Website Visual Design

Project details

What we need
  • A complete overhaul of your website’s current visual design (including customized theme) to match your existing UI.
  • Mock ups of key site pages, delivered as jpegs or pdfs.
  • This project will only be initiatied once the UI project is complete!
What we have in place
  • We currently have wire frames for the new site, and strong web & technology team which should make it easy for you to get started. We also have awesome projects to share, an understanding of web design, and the ability to provide any other information you need. We've done an evaluation of all our websites and have a plan for rebuilding our core site in a much clearer, more accessible way. We have a great new web dev in house to implement your wordpress design!
How this will help
This project will save us $9,186 , allowing us to provide pro-bono research and data support to 10 community organizations.

We don't often take the chance to tell our story and our website does a terrible job of communicating what we do. We have done some amazing projects, supported really important community efforts and made real changes in our social systems, but no-one really knows this!
We understand the value of a strong, clear visual design to help users find the information they want quickly and easily. We need to connect with our stakeholders better, this design project will support that goal which will build awareness of what we do and generate interest in our work.

Our mission

Work with partners to eliminate persistent poverty by building vibrant, healthy communities.

What we do

Urban Strategies Council has 26 years of experience addressing both the causes and consequences of poverty, and working across systems on the interlocking issues that must move in order to eliminate poverty, including education, income and asset development, community safety and justice, and building community capacity. Our approach always has been to work at both the levels of people and place to transform low-income neighborhoods into vibrant, healthy communities.
