Website Design

We are looking to partner with a skilled Taproot volunteer to help us redesign and elevate the ReSpawn Foundation website so it clearly communicates our mission, demonstrates our impact, and supports our national growth. As a new 501(c)(3) building hospital partnerships across the U.S., we need a website that is professional, accessible, and easy for clinicians, donors, and partners to navigate.

The project includes:

Redesigning our website structure and navigation for clarity and ease of use

Creating wireframes and page layouts for core pages (Home, Mission, Hospital Partnerships, Clinician Training, Research, Support Us)

Enhancing visual design to reflect our credibility and the excitement of adaptive gaming

Recommending and implementing accessibility best practices (WCAG-aligned)

Developing reusable templates for future content expansion

Advising on the integration of photos, patient stories, and videos to increase engagement

We anticipate meeting 2–5 hours per week with the volunteer and will collaboratively define weekly deliverables. Our team is prepared to provide rapid feedback, consolidated content, and clear decision-making pathways to ensure an efficient and rewarding collaboration.

ReSpawn Foundation’s mission is to make adaptive gaming a standard part of rehabilitation care through national hospital partnerships, clinician training, and research. Every week, we support people recovering from spinal cord injury, stroke, limb loss, and complex disabilities—individuals whose quality of life can be transformed through accessible play.

A strong website is essential to our mission because it enables us to:

Clearly explain adaptive gaming to hospitals and clinicians considering program adoption

Demonstrate credibility to funders who can expand access to adaptive equipment

Attract game studios, device makers, and rehab centers into our national alliance

Share powerful patient stories that show how gaming restores agency, identity, and joy during recovery

Provide clinicians with resources and training materials they can trust

A polished, accessible website will directly accelerate our ability to reach more hospitals, train more clinicians, and ultimately bring adaptive gaming to more patients.

This is an opportunity for a volunteer to make a tangible, national-level impact on disability inclusion, rehabilitation innovation, and patient quality of life.

Your work will help:

Bring adaptive gaming technology to more hospitals across the U.S.

Empower clinicians to integrate gaming into therapy in a safe, effective, and evidence-based way

Ensure patients with complex disabilities can reconnect with play, identity, and social connection during recovery

Strengthen partnerships across healthcare, gaming, and assistive technology

Volunteers will see their design work come to life immediately—shaping how hospitals, funders, and families understand the power of adaptive gaming. Your contribution will ripple outward through every clinician trained, every hospital onboarded, and every patient whose recovery is transformed through accessible play.

We have already made substantial internal preparations to ensure the volunteer has a strong foundation and a smooth project experience:

Full leadership alignment: Our founder, director of clinical training, and program team have aligned on messaging priorities and will participate in weekly check-ins.

Content readiness: We have gathered mission materials, hospital program descriptions, partner content, photos, and patient stories to support design work immediately.

Existing site audit: We have evaluated our current website and identified gaps in structure, navigation, accessibility, and branding—giving the volunteer a clear starting point.

Implementation plan: All new website assets will be used right away in hospital onboarding packets, donor outreach, national partnership development, and clinician training.

Decision-maker access: The volunteer will work directly with our founder, ensuring rapid approvals and feedback cycles.

Milestone-driven structure: We will co-create a timeline in week one with defined phases (discovery, wireframes, design, review, implementation).

By providing clear communication, timely feedback, and organized materials, we aim to make this a highly successful and enjoyable pro bono engagement.
