Nov 30 / Non-Profit Web Design Project Lets Five Give Back

by Aaron Weiche

One of our latest web design projects was 100% donated by the Five Technology staff to a local non-profit in Wright County.

The Community Health Foundation of Wright County was in need of a better web design and platform to communicate their projects and causes, events and how to get involved.

In addition to the redesign of the website, it now runs on a content management system allowing the CHF to easily update and grow their web presence themselves.  The ability to add information and photos from their events and projects gives the CHF stronger communication with the communities they serve.

Five Technology is happy to launch this new website, not only powered by great web technology, but a giving employee spirit.  Five has donated over $15,000 in projects the last 2 years to local non-profits including causes supporting breast cancer patients and local food shelves.
