The problem

Families needed a clear way to apply. Donors needed to see the work and give.

The approach
  1. Strategy

    A short path for families to apply, and program pages that spell out who qualifies and the steps to take.

  2. Design

    A warm design with success stories and photos of the homes and the people who live in them.

  3. Webflow / CMS

    Donation forms include recurring gifts. Email sign-ups and impact reports keep supporters posted. Pages are written for affordable housing and homeownership searches, and the build follows WCAG.

The result

The site earned 500 clicks from Google Search in 28 days. Organic traffic rose 35%. The SEO health score is 100%.
