Project details

What we need
  • Feedback on the current website’s layout, user functionality, mobile-friendliness, visual design, content, and other key features
  • Clear articulation of the Organization’s goals for the website
  • Recommendations for improvements to help achieve the Organization’s desired goals
  • Note: If you are looking for a more specific, in-depth audit of your website's design and usability, try our Website Usability Audit project
Additional details

Some of our pages are SEO optimized and doing extremely well. Others seem to not perform as well, and or seem clunky to use. We have completed a tightening up of the existing menu structure and our main pages, but could use advice on improvement. We are also using an older WordPress template and would like guidance on streamlining in preparation for a website overhaul.

What we have in place
  • We currently have access to our Wordpress, which should make it easy for you to get started. We also have Google Analytics, and the ability to provide any other information you need.
How this will help
This project will save us $2,752 , allowing us to not increase our marketing budget to a point it would interfere with programming for our kids.

Our website traffic is extremely important, and building a more efficient website will be a large component in expanding our reach. Our current website does well with traffic, but the user experience can improve by leaps and bounds. We are trying to determine if the solution is a new WordPress template, a complete site redesign, or updating our existing template to function better.
