No seriously...I am blushing.

Global Citizen Kelowna is an organization that Entertains, Educates and Inspires Change amongst citizens of Kelowna.  Craig Kielburger, founder of Free the Children, described Global Citizen Kelowna as the coming together of a community for a common purpose and has shared the concept with communities around the world.  Now in it's 7th year, Global Citizen Kelowna Week is a series of stand-alone events that aim to encourage the citizens of Kelowna to do what they can to meet the United Nation's Millennium Development Goals.

We have been working with Global Citizen Kelowna for many years and in 2011 it became apparent that a redesign was in order.  The GCK website poised a number of logistical problems in that the site was meant to promote the organization Global Citizen Kelowna, as well as, the events that are put on in conjunction with various organization including the Intercultural Society of the Central Okanagan, Art is Hope and numerous non-profit, cultural and ethnic groups.

Our approach was to seperate the navigations.  GCK as an organization is represented on the wwebsite by a smaller navigation on the top of the page with descriptions of the organization, resources, ways to get involved, press and contact pages.  The events take precedence with a vertical banner on the homepage and a horizontal banner on event inside pages which lists all the events taking place.  The event pages themselves are set up with a set layout to increase the ease of finding information for each event while surfing the site.  These particular pages demonstrate the various sponsors, event details, costs, times, locations and google maps. 

The response on the website has been very positive.  Our favorite description was "hot hot hot" and we appreciate the sentiment.  To anyone who sees this post I stronly recommend you visit Global Citizen Kelowna and attend events or volunteer.  Visit Global Citizen Kelowna!
