HATS Website & Blog Changes

August 12, 2016 Posted by Karen Huxter 1 Comment

Hi everyone,

As Jim shared back in May, the HATS-Haiti website and blog has been under going some changes. We are excited to share these changes are complete. We hope you will visit the site and share your feedback. The following are some of the highlights.

Look & Feel
One of the biggest changes to the site is the overall look and feel. We have changed the layout, color schemes, menu, and more in an effort to make the website more user friendly. Our menu now includes the following items:

  • Home
  • About – Includes Our Vision & Mission, Our History, Our Partners, Financial Accountability
  • People – Includes Directors in Haiti, Staff, Kids, Teachers, Board of Directors
  • Join Us – Includes Volunteer Opportunities, Visit Haiti, Fundraising Opportunities, Our Events

  • Sponsor – Includes Sponsor a Student, Sponsor a Teacher
  • Galleries – Includes Children’s Home, Come to Haiti, Outreach & Mercy, Scenes from Haiti, School
  • Contact
  • Blog

Blog

Our blog has moved! You may have noticed the http://hatshaiti.blogspot.ca URL is now redirecting you to the blog page on the HATS website at https://hatshaiti.org/blog. Moving the blog to the website allowed us to give it the same look & feel, and for overall maintenance to be easier.

Causes
The new website structure allowed us to feature our Causes. On each cause page we are able to provide a detailed description and a gallery of related photos. Donations can be made directly to the cause using PayPal. You will notice we are featuring the following causes:

  • Children’s Home
  • Mercy Ministry
  • School
  • Community Outreach

Read more about our Causes here.

Projects
We are also featuring our projects. For each project we are able to share a detailed description, budget, start date, end date, and current status. You will notice we are featuring the following projects:

  • School Well & Water
  • Staff/Volunteer Housing
  • Secondary Classroom
  • School Yard Completion

Read more about our Projects here.

Galleries
One of the very cool features of the new site is the ability to share galleries of photos. Check out our Galleries here.

Comments or Suggestions?

In the ever changing world of technology, there are always things that can be improved upon so you will continue to see tweaks in the future. Feel free to send us your thoughts on the changes so far, or to recommend additional considerations!
