Making the site

Wow, a Dutch charities portal site, goededoel.nl just stole the design from LinkedIn.

Update 2
The design was changed (a little).

For developing Helpalot we are now able to freely use the excellent software of Axure.

This software enables you to quickly make a prototype of a website. Being tailor designed to be the best tool for an interaction designer, it helps the design process itself and explaining the concept to others.

At work we recently bought the software and since I enjoyed it so much, I contacted Axure if perhaps they would be able to support Helpalot and here I am typing that Axure is our newest Friend of Helpalot.

I have much more to write about, but I’m too busy at the moment..

I’ll probably write a bigger update on Thursday.

A great speech, really inspirational:
