CDG Interactive Blog

A big congratulations to CDG’s friends at the American Foundation for the Blind (AFB) and the National Association for Parents of Children with Visual Impairments (NAPVI). FamilyConnect, an AFB/NAPVI-produced website for parents of visually impaired children, was named a "2008 Outstanding Product" in the iParenting Media Awards.

Singled out for its helpful, comprehensive content, the site was lauded as a first-rate resource for parents who are raising a child with visual impairment.

CDG is proud to have been a partner in bringing this site to fruition. Directing the creative strategy for the project, our contributions included:

• Conducting preliminary focus groups and analysis
• Developing the information architecture and site taxonomy
• Developing a creative definition and aesthetic concept for the site
• Conducting user testing sessions on a site prototype
• Creating a cohesive, comprehensive, and accessible design for the site

We’re thrilled that iParenting has brought added visibility and prominence to FamilyConnect. It’s a well-deserved honor for AFB and NAPVI—and will hopefully make even more parents aware of a unique and valuable online resource.
