Website Planning and Strategy
An effective website needs a plan.
Your website should be a valuable asset your organization, not just an IT expense. With a clear purpose and user-friendly structure, it can help you grow your audience, reach your goals, attract donors, and increase your impact.
We'll help you plan your website to be hub of all your marketing, development, and outreach efforts -- reducing stress, increasing effectiveness, and investing your budget wisely.
All our website projects begin with a discovery phase. During this process we review your current website, the needs of your organization, the needs of your visitors, and your ultimate goals. The purpose of this phase is to zoom in on WHY you need a website so we can develop a strategy and plan next steps.
Here's a little secret... We also offer this same website strategy and consulting as a stand-alone service.
Websites are expensive. Before you make that big investment, let's clarify your goals and make a plan, so your website is designed to help you solve problems and help more people.
