Case Study: LatinoSpeak.net
Tuesday, February 10th, 2009
LatinoSpeak.net is a website devoted to encouraging discussion of public policy issues affecting the Latino population. D. Almager, founder of LatinoSpeak.net and opinion columnist for Texas newspapers wanted a progressive, informative website with the convenience of a blog–easily updated with the latest news and issues.
We integrated an off-the-shelf blog into a custom-designed website.The home page–the blog itself–serves as the portal for current issues. Other pages round out the website with important contact details and tables of government statistics. Using CSS and HTML we carried over design elements, type treatments and uniform navigation throughout all pages of the website.
While the technical data on some pages remains static, the home page is easily updated by the client at any time from the convenience of his own computer. This allows featured writers an outlet for discussion and achieves the creator’s goal of providing a dynamic reference for policy issues affecting the Latino population. The clean, professional design of LatinoSpeak.net presents returning visitors with an engaging environment that puts public policy in a modern, relevant setting.
Blogs have become an increasingly popular way of publishing information because of their convenience and requirement of little to no programming skills. With a little customization, we have helped LatinoSpeak.net and others stand out from the crowd while maintaining a professional appearance and becoming a valuable resource.
