Progressive Work: Comparison
For comparison, I will be comparing SOS to American Foundation for Suicide Prevention (AFSP), which is also a not-for-profit organization that prevents suicide through research, education and advocacy, and reaching out to help people with mental disorder and has an impact of suicide. There are lots of differences between SOS and AFSP, from the website, to the treatment of suicidal.
- Website layout
- SOS: the design is unique, creative and not much color is use. However, the layout is very complicated, including the direction as well.
- AFSP: even though the colors did not much with each other, however the layout, such as the banner or the navigation, is neatly design.

- Information
- SOS: it provides information like 24 hours hotline number, application form to be
volunteer, about suicide, their resources, services and the annually statistics.
- AFSP: about AFSP, about suicide, research grants, educational resources, suicide prevention projects, surviving suicide loss and announce in the news.
- Social tools
- SOS: the social tools will be the web sites.
- AFSP: websites, MySpace, Facebook, You Tube, Twitter and Flickr.
