Targeted Website Design Updates (WordPress)

We are looking to collaborate with a skilled volunteer to redesign the user experience and visual structure of our website. Our site is currently built on WordPress, but over time, the navigation and layout have become less intuitive and harder for users to engage with.

The primary goal of this project is to improve clarity, accessibility, and overall user flow across key pages. The volunteer would help us:

- Evaluate the current website’s user experience and identify areas for improvement
- Redesign key pages such as the homepage, program pages, and event listings
- Improve navigation and information hierarchy
- Reformat content layouts to enhance readability and engagement

Given the time-bound nature of the engagement (2–5 hours per week), we are focused on strategic redesign recommendations and a small set of high-impact page mockups, rather than a full site overhaul.

For reference, our website: www.classicalmusicchicago.org

Our organization is dedicated to presenting free, accessible arts programming and supporting artists through public engagement. Our website is a key touchpoint for audiences to discover events, learn about artists, and participate in our programming.

Improving our website’s user experience will:

- Make it easier for audiences to find and attend free concerts and programs
- Increase engagement with our programming and expand our reach to new audiences
- Better represent the artists we support through clearer and more compelling presentation
- Strengthen accessibility for a broad and diverse public audience

By helping us redesign our website, the volunteer will directly contribute to making arts programming more accessible, visible, and impactful within the community.

We are well-prepared to support this project and make the most of a volunteer’s time. Our team has:

- Clearly identified priority pages that would benefit most from redesign (homepage, program/event pages)
- Gathered existing website content, branding materials, and examples of past marketing assets

We will provide the volunteer with:
- Access to the current website and relevant materials
- Clear goals, timelines, and feedback throughout the process
- Reference examples of design directions we are interested in
