One of the great things in medical academia is that I get opportunities to participate in lots of amazing projects. I am currently a Member of the Board for a budding non-profit organization KidsCareEverywhere. Because of my interest in social media, web design, and branding, I am also the de facto webmaster.
Our prior website, designed by a professional graphic designer who donated his time, created a beautiful design layout which we used for a year. Unfortunately, it was a relatively static website -- primarily because I am a novice in manipulating HTML and CSS coding. It didn't reflect all of the great initiatives and projects that we have going on.
I just redesigned the KCE website using Google Sites to continually boost our visibility and legitimacy. This application allows novice web designers to create a professional looking website. There are multiple templates available to get you started. The key advantage in using this platform is that now I can give guest access to other members of our organization. They can now post in blog-like sections ("Hot off the press" and "Intern Blog") so that we have a dynamically changing and rich media content website.
What I really love is that the Google Sites platform significantly improves inclusivity by allowing the least tech-saavy member to actively participate in web content development. You know who you are...
What next will Google come up with?! Needless to say, I'm a fan.
