Web Team – Social Marketing’s Weblog

Goal – This semester we will be working together on web design issues.  Mainly we will work with these organizations titled HAF (Hispanic Aids Forum) and its sub group page titled LYIA (Latino Youth in Action).  Our plain is to implement a more user friendly interactive menu selection that links the two sites together better.  We want to have better access through easier media tools such as click to find video and picture galleries.  It is our understanding that the main goal of this organization and sub group pages is to give vital health information to youth and people in need.  Having better organized tool bar navigation with interactive media links will better achieve this goal.  This is our first thoughts; more will come once work on design is implemented. 

If this project is not done within the time restraints of class which we feel it can be our goal then is to really focus on ease of user control to links and sources.  We basically want to have a lot of health information and make it as easy as possible for user’s to find everything they need.

To collaborate with other groups email was initially sent now skype and second life are being utilized as well as phone conversations.  SL and Skype seem to work the best because it allows for one to be at a computer yet talk to others at the same time.  It is also easier than trying to set up conference calls.

Documenting and sharing has been done through email and wiki’s.

We have worked a lot with Jason Pine and his connections to media from HAF which have been transferred through email or skype.

Continual SL/skype meeting will help keep the group’s goal in tact.
