WordPress Website Update To Better Reflect Brand and Mission

We’re seeking a skilled volunteer to help us elevate our current WordPress website into something more modern, creative, and dynamic. Our organization, Our Story Is, is deeply rooted in community, and we want our website to reflect the energy and innovation behind what we do.

We’re not starting from scratch. Our website is live and functional, but we’re ready for it to evolve. Specifically, we’d love help with:
    •    Updating the overall design to feel more current and visually appealing
    •    Improving user experience and navigation with a more intuitive layout
    •    Enhancing SEO so we’re more discoverable to those who need us and those who want to support us
    •    Adding new tabs and sections that showcase our programs and impact
    •    Embedding more visuals and media to create a storytelling-driven experience
    •    Bringing a creative, professional touch to the site that aligns with our mission

We’d love to collaborate with a volunteer who understands how to balance clean design with community-driven storytelling. Our hope is that when someone visits our site, they feel what we stand for, equity, dignity, and access for all.

We’re excited to work with someone who’s passionate about purpose-driven design and can bring fresh ideas to the table!

Help Us Bring Our Story to Life — Online

Imagine a website that doesn’t just inform, it inspires. That’s what we’re building, and we’d love for you to be part of it!

At Our Story Is, we believe everyone deserves access to the highest quality organic food, not as a luxury, but as a standard. Through our free farmers markets, growing guides, and seasonal produce programs, we’re curating spaces that nourish both body and spirit. Our work is vibrant, bold, and filled with purpose, and we want our website to reflect that.

We’ve already laid the foundation. Our current WordPress site is live and functional, but we’re ready for the next chapter. We’re looking for a creative, thoughtful designer who can help us:
    •    Refresh the layout with a modern, user-friendly design
    •    Add visuals, media, and interactive elements to showcase our impact
    •    Expand the site with new tabs and content
    •    Improve SEO so more people can find us and get involved

You won’t be doing this alone, we have images, copy, ideas, and a clear vision. We’re communicators, and we’re here to make this a smooth, collaborative experience. Most importantly, this isn’t just a website update, it’s a step toward helping more families grow their own food, eat well, and feel connected.

We’re fully prepared to make this a smooth, collaborative, and meaningful pro bono experience. Our team understands the value of your time and skills, and we’ve already taken key steps to ensure this partnership is productive and enjoyable from the start.
    •    We’ve gained internal buy-in: Everyone on our team is aligned on the website goals and ready to support the process.
    •    We’ve gathered materials: We already have high-quality images, refined verbiage, and a clear vision for what we want the site to communicate.
    •    We’re communicators: You won’t be left waiting. We’re easy to reach, quick to respond, and committed to open, respectful communication throughout the project.
    •    We have a strong foundation: The current site is live and fully functional. It provides a solid starting point, and we’re open to creative suggestions for improving it.
    •    We’re familiar with WordPress and basic SEO: We built the current site ourselves, so we’re not starting from zero. We’ll be able to speak your language, make small updates if needed, and maintain the site once your work is done.
    •    We’ll put your work into action: This isn’t a “just-for-show” update. Your contributions will immediately help us attract new partners, secure funding, and expand our reach to the people who need us most.

We’re genuinely excited to collaborate, and we’re here to make this a successful and fulfilling project for both sides.
