    Project Websites
    Buffalo Green Code

    A project website increases awareness about your plan and is a major component of your public engagement strategy.

    A page of PDF's will no longer cut it.

    Your site needs to:

    • Be dynamic and hip
    • Social Media linked
    • Have a two year plan
    • Offer apps that make urban planning fun

    You don't have to do it alone. I will be there every step of the way and also help you reach out to local media outlets to increase awareness about your project and introduce apps that keep the ball the rolling. See what I did for the City of Buffalo.
