GOOD Stuff

I am very excited to share GOOD, which I discovered as a link on a web design website. GOOD describes itself as "a collaboration of individuals, businesses, and nonprofits pushing the world forward," stating that
"since 2006 we've been making a magazine, videos, and events for people who give a damn." I like their style!

At the top of its website, GOOD has three tabs; What is GOOD, Choose GOOD, and Make GOOD Better. When I first accessed the site, I immediately clicked on the "what is" tab, wanting to know more about this site; this is where I received the information above. I became immediately interested and wanted to learn more. Obviously the people at GOOD are doing a great job of getting people's attention, just like they got mine! The more I explored the site, the more I did give a damn about GOOD.

If you click on Choose GOOD, another tab I mentioned above, a page opens where you can join GOOD and choose a non-profit organization to support. GOOD contributes 100% of all membership fees toward non-profits, and shows exactly how much it has raised thus far. As I'm writing this blog, GOOD has raised nearly $860,000 dollars.

By selecting Make GOOD better, the final tab at the top of the website, you may give feedback to GOOD. The site/webmasters are asking for suggestions, comments, feedback, and they also have a contact us area here.

I have mentioned all of these tabs because I wanted to point out how quickly GOOD showed me the purpose and cause behind its site. I didn't have to dig deep to find out that GOOD is supporting non-profits; I wasn't wasting time sorting through numerous pages on their website. I simply clicked a few tabs on the very top of the main page to find the purpose and drive behind this amazing company. I must also mention that GOOD is simply an awesome website! There are so many rad articles and fun things on here, one could get caught up for hours playing, watching, and reading. I would suggest looking for the blog entry called Intermission, which has a video called "London(harder, better, faster)" which is super cool!

It just seems to me that GOOD is doing everything right to promote itself, and its message on the website. I think it is extremely important for a website to be user-friendly, as well as informative. GOOD did both, and they did it very well.

That is a really GOOD site. I can see how they benefit from having this site to raise money and work with non-profits. It's good to have in mind for future tools. thanks.
