Real solutions for the real world.
An Engaging Website to Match Your Mission
Working together, we’ll discover ways that your website can help you better achieve your mission online. Instead of being limited by rigid templates, your website will be designed and built to mirror the amazing work you’re doing in your community, inspire supporters to get involved, and provide clear pathways to take actions like signing up, joining, registering for an event, or making a donation.
Powerful Forms for Supporter Action
Providing opportunities for your supporters to take action and engage further with your mission is critical. We provide a powerful form builder to provide clear pathways for your suppoters to take action without leaving your website. Information submitted can be integrated with your payment processor, mass email system, constituent relationship management, and more.
Integrate Your Trusted Services
Have a donation, payment, event, or other online platform that you know, trust, and love? You don’t have to end that relationship if you don’t want to when launching your new website. Together, we can figure out what to keep and what to replace in a way that matches up with your goals for your website and your business processes. For those you keep, they’ll be integrated into your website as seamlessly as possible.
Save Time with Process Automation
There’s no reason to be copying data from one system to another, either one record at a time or through exports and imports. Today, most systems can speak to one another through application programming interfaces (APIs). Combined with automation tools to process and format the data as needed, your data processes can be automated saving you time and worry so you can focus on data usage rather than data entry.
Take Control of Your In-Person and Virtual Events
Your website can provide an end-to-end in-person and virtual event experience for your supporters, including an event calendar, dynamic registration forms, multi-attendee customizable registrations, payment integration, virtual meeting and webinar registration, attendee reminders, and so much more.
Easily Manage Your Content via a Self-serve System
It’s your website. You should be in the driver’s seat if you want to be. You’ll have the ability to add, update, and delete content on your website without submitting a support ticket. Prior to the launch of your website, you can receive training on how to administer your website. Of course, you’ll have the option of trusting me to make content updates as well, but it’s not a requirement to work with me.
