WordPress Website Redesign

We seek a web designer to create structure and design options for our nonprofit website, with a focus on accessibility and ease of use, both for the public accessing info on our site, and for our staff to use on the back end to update pages, post events, share blogs, etc.. Our website is currently managed via WordPress and our domain is hosted by GoDaddy, but we are open to changing both/either of these things. The volunteer should assess and incorporate our goals and needs and consider our key audiences. The designer should also assess our technical capabilities. The project's deliverable is a draft of architecture and design concepts that we can easily share with a web developer volunteer or a member of our team who will use the guide to create our new site.

Our work will take place over multiple meetings in six to nine weeks. In our first meeting, the volunteer should interview us about our desired features, our web capabilities, and our technical expertise. Then, they'll synthesize the information into a requirements briefing. We'll engage in various check-ins, where a member or members of our team will provide feedback. The volunteer will audit our current site to create a draft of site architecture and design options including wireframes, site structure, and other visual elements.

By working on this project with us, a volunteer will be making a major positive impact on the LGBTQ+ community in our small, rural state. In the current climate it is more important than ever that our organization's services, resources, and educational materials are accessible and easy to find and navigate. Our community needs us more than ever right now, which means we need your help more than ever.

We have already thought about and are prepared to brief you about our current website platform, budget restrictions for the build, our branding collaterals and norms, and information about our stakeholder groups and target audiences. We've also compiled some photos and have some language developed that we will share with you and samples of sites we like.
