The finishing touches and the final files have been uploaded on the multi-lingual Project GUIA website built for the Brown School of Social Work at Washington University in St. Louis. Project GUIA researchers, “examine and promote evidence-based strategies to increase physical activity in Brazil and Latin America.”

Matchbox developed the entire site from the ground up.  From concept to design to construction everything was handled in house.  We also developed a new logo and supporting branding for the organization as well which helps to not only add a bit more style to their materials but will also reinforce a cohesive “brand” image.  Once the initial English version of the website was completed we set to work on Portuguese and Spanish translations.  We recommended Lamp Interpreters translation services as they are a trusted partner with whom we have experience.  Every word of the website was then translated into its respective language and a new home page directing them to the correct version was created.

Beyond these services we recommended social media services, the ability to share the site, and have integrated Google Analytics.  It’s been great partnering with such an organization and helping them get their message out and we look forward to taking care of future changes.

Color is a very simple update to make which surprisingly makes a huge difference to the look of a website. Simple color suggestions such as bright greens to suggest a spring picnic, creamy oranges and reds to mimic the fall leaves and pumpkins, and icy blues to suggest the cold weather mimic the current weather outside which makes the website seem current.
