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.

Washington University’s Center for Obesity Policy & Prevention Research new database is officially up and running.  With funding from the Missouri Foundation for Health, COPPR tapped Matchbox to design and build a database to help “explore and identify the existing policies on healthy eating and physical activity in Missouri.”

It’s a bit of a mouthful we know.  But what this really means is COPPR has made their internal Missouri health policy reviews available to the public.  Better yet it looks pretty cool thanks to the integration of Microsoft’s ASP.NET Charting components.   Ever wonder what kind or how many health policies exist in your community?  Why don’t you check out the COPPR Database now?
