FullCodePress
Need to add FullCodePress story here, include initial application to be considered as a member of the Codaroos team, the pre-design preparation (included possible layout grids being either 7 or 12 columns, fonts styling for eligibility and easy scanning, as well as reviewing a large number of non profit websites) and training before hand.
The above photograph is of the Codaroos and client after the 24 hour FullCodePress event with the winning trophy.

Why the Codaroos took first place at FullCodePress
The following points was taken from the FullCodePress website Some points made from the judges where:
- The site content and design is perfectly aligned with the target audience and the brand, plus it’s very approachable and very compelling to a broader audience.
- From the homepage you instantly know exactly what it’s about, why you should care and you learn a lot about the organisation and the people it serves.
- The content draws you in, you start reading and you can’t stop. It’s emotionally engaging, sincere and personable. It tells great stories.
- The navigation anticipates and addresses the primary questions people are likely to want answered in a simple and engaging way.
- The site is very basic: it’s only two levels deep. This makes it easy to get around and easy to maintain.
- Audience participation is encouraged with features like user stories, name our dogs and online donations.
- The functionality to submit content is a very simple form, which is easy to use for both the audience and the site administrators.
- The underpinning technology is relatively stock standard, making it easy to update and maintain.
- The technology is robust and relatively future proof. Careful attention was given to the longevity and sustainability of the site.
