The Center for Inquiry (CFI) has released a redesigned homepage for its flagship website, centerforinquiry.org. For decades, the nonprofit Center for Inquiry has been a leading advocate for promoting reason, science, and secular values around the world. The homepage redesign seeks to emphasize that history while showcasing the many active programs and initiatives that CFI supports, from magazine publications and human rights advocacy work to providing free educational resources for teachers, landmark consumer protection litigation, and public policy advocacy.
“CFI’s wide-ranging work touches on a variety of different areas,” said Michael Powell, the organization’s director of digital products and strategy who led the redesign.
“Our new homepage will make it much easier for visitors to quickly learn about our many programs, events, and advocacy initiatives,” Powell said. “Our hope is to give new visitors and current members of the CFI community easy, at-a-glance information about our history, the work that we’re doing, and how they can connect with and support our mission.”
The redesigned homepage features an updated menu for improved navigability, callouts highlighting the efforts across the organization’s key mission elements (advocating reason, science education, and secular values), capsule information about its latest magazine publications, and images of some of the organization’s founders and key players throughout its history, such as Carl Sagan, James Randi, Paul Kurtz, Tom Flynn, and Richard Dawkins. The revamp also highlights ways that visitors can get involved in CFI’s advocacy work or find local skeptics or secular humanist groups in their area.
