A Message from Penny Forward Founder and CEO, Chris Peterson

Greetings Champions of Change,

Embarking on the journey of a lifetime—revamping Penny Forward’s digital presence! As a lifelong engineer, I’ve dedicated myself to constant improvement, but here’s the real talk: making our website sing for the blind, the low-vision heroes, and the regular sight rockstars is a formidable challenge.

Picture this: I’m like an explorer in uncharted territory, deciphering the intricate language of vision. Some folks have mastered it, but I’m still on that learning curve. And let me tell you, it feels like I’m picking up a new skill every day. Can you relate to the uphill battle?

Kudos to WebPageTest (https://www.webpagetest.org)—it threw a spotlight on some color contrast hiccups on our home page. Cue a Sunday marathon with my sighted wife, fixing and fine-tuning. She uncovered issues I’d missed, despite countless pleas for feedback from our sighted friends.

Now, I’m rallying the troops. I need warriors, visionaries, and champions—people like you. We’re on the lookout for detail virtuosos, the kind who can spot issues in color, shape, size, formatting, and all the intricacies. If you’ve got WordPress prowess, consider it your golden ticket. Bonus points if you’re a wizard with image editing—cropping, resizing, making our visuals pop!

Join our Communications Action Team. Here, we don’t just maintain the website; we craft visual symphonies—PowerPoint presentations, business cards, brochures, digital masterpieces—all in the name of Penny Forward’s expansion.

I’m not just asking for help; I’m inviting you to be a part of something transformative. This role isn’t just critical; it’s a linchpin for our growth. Your skills are the missing piece, and I’m confident that together, we’ll create a Penny Forward that stands for inclusivity and innovation.

Ready to make waves? Head to https://www.pennyforward.com/actionteams, take the plunge, and be a catalyst for change. Let’s redefine accessibility and leave an indelible mark on Penny Forward.

Here’s to crafting a future where everyone is included and empowered!
