Parks and People's New Website Launches

Fastspot, an award winning interactive design agency headquartered in Baltimore MD, recently launched a new site for The Parks & People Foundation, a Baltimore-centric, community-minded non-profit organization.

Designed by Fastspot and running on the content management system, BigTree CMS, the site provides a new, friendly, content-rich site for the Parks and People staff and community.

The Parks and People Foundation, founded in 1984, teamed up with Fastspot in 2009 in order to shift their focus to interactive marketing and community development. The two organizations were a good fit right from the start. Parks and People's mission to improve the quality of life for Baltimore's neighborhoods and residents, and Fastspot's long history of working with non-profits and love for its home town, made for a successful partnership.

The Parks and People Foundation focuses on improving the environmental quality of Baltimore's communities, along with creating innovative ideas for the improvement of social and physical conditions. Parks and People uses greening activities to help build strong sustainable networks within communities. Youth Programs are also a big part of Parks and People's repertoire, providing enriching and community building activities for Baltimore residents of all ages.

Kyle A. DeVaul, Development and Promotions Coordinator, had this to say about the relationship, "Fastspot has moved Parks & People into the 21st Century by creating a website that accurately, thoughtfully and beautifully showcases the important work we do. The site is quickly becoming what we always envisioned: a vibrant and accessible resource for the entire City. On top of all that, the CMS is a breeze to use making it easy for even a novice to update or add content at a moment’s notice.  A+ all around."
