A habitat for Habitat
July 13th, 2008 | Posted by Michael ZimanHere’s a news-worthy construction job. Valley of the Sun Habitat for Humanity, long esteemed for its humanitarian efforts in building houses for low-income familes, was sagging in donations and volunteers because of a run-down website and confusing donation form. Habitat wanted a site that could promote its message of hope to everyone in a striking and inviting way, attracting new donors with a simple, attractive design Our interactive team provided Habitat with a new place to call home.
We effectively produced an extreme makeover, with a new homepage and easily-navigable “mini-sites” for volunteers, donators, and homeowners. Visitors can access the Habitat donation page from anywhere on the site thanks to the bright orange “Donate Online” button on each page, and the three-part donation process means no more confusion for would-be contributors.
We also built interactive components into the site, including a Google map of both of Habitat’s Valley ReStore locations and a calendar of events and home dedications. The newly streamlined enewsletter is a way for Habitat to keep the community informed, and a new photo gallery documents the hard work of Habitat’s volunteers during a home build. The Habitat for Humanity website was a real fixer-upper, but in the hands of the Park&Co team, it’s turned into a place to be proud of.
