Client website · Nonprofit
A nonprofit website built to tell a story.
Urban Ministries of Wake County serves people affected by poverty with food, shelter, and health programs. We rebuilt its website so the people it serves, its volunteers, and its donors can each find what they came for.
The challenge
A hard-to-update site for serious work.
Urban Ministries of Wake County was struggling with a website that was difficult to update, and it wanted one that reflected the seriousness of its outreach and mission.
The site speaks to three groups at once: the people the organization serves, current and future volunteers, and potential donors. Reaching each of them clearly was the measure of success for the project.
What we built
Clear paths to help, and to helping.
For donors and volunteers
There to tell a story.
A content approach that centers real client and volunteer stories, so program pages read as accounts of people rather than lists of services.
For every visitor
Designed for everyone.
A responsive, mobile-first experience that works on any device, for visitors of any age, ability, or comfort with technology.
How it went
Trust early, and room to design.
We earned the organization's trust early in the project and were given a lot of creative freedom. The result is a site we are especially proud of visually, and one of founder Andrew Byrd's favorite projects to have worked on.
- Why clarity matters here. When someone is facing hunger, homelessness, or a health crisis, finding food, shelter, and care quickly matters more than anything else on the page.
- Support after launch. The project included a break-in period after launch at no extra cost.
This is the kind of project our custom websites practice takes on for nonprofits across the Triangle.
In their words
