Website Design

We seek a web designer to create structure and design options for our nonprofit website. The volunteer should assess and incorporate our goals and needs and consider our key audiences. The designer should also assess our technical capabilities. The project's deliverable is a draft of architecture and design concepts that we can easily share with a web developer volunteer or a member of our team who will use the guide to create our new site.

Our work will take place over multiple meetings in six to nine weeks. In our first meeting, the volunteer should interview us about our desired features, our web capabilities, and our technical expertise. Then, they'll synthesize the information into a requirements briefing. We'll engage in various check-ins, where a member or members of our team will provide feedback. The volunteer will audit our current site to create a draft of site architecture and design options including wireframes, site structure, and other visual elements.

The website will promote and market our lucky girl pads initiative that combats period poverty in Uganda through a comprehensive three-pronged approach: first, by locally producing and distributing affordable, high-quality, eco-friendly disposable sanitary pads through sustainable channels including school stores, canteens, and community outlets to ensure consistent accessibility in low-income communities; second, by conducting menstrual health education sessions that engage girls, boys, teachers, and parents/caregivers to break stigma and build confidence for effective menstrual health management; and third, by creating employment opportunities for women in production and distribution, promoting environmental responsibility, and fostering gender equality and economic independence, thereby addressing not only the immediate need for menstrual products but also the broader social, educational, and economic barriers that perpetuate period poverty.

We have already thought about and are prepared to brief you about our current website platform, budget restrictions for the build, our branding collaterals and norms, and information about our stakeholder groups and target audiences. We've also compiled some photos and have some language developed that we will share with you and samples of sites we like.
