Pro bono publico is a Latin phrase meaning "for the public good." Pro bono today is a common practice in our service based reality and refers to professional work that is voluntarily given without payment as a public service. This type of service is usually found in the marketing, technology, and law practices where specific skills of professionals can be utilized by people and companies that are not able to afford them.
Scratch Web Design of Limerick, Ireland is a clean and stylish International and local Web design firm that offers quality pro bono work. After talking with Barra who handles all of Scratch Web Design's (scratchwebdesign.com) pro bono work she stated that "Due to Limited Resources Scratch Web Design only takes on Pro Bono work from Local non-profit organizations and charities." From the website www.scratchwebdesign.com I gathered that Scratch Web Design appreciates and respects the valuable work that non-profit organizations carry out in the local community in their hometown of Limerick City, Ireland. And they are pleased to offer FREE or discounted web design and hosting services to deserving organizations. Pro-bono web design from Scratch Web Design is offered only on a limited basis as resources permit and are available to organizations whose primary source of funding is derived from contributions from the general public.
Scratch Web Design Unfortunately states that Pro bono websites are limited to a maximum of five pages of content and cannot be extended to e-commerce or database driven websites. I have emailed Barra for examples of Scratch Web Designs pro bono work and will follow up on this post. Also soon to come is the Process that Scratch uses when handling pro bono web work.
