In 2019, the WordPress Special Projects Team (WPST) reached out to APTN, offering to provide pro bono web services covering the full costs and lifetime maintenance for the APTN website. This happened to coincide with APTN’s 10 year anniversary. Along with Endoh Collaborative, a feminist digital agency based in Canada, APTN worked with WPST to develop and implement the website from February 2020 to May 2021.
Endoh Collaborative is a feminist digital agency that believes in using our powers for good by helping nonprofits, arts & culture and socially responsible organizations grow, thrive, and make a lasting positive impact. You can visit their website here:
The new website was completed and launched in mid-2021, and it has helped to improve APTN’s advocacy and influence. Both Endoh Collaborative and Automattic’s WordPress team worked closely with APTN to ensure the website design met their needs and expectations. Also Community partners helped to review some early design and mock ups, to help find the right direction for the website.
Automattic’s Special Projects team ensures that influential people and organisations have a great experience with WordPress. They were excited to work with APTN because they believe that the work the organization is doing with advocacy and leadership development for trans and gender-diverse people in Asia-Pacific countries is remarkable.
