010, Freedom States Alliance and States United Against Gun Violence merged to form States United to Prevent Gun Violence, a national coalition of state-based gun violence prevention organizations. Social Contxt partnered with SUPGV to develop a brand and new website for the national organization. Over the course of that year, we worked with the national organization and many state affiliates to provide technical support for Democracy in Action and other web technology; graphic and website design; and new media advising.
