Website User Interface (UI)
Project details
What we need
Our website is currently hand-built in HTML, but the style sheets do not use Responsive Design programming.
We are looking for an amazing individual who can edit the existing HTML and CSS to create new templates that are mobile-optimized. We have some mobile-friendly schematics/ideas ready to build from, but don't have the in-house tools to make them a reality!
While a new website UI design is not necessarily part of this project, we are open to suggestions for refreshments/ refinements/ updates, as needed.
What we have in place
- Our current website already utilizes HTML5 and CSS, and the current webmaster (Joey) has a pretty good sense of technology, though not coding specific to Responsive Design. She'll get it when you start talking tech-speak.
How this will help
This project will save us $11,946 , allowing us to give free housing to over 90 families whose child is undergoing treatment for cancer or another life-threatening illness.
Our Google Analytics indicates an increasing number of mobile users - we're hovering around 50% right now, and want visitors to have the best experience possible, so they'll stay on our site and engage with the cause (through volunteering, donating, or evangelizing).

Our mission
Family House serves as a home away from home for families of children with cancer and other life-threatening illnesses by providing physical comfort and emotional support, free from financial concerns.
What we do
Founded in 1981, Family House is a 501(c) (3) not-for-profit organization providing temporary housing to families of seriously ill children receiving treatment at the University of California San Francisco Benioff Children's Hospital. Qualifying families live more than 50 miles from UCSF, and many live at or below the low-income status as determined by UCSF. Our two locations sustain nearly a 100% occupancy rate and can accommodate 107 people per night. Over the course of a year we serve more than 2,000 families.
As Family House looks to the future, we will continue to serve the pediatric patient population when UCSF Benioff Children's Hospital moves to the Mission Bay area of San Francisco. Family House has purchased a piece of land and will begin construction on a new 80 room facility. Plans are under way to ensure that families will receive the same care, comfort and compassionate housing completely free of charge while their child receives care at the new hospital.
