“Visible Logic recommended we create a second, news-style web site and it was definitely
the right choice. The team at Visible Logic created infographics and designed a site to help
us highlight and share the unique expertise and experiences of our members. The project has
raised the visibility of our organization and our members. Also, our members now have highquality graphics and articles to use in their own marketing. Emily’s informative webinar on
content marketing provided advice to help our members use our new resources effectively.”
—Colleen Driscoll, Executive Director
International Association for Child Safety
The International Association for Child Safety (IAFCS) is a trade group for professional childproofers. The
IAFCS and its members specialize in educating families about home hazards, selecting safety products
and installing these products in homes. The IAFCS also certifies professional childproofers.
THE CHALLENGE
Demonstrate the expertise and professionalism of IAFCS members and improve the recognition of
professional childproofers with parents, caregivers and professionals such as doctors and others in the
community. Build trust with parents by providing information and tips on how to babyproof effectively
and safely.

THE SOLUTION
Create an e-zine style web site to share tips, articles and infographics about child proofing, and to
post IAFCS member profiles. Rather than build on top of their current web site that was focused on
membership, a second news-style web site was developed: ChildproofingExperts.com
The content is graphically rich with custom illustrations created by Visible Logic to support the
information that highlights their members’ expertise. The articles and infographics are highly shareable,
encouraging readers to post links on their own social media channels.
Brand Identity and Web Design
An overall visual identity was built for the brand to give the web site and all the infographics a cohesive
design. Visible Logic started the process by developing the ChildproofingExperts.com logo.
Editorial Calendar and Content Development
Working closely with the Executive Director of the IAFCS, Visible Logic developed an editorial calendar.
Content ideas were generated that would turn into infographics, long-form articles and member tips.
Visible Logic designed visuals­—including checklists, how-to graphics and tip sheets—to complement
articles which were an important part of the association’s goals for sharing members’ expertise. Visible
Logic interviewed IAFCS members to provide tips, be profiled in longer biographies and as experts
quoted in articles. All content was carefully reviewed by the IAFCS for accuracy.
Social Media Integration
The web site was developed using WordPress and set up so that as new content is published, it can be
shared automatically in social media. Readers are encouraged to share items in their own social media
streams as well as follow ChildproofingExperts.com using easy-access buttons. Infographics are easily
shareable with “pin this” buttons and cut-and-paste code for easy embedding on a web site or blog. In
addition, Visible Logic created the social media graphics for ChildproofingExperts.
Member Webinars
Emily Brackett, president of Visible Logic, gave two educational webinars to IAFCS members. The
webinars gave members, who are small business owners, practical advice for how to use the
ChildproofingExperts.com content in their own marketing to improve search, to share on social media
and to raise awareness for their business. Tips and tools were presented for members to learn how to
integrate graphics into social media, share articles with their own clients and help each other build the
visibility of all professional childproofers.
Training
The web site was built so that IAFCS can continue to add content easily on their own. Visible Logic
provided a detailed, customized user guide and phone-based training.
THE RESULTS
ChildproofingExperts.com holds a unique niche, sharing practical and extremely trustworthy information.
Creating a second web site, separate from their membership-driven corporate site allowed them to tailor
the content to their primary audience: parents and caregivers who are prospects for their members. The
professionally developed content—including articles, high-quality photographs and custom-designed
infographics—gives the organization and individual members credible and helpful information to share.
Individual members get recognition with their profiles.
