Thrilled to launch a hand-crafted website today for Public School Strong: publicschoolstrong.org

Already a nationwide platform for concerned parents and teachers advocating for public schools, we worked with the client to clarify what exactly people sign up for or join – and how to better visualize these groups and events

PSS also already had some branding work done, so we found a way to elevate their visuals with just the right details and subtle messages to proudly stand out plus look great in other mediums like posters or flyers

Check it out and consider joining a local chapter today

Back-end: Custom WordPress + ControlShift API

New work for the State of California is now up, showing off their #CalHeatScore project: youtu.be/PPuvrLz4gAk

It's a public health mapping tool to help Californians stay informed, ready, and safe when temperatures rise.

FWD:labs had the opportunity to work with @healtogetherschools and @raceforward to boost up their national #PublicSchoolStrong efforts by creating a brand-new website: HEALToWin.org.

Hand-crafted as a custom WordPress site, alongside some fancy real-time API interconnectivity with ControlShift and original work by our go-to illustrator @ingoadwetrust, we shaped the messaging and opportunities to drive more growth. It's a jumping off point for parents, students, educators, and community members who believe every child deserves equitable access to quality public schools that don’t discriminate.

Shout outs to Race Forward's Anastasia Ordonez and Isaac Grimm on the content and brand side, plus
Kristy Arrighi on the ControlShift side!

Fortunate for a whirlwind of film productions in recent months as the industry seems to be picking up again. Our projects for small businesses, unions, higher education, nonprofits, and entertainment clients all have something in common: they come to us for strategic creative through to speedy completion. Bite sized content drops that move. 🔥

One of several releases we've done this month: a brand-new site for the Association of Clovis Educators (@cloviseducators) just launched.

We worked with parent union @wearecta to completely redesign ACE's Weebly site into a more robust, custom WordPress site. It was a joy to work with their local union organizers to strike that perfect balance of fresh issues-forward content with clear ways to get involved and learn more, without needing a ton of time to maintain.

Check it out: cloviseducators.org

We've been doing custom integrations with Stripe for over a decade.

Just helped another client move from Stripe to Stripe Checkout to boost conversions, add pay-what-you-want, and enable more payment methods – all out-of-the-box.

If you need help with Stripe, drop us a line.

View Instagram Stories in Secret

The Instagram Story Viewer is an easy tool that lets you secretly watch and save Instagram stories, videos, photos, or IGTV. With this service, you can download content and enjoy it offline whenever you like. If you find something interesting on Instagram that you’d like to check out later or want to view stories while staying anonymous, our Viewer is perfect for you. Anonstories offers an excellent solution for keeping your identity hidden. Instagram first launched the Stories feature in August 2023, which was quickly adopted by other platforms due to its engaging, time-sensitive format. Stories let users share quick updates, whether photos, videos, or selfies, enhanced with text, emojis, or filters, and are visible for only 24 hours. This limited time frame creates high engagement compared to regular posts. In today’s world, Stories are one of the most popular ways to connect and communicate on social media. However, when you view a Story, the creator can see your name in their viewer list, which may be a privacy concern. What if you wish to browse Stories without being noticed? Here’s where Anonstories becomes useful. It allows you to watch public Instagram content without revealing your identity. Simply enter the username of the profile you’re curious about, and the tool will display their latest Stories. Features of Anonstories Viewer: - Anonymous Browsing: Watch Stories without showing up on the viewer list. - No Account Needed: View public content without signing up for an Instagram account. - Content Download: Save any Stories content directly to your device for offline use. - View Highlights: Access Instagram Highlights, even beyond the 24-hour window. - Repost Monitoring: Track the reposts or engagement levels on Stories for personal profiles. Limitations: - This tool works only with public accounts; private accounts remain inaccessible. Benefits: - Privacy-Friendly: Watch any Instagram content without being noticed. - Simple and Easy: No app installation or registration required. - Exclusive Tools: Download and manage content in ways Instagram doesn’t offer.
