About The Project
Youth2Youth’s mission is to reduce substance abuse among youth and promote healthy lifestyles through education and advocacy. I have been designing and coding their website since around 1999. The re-design called for two sites in one. This time around we wanted to make sure we translated everything for our Spanish students so we have a handy Spanish site. This isn’t your ordinary Google Translate button, the pages are duplicated in WordPress with WPML. We had a native spanish speaker translate each page to ensure the translations were correct. We also added a brand new podcast where users can send a message directly from their computer or mobile device. The backend is streamlined to make it easy for the staff to update anytime they need to, both in English and Spanish. Check it out at https://www.y2y4c.com
