Are you trying to truncate text according to the space available? This is something you just cannot do in the back-end. That’s the truth – unless you are really crazy and have plenty of spare time. But even approaching text truncation in the front-end is not something achievable by writing a couple of simple CSS lines.

Making year-end giving easy
In recent weeks, we were very happy to lend UX and coding expertise to New York University in order to streamline the design of their online “Give Now” form.
Year-end donations are a big part of any University’s annual fund-raising campaign. In order to maximize NYU’s push for last-minute 2014 gifts, we worked closely with the school’s Development and Alumni Relations group to pare-down and simplify their online donations form, making it easy for alumni and others to give targeted gifts to the fund of their preference.
We are always happy to help our clients make things easier!
