Lessons Learned quick building a website
Jeremy Cronan (Alliance Safety Council)
A friend and I recently released a registry website called Crisishaven.org to help with the recovery in the flooding. We wanted to get it out quickly so that people can start connecting with people in need and those that can help. I will go over some lessons I learned while I started building the website.
