Online Volunteer Web Designers needed

by 2 Comments

Thank you for not only becoming a fan of HINT but doing something to promote our cause – inviting facebook friends to join, liking content on our website, etc.

One of the ways we are helping other non-profits and faith-based organisations and groups around the world is providing domain name registration, web hosting and web design at an incredibly low fee. All proceeds go towards supporting HINT.

Currently, we are not able to match the demand for websites with our limited number of volunteer web designers.

So, we need more volunteer designers to sign up to help. Donating your web design skills this way will be a great way to volunteer and make a difference without ever leaving your home town.

If you have web design skills and would like to help, send an email to info @ hintonline.org to express your interest. If you are not a web designer but know someone or a group of web designers, then please forward this mail to them.

If you need college/university credit for the work you do, we will be more than happy to help.

Thank you
Genesis Tinshu
Executive Director, HINT
