Project Overview
We seek a web designer to create structure and design options for our nonprofit website, currently hosted on Ecwid by Lightspeed.
The volunteer should review our current web presence, 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 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.We currently have an informational website and an e-commerce site, but they do not share a theme and are difficult to access from each other. At this time, our retail store is generating traffic, but the e-commerce site has the potential to generate additional interest and traffic. Additionally, the e-commerce site has the potential to generate additional training opportunities for the people who work and learn at New Again, which furthers the mission of the organization.We have already thought about and are prepared to brief you about our concerns with our current website platform 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.
