Ulanguzi Creates 'Extreme' Website for Edenton Builders.

Agency builds website and communications portal for Extreme Makeover : Home Edition's 143rd build.

RALEIGH, N.C., March 3 /PRNewswire/ -- Included in the efforts, are a website, www.extremeEBheroes.com, which serves as a clearing house for information and a resource for volunteer and donation activities and an online logistics management portal to coordinate the thousands of people and supplies needed to successfully complete the build. Just as the show relies on the efforts of volunteers, Ulanguzi is donating all of the services needed to build and maintain these systems.

"An important part of Ulanguzi includes doing things that matter, that make a positive contribution to the world," remarks Ulanguzi Designer Matt Tarpley. "This is absolutely one of those things."

"Like so much of what we do, this project brought together disciplines from throughout the agency," adds Web Developer Ryan Keefer. "The real-time collaboration of our entire team was instrumental in completing this project in an impossibly short timeframe."

With the builder announced and the web system launched, Ulanguzi has met its first goal of creating an active information portal, and with the project build and show air dates approaching quickly, the website and their associated systems will prove to be instrumental to a successful home build for one very deserving family.
