Rochester Area Youth Assistance

March 30,  2009 by David Zemens

Rochester Area Youth AssistanceProject Complete: I am a member of a community organization known as Rochester Area Youth Assistance (RAYA).

RAYA is a non-profit organization of volunteers, working in conjunction with a professional full-time counselor, whose goal is to strengthen youth and families. Through RAYA’s efforts we expect to see a reduction in the the incidents of delinquency, abuse and neglect through volunteer involvement.

At a board meeting last week, the RAYA leadership expressed the desire to have a website developed and said that they had been in contact with a web designer who works with non-profit organizations such as RAYA. I asked if this designer was willing to develop the site for free, and needless to say the answer was that they were not.

Being between projects, I set to work on creating a website for the group. I am very pleased with the outcome. The site is clean, uncluttered and professional looking. Although the images provided were not of the best quality, I am happy with the final product.

As usual, this site is constructed to to the Strict standard and uses valid XHTML code. I have used one little tweak in the CSS code to make Safari behave correctly:


/* 
Safari only hack
http://dustinbrewer.com/css-hackgetting-safari-to-behave/
*/
@media screen and (-webkit-min-device-pixel-ratio:0){
#menu ul li a {padding-top:20px;}
#menu ul li.current_page_item a {padding-top:24px;}
#menu ul li a:hover, #menu ul li a:active, #menu ul li a:focus {
	margin-top:7px;
	padding: 14px 12px 7px 12px;
}
}

But other than that, the CSS is standard compliant as well. The site is also Section 508 compliant.

Once again, I have built this site using WordPress as the backend content management system. This will afford the site adminstrator the ability to make reasonable content changes to the site as well as to write news articles and to provide other updated information.

I wish RAYA good luck with their new website!

I Work Here

Map of our location

Even though I work in metro Detroit, I have worked with clients from Seattle, Washington to Jacksonville, Florida. That pretty much covers all the United States.

I can work with your project, too!

Where Are You Located?

I am located in Rochester, Michigan but have worked with clients from coast to coast. Distance is never a problem. I’ll communicate with you quickly and you’ll feel that I’m just around the corner – no matter the distance between us.

1955

I was born in 1955. I'm old enough to remember the internet before "www" was around. Just white text on a black screen. No graphics. This means I'm experienced. Why not use my experience to your advantage?
