Template:Color are intended to provide a compact summary of a given website.
Can you sum up a website in 63 characters or less?

Summaries are important because they are likely the first thing a person will read on the page, and they also show up as the title tag when someone searches on AboutUs.org.

How to add a summary:
  • If a page/website doesn't have a summary yet you will see "Example.com is ...click here to sum up this website!" To add your summary of the website click that green (blue if you're not logged in) "sum up this website" link, enter your summary, and then click the "Save" button.
