This will be quick. Please read it all.

I’ve been hosting and managing the Atlanta Web Design Group for nearly 5 years. A lot has happened in that time.

  1. It’s grown from 200 people to nearly 3000. Sadly, there’s no good way for you to connect with each other online.
  2. We’ve had a great number of events full of fantastic info. All of which exists only in our memories. There’s no online archive.
  3. Many of you have asked for and suggested features and other things the group could do to provide more value to members like you. There’s just no way to make those happen on Meetup.

I could go on and on, but I promised this would be quick.

Managing the group and the events we host is a lot of work. I love helping the community grow and prosper, but we’re at a breaking point.

You might not feel it, but we really need to have our own website to make it easier to participate in the group, get information about events, and all the other things you’d like us to do.

We can do this.

The only way the group can grow and be better is to build our own website to connect all the things we do in one place. And the only way that’ll happen is if you back our Kickstarter project. You want a better AWDG. Why haven’t you backed it yet?

You have a choice.

Be a hero, back the project to help us grow and improve — or — live with the status quo and know we could have been more.

Every dollar counts. I’m counting on you.

Thanks for reading…
