Project Overview

We seek a web designer to help manage and improve our existing nonprofit website, hosted on Webflow.com, which supports our mission of advocating for seniors suffering mistreatment: neglect, abuse and fraud. The volunteer will assist in updating and enhancing the site by adding new pages, refining the design, and ensuring a user-friendly experience for our key audiences, including seniors, caregivers, and families. The prepared designs will be shared with our web developer for implementation.

Project Outline:
- The project will take place over multiple meetings, spanning six to nine weeks.
- The volunteer will help add new pages, manage program-specific updates, and make design improvements to better meet the needs of senior users.
- In the first meeting, the volunteer will discuss our desired features, technical expertise, and web capabilities.
- We prefer that the new pages be designed in Figma (or a similar design tool), as this will make it easier to collaborate, share feedback, and seamlessly hand off the design concepts to our web developer for implementation.
- The goal is to maintain and optimize the website’s structure and design for functionality and ease of use.

Out-of-scope activities:
-Ongoing web support
-Implementing designs
-Drafting website messaging
