48 nonprofit websites in 48 hours. What?!?!?
48in48.org
It's Our Code!
48in48 is a nonprofit that holds events to build 48 nonprofit websites in 48 hours. These are location specific allowing local professionals to give back by using their skills to help organizations in their communities.
Sideways8 employees have also been participants at each of the events helping to build sites, handle on site support, and be available as a resource whenever necessary.
The Sideways8 team has been an integral piece of the puzzle by developing the technology platform with which these events are held. We've created a custom portal that uses a unique integration of WordPress. This platform allows each event to house 48 websites that have identical tool sets available to them allowing each team to quickly build a new website for their nonprofits.
Sideways8 co-founder Adam Walker is also co-founder of 48in48 along with Jeff Hilimire of Dragon Army. They set out initially to hold one of these events in their home city of Atlanta. Due to its great success, they started branching out and 48in48 has since been held in New York, Boston, Minneapolis, Bloomington, and Durham. This year 48in48 will go international and add London to that list!
