Signal's reboot of the Housing Vermont website is now live.

Housing Vermont's a statewide non-profit developer of affordable housing. Founded in 1988, they create permanently affordable housing through partnerships with local organizations, public agencies and the private sector.

The new site features an extensive backend that allows Housing Vermont administrators to update the properties in its portfolio, accept quarterly financial data from property managers and, in turn, upload data to be shown to investors in specialized reports.

Signal built the new site from the ground up to give it a fresh look and bring it in line with current best practices of using semantic design and providing a clear separation among content, style and function.

After almost a year of experimentation, Signal is excited to be expanding our work-from-home program, even as Yahoo retreats from this enlightened policy. May people have asked me if Yahoo's example presents a caution to those of us who are exploring new ways of integrating work into our lives. My answer to this question is simple: Yahoo's example is exactly why we are working from home. We are building a life-style business at Signal, not a giant corporation, and our progressive employment model makes us stronger and more competitive. We are NOT Yahoo. We are small, nimble, tightly knit, and endlessly enthusiastic...and creatively committed to our clients! We use a variety of innovative online services to stay closely connected and coordinated, and in some ways our team is closer than ever. That Yahoo has found that they can't work this way, is all the more reason that small companies like Signal should.

Practical work-from-home policies actually work!
