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

This website audit is for Speakout's project SURJ (Showing Up for Racial Justice) located at www.surjbayarea.org

What we have in place
  • We have a member, a designer, who is prioritizing this project and readily available to work on it.

    This project site (www.surjbayarea.org) is currently hosted on Weebly. We are open to migrating platforms to a more capable CMS like Wordpress.
How this will help
This project will save us $4,762 , allowing us to allocate more resources to our POC-led partner organizations leading the movement for racial justice.

The mission of SURJ is to build a movement of white people to act in support of racial justice by following the guidance of our POC-led partner organizations leading this work.
Over the past year our website traffic and membership have been fairly static.
This audit will help us grow the movement for racial justice.
