Website Design

We seek a web designer to create structure and design options for our nonprofit website. Our current site is hosted on WordPress and needs to be updated with what works for nonprofits today. The volunteer should assess and incorporate our goals and needs and consider our key audiences. The designer should also assess our technical capabilities. The project's deliverable is a draft of architecture and design concepts that we can easily share with a web developer volunteer or a member of our team who will use the guide to create our new site.

Our work will take place over multiple meetings in six to nine weeks. In our first meeting, the volunteer should interview us about our desired features, our web capabilities, and our technical expertise. Then, they'll synthesize the information into a requirements briefing. We'll engage in various check-ins, where a member or members of our team will provide feedback. The volunteer will audit our current site to create a draft of site architecture and design options including wireframes, site structure, and other visual elements.

Through working with a volunteer, SRW would like to modernize our website. We need to tell our story in a way that people are used to today. Our site is old and clunky and difficult to navigate. We miss out on this opportunity by not grabbing the users attention and compelling them to look deeper into our story.

This process is at the beginning of planning. Some of the information requested below needs to be flushed out a bit, we are a small organization. We have already thought about and are prepared to brief you about our current website platform, budget restrictions for the build, our branding collaterals and norms, and information about our stakeholder groups and target audiences. We've also compiled some photos and have some language developed that we will share with you and samples of sites we like.
