Now, we know a lot. We know that social anxiety is not a simple case of shyness or a fear of public speaking. It is a serious mental disorder affecting nearly 15 million American adults. It is all too often misdiagnosed and mistreated. It&#8217;s a big deal, and not enough people know that\u2026but they will.<\/p>\n<p>We began working with the Andrew Kukes Foundation for Social Anxiety (<a href=\"http:\/\/www.akfsa.org\" title=\"AKFSA\" target=\"_blank\">AKFSA<\/a>) a few months ago, and our first major project was to produce a new website for the nonprofit. A first project and a major project, as this website was created to function as an educational source and a hub of communication for three distinct audience groups: sufferers of social anxiety, family, friends and mentors of sufferers and mental health professionals. A tremendous amount of research went into this site, as did thoughtful design and hours of custom coding. Every hour well worth it, as this site is now a powerful tool for AKFSA to spread awareness and educate on the severity and realness of social anxiety disorder.<\/p>\n<p>Highlights of the website include video clips and articles selected specifically for each audience group that are updated monthly, downloadable questionnaires for identifying symptoms and an ever-growing network of professionals and organizations with social anxiety knowledge.<\/p>\n<p>With a calendar full of upcoming events and an awareness campaign underway, our work is not nearly done; but we are so pleased and honored to have delivered a website which will serve as a strong home base for the foundation&#8217;s internet presence as they continue their extraordinary outreach and educational initiatives.<\/p>\n<p>Please learn more about social anxiety and AKFSA on their newly launched website, <a title=\"AKFSA\" href=\"http:\/\/www.akfsa.org\" target=\"_blank\">www.akfsa.org<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Had someone asked us this question a few months ago, we would have probably shrugged our shoulders.
