As some of you might know, my background is actually in urban geography. Working at Affinity Bridge is a bit of a dream job for me, as someone with a passion for sustainability and positive change, because our clients are doing such amazing work to make our local and global communities a better place. It makes me feel like I'm helping contribute in a greater sense, and that I have a way to be involved in many vital projects.
I sometimes think of the process of planning, developing, and launching websites as very much like urban planning projects. There is this somewhat vague online space that someone has decided should be built. We spend time asking questions about goals, user-bases, technical requirements, feelings we want to elicit from those who visit this space. Then we tease these into a concrete plan, and create this space and structure that will house interactions between people, ideas, and information to be shared with the outside world.
