WASHINGTON, Sept. 20, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- The
Department of Homeland Security (DHS) selected Coforma, via a
partnership with digital services company TechFlow, to provide user
experience (UX) design, content strategy, translation, and
front-end development for the together.gov website that enables the
Family Reunification Task Force (Task Force), created through an
Executive Order by President Biden in February 2021, to register families separated by
the U.S. government at the U.S.-Mexico border between January 20, 2017 and January 20, 2021.
Veteran, minority, and immigrant-owned small business Coforma
helped Family Reunification Task Force create together.gov
Coforma, an agency that crafts creative solutions and technology
products for the communities served by its government and
commercial partners, began their work on visual design, user
experience design, translation, content strategy, and development
on July 23. Over the course of the
engagement, Coforma worked closely with DHS, the Task Force,
TechFlow, and Eighty2degrees Design Studio to develop a prototype
for the website and registration form. Coforma also provided
translated content and designed the display of audio listening
options in Spanish, Portuguese, K'iche, and M'am languages. The
website and form were tested iteratively with Task Force members as
well as with multilingual stakeholders with direct experience with
family separation.
"The Trump administration's Zero Tolerance policy was one of the
reasons I left the government and founded Coforma (previously named
&Partners). One of our first projects was focused on helping
document family units being separated at the US-Mexico border
during the previous administration so that one day they could be
reunited; that day is now. The work to repair this travesty is far
from done. It's an honor to support President Biden's Task Force
and the creation of together.gov in this milestone moment towards
making things right," said Eduardo
Ortiz, CEO of Coforma.
