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!
