Debuting Our New Website

What’s old is new again.

If you’ve checked our website over the last couple of weeks, this is no surprise. We’ve officially relaunched our website with a brand new design.

Here are a few of the new features you’ll see:

  • Slider on the home page with our newest posts
  • Our fancy new events calendar is clean and easy to read.
  • DIY – You can add your organization’s events easily now, too! Just fill out this form.
  • Responsive design – making the website easier to navigate whether you’re on your computer, tablet or phone.
  • Categories are color-coordinated (shown by a little line on the top of the photo).
  • Find out about the beginnings and authors of Green Philly on a simpler About page.

Today, we’re super thankful for the brilliance of Katharine Friedgen, our amazing, talented designer. Not only did we love being an active part of the redesign process, but I can’t say enough about how much I enjoyed personally working with Katharine.

We can’t wait to celebrate the next chapter of Green Philly with you, starting with our redesign party on January 23, 2015!

Happy Thanksgiving to you and your loved ones.
