Second to doing client-based work, Station Four actively works on a number of projects, some of which are design to organize and energize the community.
jacksonville visual arts
Station Four is currently working on an web application design to help organize the local Jacksonville art community, allowing artists and galleries to promote themselves and their art. This project is currently in the planning stages and Station Four is being proactive in talking with artists and gallery owners in determining what would be of most value to them.
organic farms
S4 is working on an application that makes it easier for local restaurants and establishments to connect and order from organic farms and co-ops in the surrounding areas.
charity work
At Station Four we try to have at least one active project for a good cause or non-profit organization on a pro bono or reduced rate basis.
Lutheran Social Services
Station Four is teaming up with Lutheran Social Services of Northeast Florida to take the lead on a comprehensive redesign and custom application to help LSS implement specific branding efforts, communicate with their volunteers and donors.
Lutheran Social Services of Northeast Florida was formed in 1970 and is a social service organization with a primary objective of helping people in need in Northeast Florida and is one of the most highly respected not-for-profit organizations in North Florida.
By teaming up with Station Four, LSS hopes to be able to be able to better serve thousands of individuals and families with needs ranging from food, shelter, and education to disease education and prevention. Most recently Station Four worked with LSS to quickly develop the website for the Jacksonville Food Fight website.
