the result: obamaworks.org
bells & whistles: A post-election “service pledge” that allowed users to pledge hours to their community in the first year of the Obama administration, a clever event tracking system, and much more.
the verdict: Zero to national grassroots organization in a few months, and from two states to twelve.
notes: Obama Works has been much more than another web design project. It was a constant source of inspiration for me and the rest of our team as we worked to mobilize volunteers across the country to do meaningful community service, voter registration and visibility in support of President Obama’s candidacy.
