Big Day for MoveSmart.org: New Site Launches

hooray!After nearly two years of talking about MoveSmart.org, it's finally a reality. Our alpha site is now live! We've got a new logo, a new theme, new color scheme, a new content management system (Drupal), and the Guides system is up and running!

As you can see, there's still a great deal of work to be done. The Neighborhood Finder system is not yet live and so far there are just a handful of guides. But, thanks to a grant from the Field Foundation, you can expect to see an initial version of the Neighborhood Finder system live in early July. Along the way, we'll regularly be adding features, Guides, blog posts, and a few things we're keeping secret for now.

Alpha Launch Soon...

You've likely noticed that the MoveSmart.org blog has been quiet for the last few weeks, but we promise it's been for good reason. Through a partnership with the Chicago Tech Coop, we were able to make Drupal developer Rebecca White the first MoveSmart.org Fellow. And even more exciting, her work will finally get us to an alpha launch!

While this initial version of MoveSmart.org will be just a fraction of what we've planned, it represents a significant and meaningful step forward for the organization.
