BKV creates award winning nonprofit website at 48in48 Atlanta
BKV creates award winning nonprofit website at 48in48 Atlanta

Atlanta, Georgia (PRWEB) October 19, 2017 -- For the third consecutive year, Atlanta ad agency BKV had a large presence at the annual 48in48 presented by Delta Air Lines hackathon-style event in Atlanta. During the 48-hour event, local marketing professionals — including designers, copywriters, project managers and others — create 48 custom websites for local nonprofits, completely free of charge.

The Clarkston Community Center staff, board and volunteers are very grateful for all of the hard work, time and energy BKV and 48in48 put into creating this wonderful website.

BKV’s support of 48in48 grows deeper every year. For the 2017 event, several employees volunteered in leadership roles for both the planning and execution of the event; the agency also taught two short courses for the participating nonprofits, one on free tools for nonprofits and the other on best practices for local SEO.

The robust team of volunteer designers, art directors, copywriters and project managers took on the heavy lifting. Teams worked around the clock from Friday night to Sunday night to concept, design, write and build brand new websites for two of the event’s nonprofits.

Every year, 48in48 also recognizes the best websites created during the event. This year, BKV was awarded first place for the new Clarkston Community Center website, as well as Best Homepage for the redesigned site for STEAMsport, Inc.

Cindy Bowden, Executive Director of Clarkston Community Center, added, "The Clarkston Community Center staff, board and volunteers are very grateful for all of the hard work, time and energy BKV and 48in48 put into creating this wonderful website. We have already received many compliments and it has only been live a few days. The new website will enable us to reach our audiences with clarity and precision."

Virginia Doty, EVP Director of Nonprofit Accounts at BKV, reflected, “The 48in48 event is always inspiring, and this year was no exception. The nonprofits who participated are all making a real difference in the Atlanta community. To have the opportunity to join with others in our industry to build beautiful, innovative, hard-working websites for them is a privilege. After our team gets caught up on their sleep, we’ll start planning for 2018!”
