We have been very busy at ammado over the past weeks. Most of our efforts have been focused on improving the look and feel of our site. We are really excited to release this improved version to the public! We provided a sneak peek last week but now you can take a look at the site revamp for yourself!
If this is your first time visiting ammado, allow me to give you an overview:
ammado is the global online community of people who care. This is our blog where we provide a running commentary and news about our community. ammado connects socially engaged individuals and organisations dedicated to positive change on a global and local level.
ammado has a vision to build a community that will change our world. Individuals on ammado can share their interests, upload their photos and videos and meet like minded people. They can also show their support for and donate to their favourite organisations and campaign for causes in which they believe. Organisations use ammado to reach a large interested audience, engage volunteers, increase awareness of their brand and engage new supporters and volunteers.
On ammado, organisations are able to upload information about themselves and the work they do, publish news and articles, share photos and videos with their network, create polls and petitions and communicate instantly with their supporters, potential partners, within communities setup on ammado and other organisations from around the world. Organisations on ammado include charities, sports clubs and universities.It is completely free for everyone to join ammado.
We hope you like the new and improved ammado website!
Over the last few months we have been busy colouring in the ammadowebsite! We have moved some things around, splashed some paint here and there, and now we are nearly ready to open the doors to the public. The new and improved ammado site will greatly improve your user experience, enhance the site usability and make it easier to navigate ammado.
The redesign will introduce a:
- New homepage.
- New member profile design.
- New organisation profile design.
- New communities design.
- New everything!
The ammado redesign will be launched as part of our 1.0 release which is due within the next two weeks! Until then we will be busy crossing the t’s and dotting the i’s to ensure that everything goes to plan. So without further adieu, here are some screenshots of the forth coming redesign (click to enlarge). We hope you like them

The redesigned ammado website brings many enhancements over the current site:
- Vertical menus on all profiles instead of horizontal ones to improve general layout issues and localisation.
- Better inline editing for components such as ‘About Me’ , ‘My Interests’ , ‘Organisation Overview’…
- ‘What’s New?’ widget is more prominent and is moved to within the cleaner looking passport on private profiles.
- The improved layout brings more content to the top of the pages which in turn reduces scrolling (a little bit!).
- Improved icons for videos, photos, articles, etc..
- Better display of photos within photo albums.
- Improved photo upload functionality.
- Sections are colour themed to emphasis where you are on the site.
- Improved handling of localisation (switching between languages and how ammado displays multiple languages).
- We have enhanced the display of confirmation and error messages.
- Improved navigation across the entire site.
- And finally the removal of the word beta from our logo!
