In addition to general content updates, including adding new case studies, we studied our site statistics and viewer habits to learn where we could improve site performance with the goals of reducing bounce rate, and increasing visitor time-on-site and page views. In the article we review the goals and reasons for the change, and the effects that we realized since launch.

Hungerbear.com

In 2009, Food Bank of Central New York developed Hunger Bear as a way to clarify the link between hunger in the community, and the types of things that most help the Food Bank continue to do good work. What began as a television and radio ad campaign, Food Bank approached stressdesign with how to continue to spread the word about hunger and how to promote the Hunger Bear. We helped Food Bank launch an e-commerce website, where visitors can buy their own Hunger Bear as a teaching tool, a reminder and a mascot to eliminate hunger.  View HungerBear.com, or read more at stressdesign.
