Lend A Helping Hand Website

In the span of a weekend, I worked on a team of volunteer programmers and designers to build Lend A Helping Hand an entirely new Web site using Joomla!, a Content Management System (CMS). This project involved everything from preliminary interviews of the charity’s operators, to designing a new logo, establishing their online store, and finally documenting how to access the site through its CMS.

This weekend-long hackathon called Michigan Give Camp was a bit grueling at times, encouraging people to work late hours and eat high-calorie breakfast sandwiches from popular fast food restaurants. The rewards of this fascinating and brilliant event, developing relationships with skilled and experienced content developers who share the value, far outweighed the damage to my bodily condition.
