Have you heard of the The Red Circle Project (RCP) http://www.redcircleproject.org/ at AIDS Project Los Angeles (APLA)? The RCP is the only HIV Prevention Program in Los Angeles County that specifically provides services to the Native American /Alaska Native Community and TINHORN CONSULTING, LLC, had the incredible opportunity to give their website a face-lift. Working with their passionate team, we strategized and organized their content. What do you think of the site?
