Description:
The National Kissing Bug Alliance, a 501(c)3 non-profit organization based in Newberry, FL, approached me to design and launch their very first website. The goal was to create a user-friendly, visually appealing online presence that would reflect the mission of the organization, facilitate donations, and ensure accessibility for all users.
The National Kissing Bug Alliance, a 501(c)3 non-profit organization based in Newberry, FL, approached me to design and launch their very first website. The goal was to create a user-friendly, visually appealing online presence that would reflect the mission of the organization, facilitate donations, and ensure accessibility for all users.
Starting from scratch, I developed a dynamic website using the WordPress content management system, tailoring the design to align with the organization’s goals and stakeholder input. The site includes essential features such as a donation platform, information about the Alliance’s work, and resources for individuals seeking to learn more about the kissing bug and its impact.
Beyond the initial build, I provided ongoing support by monitoring the site monthly for updates and improvements. Using tools like Google Analytics and Google Business, I ensured that the website remained functional, compliant, and optimized for search engines.
Creative Approach:
The design centers on the Alliance’s mission, using warm, natural tones and clean layouts to create an inviting yet professional platform. Custom graphics and accessible navigation were implemented to enhance the user experience while ADA compliance tools were integrated to ensure inclusivity.
