, a truly inspiring non-profit organization, we embraced the chance to apply our web development prowess to a mission of profound compassion.
Building a website for ForEverly Changed was more than just a project; it was a privilege. Their missionโproviding compassionate infant funeral assistance and support to families in West Texas who have experienced the devastating loss of a baby, particularly after NICU careโdemanded a website that was not only functional but also deeply empathetic, clear, and easy to navigate during an incredibly difficult time for their visitors.
Understanding a Heartfelt Mission
Our first step, as with any client, was to deeply understand ForEverly Changed’s core mission and the unique needs of their audience. We learned about “Everly’s Story,” the heartbreaking yet inspiring origin of the organization, and how crucial it was for the website to convey this narrative with dignity and sensitivity. We knew the site needed to serve as a beacon of hope, a source of vital information, and a platform for community involvement โ all while being incredibly user-friendly for families in distress.
Crafting a Compassionate Online Experience
Our three-step process, typically used for contractors, was adapted to meet this unique challenge:
- Giving Us the Details (and the Heart): We conducted in-depth discussions with the ForEverly Changed team. This wasn’t just about technical specifications; it was about understanding the emotional journey of their visitors. They provided insights into the types of support families seek, the resources they need, and the different ways the community wants to get involved (donations, volunteering, wedding dress collections). This foundational understanding shaped every design decision.
- Getting to Work (with Empathy and Precision): Our team meticulously designed a website that balances professionalism with profound empathy.
- Gentle Aesthetic: The visual design employs soft colors, clean layouts, and calming imagery to create a soothing environment, avoiding anything that might add to a visitor’s distress.
- Intuitive Navigation: We prioritized clear and simple navigation. Families seeking assistance or looking to donate can find the information they need quickly, without unnecessary clicks or confusion. Key sections like “How to Apply,” “Donate,” “Get Involved,” and “Resources” are prominently featured.
- Storytelling with Impact: “Everly’s Story” is beautifully integrated, serving as the heart of the “About Us” section and connecting visitors directly to the genesis of the mission.
- Seamless Functionality: We implemented secure and straightforward donation portals, clear forms for family requests, and easy ways to inquire about volunteering or donating wedding dresses. Every technical element was chosen to facilitate the organization’s work and support its community.
- Website Goes Live (A New Chapter of Support): After meticulous testing and final touches, the ForEverly Changed website went live. It now stands as a powerful digital extension of their compassionate work, reaching families in need across West Texas and enabling broader community support.
