- Website design
After developing the Prosperous Places brand, we began working with the Janus Institute to design the website. The goal was for the website to serve as a place where thought leadership and ideas could be shared through a blog, and a forum to encourage visitors to engage in conversation, ask for advice, and eventually house additional resources related to the book Rebooting Local Economies: How to Build Prosperous Communities.
After the site launched in February 2019, the Janus Institute announced the site to its annual Janus Forum alumni and reported that it was well-received, with alumni stating this was exactly what they hoped the Janus Institute would one day produce.
Using bright brand colors and custom illustrations to create engaging blogs, centered around real-life examples and partners that focus on community & economic development.
The website utilizes a bold but limited color range to contrast against the clean, text-heavy content.
A toolkit page, related to the book Rebooting Local Economies, highlights activities, questions, worksheets, and related blogs pertaining to each chapter.
