Race to 11

Having worked for nonprofits, I can say this: raising money is hard. But I also know good design can go a long ways towards making it happen. My friend Drea leaves for the World Race in August, where she’ll travel around the world assisting those in need. The World Race provides a decent webspace, but it’s not really geared towards driving visitors to the donation page. I sat down with Drea and put together a marketing strategy involving a simple website designed just for her that would maximze donor response and present her needs clearly and concisely. This is the result.This was a quick one. From concept to design to coding, this one was up and running in 5 days. Phew! To maximize our time and make sure we could get it going before I left for my own week summer camp with high schoolers, a few elements of the original design were lost, but overall I’m super proud of what we’ve done. It’s a simple site, easy to navigate, with all the important info and a strong call to action. Check it out: raceto11.com.

And if you care as much about non profit causes as I do, please consider donating!

Northwest Family Life

I’ve done a couple sites now for counseling practices; it’s refreshing to be able to provide high quality designs at a reasonable cost to an industry that frequently appears outdated on the internet. Building trust among potential clients is HUGE for these organizations; I’m glad I get to be a part of that. Check out Northwest Family Life live.

Business Cards for me!

Steve — Fri, 06 Mar 2009 23:39:07 +0000

The last week I’ve been busy building myself a consistent identity, which means a new business card design. Finally got something put together. I feel like the minimalism is a nice contrast to some of the grunginess my work often encompasses.
