WWW dot - The Wide World of our Website

By Amanda Dunn


As a user, you probably haven’t noticed much difference, but QL+ recently rebuilt our website from the ground up! We’ve also worked hard to update our other online channels – Facebook, Twitter, and our blog – but that’s a whole other blog topic!

The changes to the QL+ website were driven by a need to transfer the whole site to a new CMS (that’s Content Management System to all you non-geeks!). However, the move gave us the chance to make some exciting changes across the whole site – from reading our latest testimonials, to a whole photo album of pictures from the Veterans Day BBQ 2011.

In this digital age, our website is probably our most important communication tool. It’s the first point of contact for new supporters, giving us a chance to tell them about who we are, what we do and how they can help. It’s also the go-to place for our loyal supporters (that’s you!), featuring all our latest news, as well as a quick and easy option for donating online. 

Here are some of the exciting things you can do on our updated website:

  • Watch an embedded video about ‘Fighting for Life’, the sobering documentary that was the original inspiration behind QL+
  • Link directly to our Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, and blog via the icons on our homepage – except you’ve probably already done that if you're here, reading this!
  • Check our Event Calendar to see what's coming up next for QL+ staff, students and challengers
  • Sign up for our email list and get your own copy of the QL+ Quarterly direct to your inbox every three months!
  • Perhaps, most importantly, make a donation. We now use PayPal, which is fast and easy. Or you can mail us a check, which means that even more of your money goes towards funding projects at the QL+ Lab, where students and faculty develop innovations to help our nation’s wounded warriors achieve their full potential – at work, at home and at play.

So don’t delay, check out our new website TODAY!
