Small Box Takes on the 24-Hour Web Project, A Web Challenge Benefiting Second Helpings
We are excited to announce our inaugural 24-Hour Web Project, benefiting Second Helpings, an Indy
non-profit that prepares and distributes free, nutritious meals to thousands of hungry children and adults daily. Both the Small Box and Second Helpings teams will come together for 24 contiguous hours to redesign and develop a new, dynamic Web site for the non-profit. Kick-off for the event, held at Second Helpings, will be July 15th at 12 noon and will end on July 16th at 12 noon. A celebratory unveiling will take place at the end of the event.
The Challenge
Inspired by Full Code Press, an event that recently took place in Australia, Small Box decided to bring the generous concept to Indianapolis. The premise of the 24-Hour Web Project is to choose a local non-profit in need and assemble a team to develop an effective Web site - rising to the occasion of a 24-hour challenge to raise awareness for the nonprofit as well as get donations in the process.
The team will have 24 hours to design, develop, implement search engine optimization and launch the new site - no exceptions or extensions. The only information the team has been provided is the name of the nonprofit, an approved site map and photography.
Ben Shine, Marketing Coordinator for Second Helpings is very grateful for the new site, "We have been desperate for a new and improved Web site for many months but haven't had the funding or the team. We are so lucky that Small Box has chosen us and are thrilled to get a brand new site in 24 hours."

 Search Engines of the Future
Search engines are just not as good as they should be. Jeb is constantly amazed by how often they don't even come close to getting me the information he needs. 30% of all searches lead to the user trying a different search. There is a lot of room for improvement. More>>
