A.N.A.’s Friends: A Hub of Inspiration for Child Advocacy 2023 WEBWISH GRANT WINNERS
A.N.A.’s Friends serves Abused Neglected and Abandoned children in Southwest Florida. Formerly known as the Guardian ad Litem Foundation – 20th Judicial Circuit, A.N.A.’s Friends works tirelessly to provide these vulnerable young individuals with the support, care, guidance and resources they need to overcome adversity and build brighter futures.Challenges
The A.N.A.’s Friends organization had a building passion but lacked a digital presence to reflect the heart of their mission. They needed to build awareness, create a supportive community, and effectively share the stories of bravery and resilience that often go untold.
The Solution: Crafting a Compassionate Narrative
We dived into crafting a narrative that was not just about A.N.A.’s Friends but embedded stories of strength, and hope within the site.
The Outcome: A Digital Home for the Heart
A.N.A.’s Friends saw an immediate uptick in engagement from their supporters and wider online audience. Their new site's visual appeal, seamless navigation, and compelling content began the story of a digital home that's as warm and comforting as the support they offer in the real world.
Path to College: Guiding Low-Income Students Towards Education
Transitioning into the education sphere, Path to College Foundation was on a mission to guide and support low-income students in the college application process. Their previous website was a barrier to their mission – outdated, unresponsive, and uninviting to the demographic they aimed to serve.
Challenges
The Path to College Foundation needed a site that was a beacon of possibility for their students. It had to be a space where young minds could explore their potential and find the practical resources needed to turn their dreams into tangible goals.
The Solution: Co-Creating a Space for Aspirations
Our team worked hand in hand with students and educators, ensuring the final website would be an interactive platform that felt both aspirational and accessible. Implementing Squarespace's Student asset feature, we highlighted the successes of those who have walked the path before, spelling out the steps to higher education.
The Outcome: An Educational Oasis
The new Path to College website has become a sought-after resource for low-income students. With personalized content for different stages of the college preparation process, a stream of testimonials, and clear calls to action, hundreds have used it as a springboard to a brighter future.
Pawmise Rescue Quatar: Uniting Animal Lovers to Save Lives
Our third story takes us into the animal welfare sphere, where Pawmise Rescue Quatar faced the monumental task of uniting a nation of animal lovers to support their life-saving initiatives. Their previous site, hosted on a platform ill-equipped for their growth, was limiting their outreach.
Challenges
To tackle the rising number of abandoned animals and the scarcity of support, Pawmise Rescue Quatar needed to build a community that could mobilize at a moment's notice, using a platform that allowed for the agility and responsiveness required in emergency situations.
The Solution: A Community-Focused Digital Environment
Switching to Squarespace, we developed an interactive live feed, showcasing animals in need of adoption and emergency rescue. This feature kept their audience engaged and informed in real-time, facilitating quick action and community involvement.
The Outcome: A Surge in Support
The new Pawmise website not only streamlined the adoption process but also increased donations, volunteer applications, and adoptions by over 90%. The responsive design ensured the growing community could access the site on any device, perpetually growing the network of those willing to help.
Just World International: Building a Global Network for Horse Welfare
Moving from local success to an international reach, Just World International aimed to build a digital network for horse welfare across the globe. Their previous website was a hodgepodge of information that lacked the cohesive power to represent their unified, global mission.
Challenges
The organization needed a multilingual, user-friendly site that could coordinate projects, galvanize support, and report back on successes. A streamlined, integrated design that reflected their brand's message and ethos was crucial for success.
The Solution: Bridging Language and Culture with Design
Aesthetic and language were key in creating a common digital home for a global cause. With Squarespace's multilingual functionality, we developed a site with a seamless user experience, tailored to the nuances of different regions.
The Outcome: Global Engagement and Efficiencies
The revamped website brought a surge of international volunteers, supporters, and partnerships. Operation synchronization and project management tools embedded in the Squarespace site streamlined their global efforts, saving time and resources which could now be directly invested in their welfare projects.
