Have you ever wondered what it takes to build a web site from scratch?

June 25, 2009 (Greenville, SC) -- Patterned after a community building
effort for a home or a playground, PumpUpTheSite is a day-long
community effort to build a better web site for a non-profit
organization that can't afford a much-needed refresh. This time, on
July 11, the Greenville Jaycees will get a web site that helps the
Jaycees better communicate its goal of building business leaders and
supports fundraising efforts.

Aspiring web site builders, established web site professionals, media
professionals and the generally curious are invited. Greenville-area
web designers, programmers and consultants will gather on Saturday,
July 11, to sit down at the OrangeCoat office in Greenville. Their
goal is to complete all graphic design, copy and programming necessary
to launch the web site at the end of the day.

PumpUpTheSite is looking for people with any level of skill who are
willing to help build the site. The participants don't like to work
alone, however, so the general public is invited to give feedback and
support as the site is being built.

There will be plenty of seats for participants and spectators alike,
and food will be provided by our sponsors. Simply register (for free) at
www.pumpupthesite.com.This event is limited to the first 50 registrants.

The Jaycees helps young adults build the skills needed to be
successful at work through service projects. The Greenville chapter of
this international charitable organization raises thousands of dollars
annually for Camp Hope, a summer camp for disabled adults, and special
events like the Christmas Shopping tour supporting the Boys and Girls
Club.

PumpUpTheSite is organized and by OrangeCoat, View Digital Media and Nullvariable Web Consulting.
