Project details

What we need
  • A visual redo of the Organization's website
  • Design direction based on Organization's desired branding and style preferences
  • Mock-ups of key site pages
  • Commitment to 2 phone calls with a developer to guide initial front-end coding work
  • Note: We recommend this project for custom websites. If your site is built on a CMS platform like Wordpress or Squarespace that offers templates, you may not need this project. Check out our Website Content Plan project for help building a CMS-based website
Additional details

The OLC's website is ready to be refreshed. Currently, on the WordPress platform; this is where we would like to keep it. We want the site to better articulate the work we do and the impact we are creating in the community. We have the content and graphics we need someone to lay it out and aid us in ensuring our message is coming across clearly.

What we have in place
  • We have the content (theory of change, impact information) and the graphics for the site. We need for you to be able to do the layout and tell our story in a way that users will understand what we do.

    You might be a good fit if: you are familiar with literacy and education, a WordPress superstar (and/or are willing to teach yourself a new skill),
    You want to give back and make a difference in the lives of thousands of kids and families.
How this will help
This project will save us $9,186 , allowing us to continue to provide quality programming to our coalition members, community members, families, and youth.

A good and informative website is key in helping us to further our mission and achieve our ultimate goal of ensuring every Oakland child learns and loves to read. We want to ensure that users understand what we do and the impact we are making.
