JERSEY CITY, NJ (PRWEB) October 6, 2003 -based website design and development firm, today announced that it has agreed to provide a pro-bono donation of services to Identity House. This is the fifth year since Within Reachs inception that they have donated services to the not-for-profit community, totaling over $15,000 to date.

The Identity House project will result in a completely new look for their website, as well as a new architecture that is much more search engine friendly and easier to maintain. Features that will be added include the ability to accept online donations, an online forum for discussions and debate, and an archive of valuable research and personal information that visitors can search and review.

We are very happy to help Identity House with their growing web needs," said Michael Truese, creative director of Within Reach Concepts. So may firms, especially in the not-for-profit sector, start out with a volunteer-built site that can quickly outgrow the abilities or time commitment of the volunteer who built it. These sites then either stagnate, collapse or grow into a confused tangle of pages, and the organization is left with an unmanageable mess. We try to help bring some order and structure, and ease of maintenance, to the organizations we help."

In the past five years, Within Reach Concepts has donated pro-bono services for other not-for-profit groups, including Angels Plight, The Hetrick-Martin Institute, and more recently, The Chelsea Community Supported Agriculture coop. (www.chelseacsa.org).

The Chelsea CSA has been incredibly lucky that Mike Truese designed its web site," said Miriam Rabban, Director of Community Outreach at the Chelsea CSA. He has demonstrated much appreciated initiative, creativity, and style for a web site that has brought the group to a whole new level . Well be grateful forever."

The total value of all donated services over the past five years, if invoiced as full-pay projects, would exceed $15,000. And that number continues to grow, as Within Reach Concepts continues to provide ongoing maintenance and support to these groups. We want to give back something of ourselves to the community we live in," says Mr. Truese. We felt that our specific skills and knowledge would be much more valuable than just writing a check. Each year we pick a group to work with, usually through referrals from clients."
