The new design will be a neater, cleaner, more organised version of the best bits now. The Blue Princess in the header will be retiring and the blog posts, whilst they’ll still be here, will be less of a feature. I want to start telling the stories of the charity, better engaging with people, sharing the vision so they feel compelled to get involved. Trustees permitting (meeting on Sunday, cross your fingers and say some prayers for us) we’ll also be teaming up with Just Giving to make it quicker and easier to donate and do sponsored events for Give A Brick.

It’s going to be amazing and the site design comes thanks to Amanda from Violet Minded. She’s amazingly talented and she’s said yes to donating her skills to us. How cool is that?!

Can’t wait to show you around

Gotcha! I see what you’re up to now.
What are your plans with the new redesign? Just curious what you have up your sleeve.

Give A Brick has a fan page on Facebook. It’s here: http://www.facebook.com/GiveABrick You have mentioned causes before but I’m not sure I understand how it works. A year or so ago I set GAB up as a cause but because we’re not from the US, we couldn’t have a proper one. I emailed the people behind Causes at the time who said they were looking at rolling it out to other parts of the world, but hadn’t done so yet. If they’ve done that, then yes, we really need to be using that platform.

I just have this real burden that right now, people aren’t really buying into the vision. They’re buying into me. And that has got to change. I want to see GAB making a real difference across the UK and into the rest of the world and that can’t happen unless we start to make our dreams more vocal.

We’ve got a new design for the website coming soon so I’m really hoping that that will help. It’s forcing me to re-think the way things are organised around here. I need to get the pages tighter, more focussed. Start telling people’s stories. Showing people how their £1 is making a massive difference.

Then (I hope) people will really get it. Because I see it in people’s eyes when I talk to them face to face. They get it. They really do. I just need to get that across via this medium.

You do terrific work for GAB as well as helping and providing for people who are in need. There is no better cause than that.
