Some of the SC Geeks have unofficially adopted the phrase “Think Globally, Act Locally” as a business motto. It is used by business and environmental organizations in various contexts, but to us, it expresses the ideal sustainable model: fed by local collaboration and compatible with the global community.
In that spirit, we have launched Hope Foundry. Hope Foundry provides new opportunities to small businesses and future developers by offering reduced-cost websites and free job training. We are accepting sponsors who will receive a powerful website package in one month for a (significantly) reduced rate while providing free education for the next generation of developers.
How does it work?
A sponsor pays a flat rate of $3,000. In return, they receive:
- Strategic web consultation
- Usability features
- Custom appearance
- Content management tools
- Online community add-ons
Want to know more about what you can get? The full feature set is available here.
Ten students enrolled in Hope Foundry’s Drupal training program spend one month constructing the website, guided and supervised by Quiddities senior developers. This way, sponsors save thousands of dollars on web development without cutting corners while providing free job training to the community. There are also opportunities to hire a Hope Foundry graduate to perform routine maintenance and updates to the new Drupal site.
Want to purchase a Hope Foundry website and provide free job training? Want to enroll in our free training program for Drupal developers? You can apply at hopefoundry.com. Help us make improvements locally to the global community.
