Project Overview

Having a working website is crucial to optimizing community engagement and successfully marketing a nonprofit. Having a attractive and intuitive website can increase the profile of an organization, its mission and impact on the community as well as serve as a recruitment and development tool. During this project, a web designer defines and delivers a draft architecture and design options that not only meets the nonprofit’s needs but is also easy to maintain. The site’s design will be informed by research into communication goals, the needs of the nonprofit, and the key audience. From here the web designer creates a design that meets those needs and is built to match the technical capabilities of the nonprofit and can be used by a web developer to create a live site.

What activities will be completed as part of the project:
Analysis of the nonprofit’s desired features and website capabilities, as well as their ability to maintain the site.
Research to populate a Requirements Brief with enough information to inform the creation of the site.
Content Audit, Content Outline, and Content Delivery Plan.
Creation of draft architecture and design options (wireframes, site structure, and visual elements) that incorporates the nonprofit’s existing visual identity (logo), key messages, and other copy.

What activities won’t be completed as part of the project:
Build out and development of the website
Marketing and band strategy
Social media strategyThis project is a priority for Dream Keepers at this time because we are at a stage where we would like to bring awareness to our services and operate more efficiently. With a proper running website, we could direct more traffic there to sign up for programs, services, and support. Another great benefit of having a website that is well thought out and designed will engage more support from donors and sponsors which will help Dream Keepers achieve our organizational goals and further our Mission. This project will be a great investment for a skilled volunteer because their efforts and time would help us to better serve and impact the youth and women in our communities. We all need each other! Currently, we have a website that needs to be updated and we could use some professional direction on how to get our mission out there as well as gain support from donors and volunteers. I have all of the information and documents for the website. We have a logo and some branding in place. Our targeted audience is all women and girls from teens to Middle age. I believe the site uses Wordpress. I have spent lots of money on getting the website started but I have struggled with gaining the advice and expertise needed to fully produce a website that represents our Organization in the way it should. I love to do the work in the field and help serve my community but the marketing and design component is an area I struggle with. Once this project is complete I will use it to build out a website that our Organization can confidently direct donors, volunteers, and community members to.

Description of what the deliverable will include and look like:
Discover Deliverable: A requirements brief that includes a summary of findings from the discovery process and a set of prioritized recommendations for the design of a website.
Design Deliverable: Construction of site architecture (Sitemap, Wireframes, and other elements of information design) and develop concepts that inform the look-and-feel, graphics, and other design elements of the site.
