We’ve adjusted our process to foster close working relationships with our nonprofit clients. Our approach fuses together purpose, design, and functionality to make the process both intuitive and responsive to your unique needs.
All of our websites templates are responsive and mobile optimized. We create projects in WordPress, because we want nonprofits to have ownership over their sites and be empowered to make future edits themselves. As the most used CMS worldwide, WordPress is secure and robust. It is also Open Source software with zero licensing costs, which makes it fully customizable as well as more affordable for nonprofits.
Your project kicks off with a discovery and strategy phase where we learn about your site’s history, organizational stakeholders,
and resource offerings. Since your website will be many visitors’ first introduction to your organization, it determines whether users identify with you, trust you, and decide to take action. User experience (UX) methodology analyzes users’ motivations and behaviors to help them achieve their, and your, goals. Good UX increases the number of website visitors that convert into supporters and donors.
We’ll help you communicate your story effectively so you can advance your mission.
Work with our content strategist to align goals and organizational outcomes, analyze your audience’s needs, and define editorial guidelines; then receive a plan for allocating resources realistically and assigning staff responsibilities. If you need help writing website copy, blogs, or reports, our Senior and Junior writers can craft compelling content that spurs your audience to action.
In the design phase, your wireframes will be turned into full-color mock-ups designed with a mobile-first approach
We’ll first create or gather logo and branding assets and then combine them with your directives. Even if you don’t have a “graphic eye” or past experience, our design questionnaire makes it easy to identify a visual style that aligns with your organization.
Your website is first developed as a beta-version on a secure, private server.

We test your new site across standard browsers, on mobile devices, and for webform and payment integrations during Quality Assurance (QA). Once you give your approval, we upload to your server.
Before your website even launches, we begin training your team on the specific modules and plugins that are used for your site
You can move forward with confidence that no matter your previous experience, you will be able to make basic updates on your own. Our team is available to help with any trouble-shooting for 30 days post launch. If you do not have a web developer on your staff to handle regular maintenance, we offer sustainability plans that are flexible and affordable.
