Web Designer to Modernize Nonprofit Website
Skills Required
Description
Bringing a fresh, modern aesthetic to an existing nonprofit website is the goal for this project. The current site serves its purpose but lacks visual impact, intuitive navigation, and a strong user experience. The organization works closely with underserved communities and needs a site that communicates trust, clarity, and mission-driven energy. This redesign should help visitors quickly understand the purpose, get involved, and access resources. A mobile-first approach is essential, as many users visit from phones or tablets. Accessibility and SEO best practices must also be incorporated from the ground up, ensuring the site performs well and reaches the widest possible audience.
The ideal designer is someone who can balance visual design with real-world functionality. Collaborating with content writers, developers, and internal nonprofit stakeholders will be part of the process, so communication and flexibility are key. The design system should be organized in Figma or a similar tool, with clear responsiveness guidelines. Familiarity with WordPress and Shopify integration is helpful, as some sections of the site use third-party services for donations and merchandise. The outcome should be a clean, mission-driven website that feels modern without losing the warmth and sincerity that defines the nonprofit’s identity.
