Upleaf’s designs websites around the desired user experience.  First and foremost we analyze your audience and online objectives, and explore questions such as:

  • What type of experience should we create for your audience?
  • What information would you like them to come away with?
  • How can we ensure that they will quickly find what they need on your site?
  • How can we keep visitors engaged with your organization?
  • What action should people take as they visit your site?

We start the website design process with an online strategy meeting with our clients to review online objectives, target audiences, core messages and calls to action.  Then we craft a site map with the new site’s information layout that includes fixed content, dynamic content sections, calls to action, interactivity, and other required functionality.

We build the site around our clients’ logo, values, and online strengths such as video, photos, testimonies, or action alerts. Where appropriate, we integrate the site with relevant social media platforms and other features to ensure that it has the necessary functionality and look and feel.

For typical nonprofit website needs, we use a content management system platform to optimize usability for both the nonprofit organization and the visitor.

Upleaf also helps organizations develop new content and edit existing content following best practices in writing for the web.  This helps move the process forward more quickly, as many nonprofits simply don’t have the time available to commit to developing new content for an entire web site.

Our websites include a variety of different features depending on our clients’ needs.  Features from some of the websites we’ve created include:

  • Dynamic polls
  • Searchable databases
