Website Audit

We're seeking a website expert to give us feedback on our current website layouts, user-friendliness, mobile readiness, content, and general look and feel. You'll present our team with your recommendations for improvements to help us maximize our sites to support our goals.

There are three websites that we need to review and integrate into a streamlined system that can easily be updated and upkept. One is our organizational website, hosted on Squarespace. The second is a project overview site that is hosted on Wix, and the third is a coalition partner website that is hosted on WordPress.

We'll start with a briefing session where our team will share our goals and tell you about our target audiences and what we hope to achieve through our website. We'll collaborate to define our next steps and set a timeline. Next time we meet, you'll provide us with some of your initial insights and high-level feedback. We'll have additional feedback for you as well. When your analysis is complete, you'll deliver a short presentation to our team with your recommendations and give us a document of your recommended tactics and updates.

Our ideal volunteer can spend fifteen to twenty hours over four weeks reviewing our website. They have experience in web design, marketing, and UXUI.

This project will NOT include:
-Website development/coding
-Development of a content marketing strategy

The Toronto Alliance to End Homelessness is a collective impact organization that advocates for the needs of over 100 housing and homelessness service organizations to urge government and community leaders to make the significant changes that are needed to not just address homelessness in our communities, but to end it. Through our work in collaborative community with the Toronto Mental Health and Supportive Housing Network, we provide public education, policy recommendations, system improvement needs evaluations, and opportunities for enhanced investments into the nonprofit housing sector to ensure that everyone in Toronto can have a home that meets their needs.

Our organizations work tirelessly to deliver strong advocacy tools across the sector, and an improved, accessible, and user-friendly and informative websites will support not just the growth of the housing advocacy movement, but the ability for community members to better understand the needs and barriers that people experiencing homelessness have so that we can urge stronger, more supportive, and more accepting neighbours in areas where supportive and deeply affordable housing are most needed.

A skilled volunteer would not only be able to learn more about the critical work that is done towards ending homelessness through this project, but will be able to provide expert advice on how the critical and life-saving work of housing and homelessness advocates can be best presented to people who want to learn more, and who want to join the fight for housing justice.

In preparation, leadership from across the housing and homelessness sector have provided input into what the ultimate goals of a website presence are, and we can provide details about our target audience and how we would measure success. We will provide the back-end of our website and any analytics that may support your work. We have two dedicated members of our team who will support you throughout the project, as well as a large team of subject matter experts that can ask any questions you might have as you move through the website recommendations.
