October, 19 2011 Comments
During our Website Redesign webinar, one attendee asked a great question:"You talk about doing research about who your current audience is, but what about identifying and catering towards your target audience (the people who you want to be visiting the website, but aren't necessarily yet)?"

Net Tuesday is a fantastic (and free) monthly event for Vancouver-area nonprofits and the techies who love them, and I'm delighted to be their guest this evening.The event takes place at W2 Media Cafe at 111 West Hastings, and begins at 6:00 pm.

Better Questions, Better Websites: Free event for Vancouver web designers
September, 19 2011 CommentsI'm excited to have been invited to speak to the Vancouver Webdesign Meetup group this week on a topic that's close to my heart: Asking better questions. In this talk, I go beyond widgets and code, and deeper than site architecture and design - to the root of what drives human interaction, and should drive technology decisions as well: function, meaning, delight and evolution.
The event takes place Wednesday, September 21 at 7:00 pm. More details here.

Social Media for Nonprofit Boards
August, 18 2011 Comments
Update: Our slide deck, and a full recording of this presentation, are now available for viewing - just scroll down to the end of this post. Like many of my colleagues here at Raised Eyebrow, I sit on a couple of nonprofit boards in my spare time - and one of the things that's been rewarding for me when I wear that hat is that I can bring some web-geeky expertise to the table and help my fellow board members understand how they can leverage their online networks as well as their offline ones, to support the causes we're involved in. -
Redesigning Your Website? What You Need to Know
August, 15 2011 Comments
Update: Our slide deck, and a full recording of this presentation, are now available for viewing - just scroll down to the end of this post. So, it's the thirteenth time you've come up against the limitations of your current website, and you feel like you're hitting your head against a not-very-forgiving wall. Maybe it can't support multimedia the way you want it to. Or you really need an events calendar, but you've been hacking your blog as a sort of workaround that doesn't really cut the mustard. Or hey - maybe it just looks dated, and that shade of yellow you all loved five years ago is looking tired. You know it's time for a redesign. -
Getting Your Message Out During an Election
August, 9 2011 Comments
Update: Our slide deck from this presentation is now available for viewing - just scroll down to the end of this post. In the nearly 12 years Raised Eyebrow has been in business, we've seen quite a few elections - federal, provincial and municipal - come and go, and with them an abundance of excitement, chaos, and hope for positive change. As a new season of elections looms this fall, we're taking some time to share what we've learned in working with nonprofits and other mission-driven organizations to get their stories and priorities on the table at a time when poll results and politicians' dirty laundry are dominating public discourse. -
Raised Eyebrow Webinars for Non-Profit Organizations
July, 11 2011 CommentsThis September, we'll be starting a series of webinars on a variety topics for non-profit organizations. Each webinar will be approximately an hour long, including time allotted for questions, are open to anyone interested in the topic, and are free to attend. The topics are drawn from regular themes that emerge out of our strategy sessions with clients and workshops we've given on a smaller scale in the past. They will be presented by the partners at Raised Eyebrow, Lauren Bacon and Emira Mears.
The topics and dates are listed below with links to further descriptions as well as links to GoToWebinar, where you can register for the events. We do hope you'll join us, and if you have suggestions for topics you're interested in having us address in future webinars or workshops, please let us know.
