Website Design

We seek a web designer to tweak an already existing website structure and design options for our nonprofit website (hosted on Wix).

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. We are seeking a volunteer through Taproot Foundation who can help us:

Redesign our current Wix website structure and layout
Improve user experience and navigation
Refine visual hierarchy and brand consistency
Optimize donor pathways and call-to-action placement
Strengthen credibility and professional presentation
Ensure mobile responsiveness and clarity
Experience with Wix is strongly preferred.

Amazing House of Hope is a Texas-based 501(c)(3) nonprofit serving young adults with autism who struggle with emotional dysregulation and severe behavioral challenges, and the exhausted, overwhelmed parents who love them fiercely. This nonprofit is taking on a huge profit for a population that is at high risk for injury, lengthy hospitalizations, incarceration and potentially death simply because they are misunderstood. I am very passionate about this project because I 'm living this experience right now and trying desperately to do something to help my own young adult as well as many other families that live with the same fears..
This project will require a massive amount of money but our website does not reflect the seriousness of this mission for donors or grant funders to willingly give without pause. We need help fast!

We are building something that does not yet exist in our region:
A future residential treatment center with integrated vocational programming, alongside immediate family support services that provide guidance, tools, and hope. But right now, our website does not reflect the magnitude of this mission. And that’s where we could really use your help.

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.
