We’ve finally done it. After about nine months of development, the all-new Waging Nonviolence website went online this week. No longer are we running on the basic blog platform that we hurriedly developed in 2009 when WNV was just a blog that a few of us would update in our spare time. Now, with new content every day from four active columnists, four promising young correspondents and more than 200 contributors all around the world, we finally have the website that you, the members of our community, deserve. Here are some of the changes you’ll find on the new site:
Enjoy your new Waging Nonviolence! As always, feel free to contact us with questions, comments or suggestions.
Beautiful! Congratulations Bryan and Nathan and Eric!
Right back atcha, associate editor.
This is terrific! As someone who has shepherded a lot of organizations through the process of building (and rebuilding) their web sites, I can tell you that you have done a fantastic job. Of course the most important thing we always tell folks about web sites is that the content drives everything. That holds SO true here. But, the ability to easily navigate to specific content, and for it to be presented in a way that is appealing, engaging, and inviting, that ability is very important. Not only do people become engaged with the content, but they get “stuck” on the site, which is a good thing. Congratulations!
Thanks so much, Craig. It means a lot coming from you. You probably know how complicated this kind of process can be, but we’ve been grateful to have great partners in the team from Social Ink.
Tremendous work and a great improvement. Glad to have WNV as a fellow traveler in our shared progressive struggles. Congratulations!
Thanks Daniel!
Great job! I love it, though the font of the right-hand column stuff is a bit intense and the headlines/link titles run together a bit.
Is there a plan for a logo?
We nearly killed one another over logo ideas so decided it would be more nonviolent not to have one. But you might be interested in this story about logos:
