Website Audit
Project details
What we need
- Feedback on the current website’s layout, user functionality, mobile-friendliness, visual design, content, and other key features
- Clear articulation of the Organization’s goals for the website
- Recommendations for improvements to help achieve the Organization’s desired goals
- Note: If you are looking for a more specific, in-depth audit of your website's design and usability, try our Website Usability Audit project
Additional details
We want to narrow down which pages are essential and which can be condensed or removed.
We'd love ideas for how to make our site simple and easy to use for all users - whether experienced or less fluent with technology.
Our Website: https://www.iskashitaa.org/
What we have in place
- We currently have a website on squarespace, which should make it easy for you to get started. We also have a team member who updates our website, and the ability to provide any other information you need.
How this will help
This project will save us $4,762 , allowing us to continue reducing food waste in Tucson and integrating UN refugees into the Southern Arizona community.
By helping us audit our website, we can narrow its focus and creating a more intuitive design. With feedback from Catchafire professionals, we hope to make navigating our variety of services easier for less-experienced tech users. We envision our website to be the central hub of our community; a place where members can get all their information, sign up for events, view our online shop, join our email list, read our blogs and support our programs.

Our mission
Iskashitaa Refugee Network creates opportunities to integrate UN refugees into the Southern Arizona community while educating the public, strengthening the local food system, reducing local food waste, and increasing food security.
What we do
Iskashitaa Refugee Network (IRN) is an inter-generational network of Tucson volunteers and UN refugees from Africa, Asia and the Middle East, who locate, harvest, and re-distribute locally grown fruits and vegetables which would otherwise go to waste. IRN's goal is to empower recently arrived refugees by connecting them with a wide variety of resources and opportunities to interact with the community. Through gleaning activities, refugees are introduced to local farms, hydroponic and aquaponics operations, farmer's markets and other community festivities as well as backyard and community gardens. IRN teaches community members about sustainable food systems and fruit tree identification, harvesting techniques and seeks to increase food security and improve self-sufficiency among refugee households and other families in need. Refugees from ~30 ethnic groups learn the geography of Tucson, gain valuable life skills, improve their English, develop a US work history and access to healthy foods and food preservation techniques.
Iskashitaa operates the only year-round gleaning program in Southern Arizona and educates on the multiple uses of traditional and nontraditional, native and non-native fruits, nuts, pods, seeds, and even flowers. Harvests include over 20 types of citrus and an additional 50 of food products from trees, herbs, and cacti.
IRN builds bridges in the community toward increased cultural competency and diversity awareness. All of Iskashitaa's community relations have the underlying goal of increasing awareness and action for pressing human rights issues both locally and globally through direct contact with individuals and organizations in the Tucson community and beyond.
