Here at Grand Junction Design, we have always focused on clients who are trying to do good for the world. We can't help but get excited when others reach out to help them further their mission as well.

Posted on Thursday, January 28, 2010 by Margaux

For most of my adult life idealist.org has been at the heart of the nonprofit sector -- a nexus of inspired people who wanted to change the world.

Websites empower non-profits by providing them with platforms to launch their own independent media outlets.

I studied journalism in college so when I think about website development, I tend to think in terms of communications rather than code.

That’s why I’m learning how to make websites. My dream is to create publications platforms for organizations and causes I support. Read more »

If We're Gonna Change the World...
