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

The website my organization currently has needs to be backed up and my main hope would be to create a backup site so I could change themes and rearrange information to present to my team w/o disruption to our main site. Also could use help finding our CSS

What we have in place
  • We currently have Wordpress site and Bluehost hosting, which should make it easy for you to get started. We also have backed up to our google drive & using UpDraft, and the ability to provide any other information you need.
How this will help
This project will save us $20,842 , allowing us to continue our work raising up farmers voices and help them be represented in our state legislature.

Our website hasn't fundamentally changed in over 9 years due to not being able to work directly with a web designer. This has made it difficult to make a mobile capable device which we need if we hope to grow as an organization.

Testimonials

Working with Sh?kai was an absolute joy and a valuable learning experience. His expertise was evident from day one and his commitment to professionalism was apparent. His ability to quickly adapt and learn our organization's goals and structure was incredible and allowed for an incredibly productive relationship. After on a few meetings and conversations Sh?kai was about to analyze our websites pain points and practical, thoughtful recommendations on how to amend this issues, even some outside the scope of this particular project. Our final deliverable was a fantastic, high fidelity prototype that my team and I were incredibly happy with, and will be a useful tool moving forward with or website's reorganization/redesign.

Website Audit Project

I had an incredible time working on a user research and website redesign project with the Illinois Stewardship Alliance! I worked primarily with Piero Taico, who wasted no time catching me up to speed on the Alliance's business goals, strategy, and design assets. He was extremely supportive through the whole design process. I also had the pleasure of working with a few board members who provide invaluable feedback on my designs. I would definitely recommend the Alliance to anyone who's looking to make an impact on local regenerative farming.
