Website Refresh (Divi)

Esperanza is seeking a skilled volunteer to help refresh and modernize our website, which is currently built on the Divi template. We want to update the design to better reflect our mission and engage our community. Additionally, we need the volunteer to develop easy-to-use templates and provide training to our marketing team so they can confidently maintain and update the site independently after the project.

To avoid scope creep, this volunteer will make discreet, quick updates to our UI/UX. Then, you can recommend larger-scale design or structural changes. We will move these forward with another resource (potentially a separate pro bono consultant).

Esperanza’s mission is to empower individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) to reach their fullest potential through education, enrichment, and support services. A refreshed, easy-to-manage website will help us better showcase our programs, share the voices of those we serve, and engage families, partners, and supporters more effectively. We’re also preparing to launch a major capital campaign in early 2026, and an updated website will be a critical tool in communicating that vision and inspiring support. By giving our team the tools to keep the site current and dynamic, this project will directly strengthen our ability to connect with the community, recruit staff and volunteers, and raise critical funding. The volunteer’s time and talents will help amplify our impact at a pivotal moment in our growth.

To set this project up for success, our marketing and development team is in place and ready to begin mid-September, following our annual gala. We’ve secured internal buy-in and full access to our current website, which is built on the Divi template. The team will work closely with the volunteer throughout the project and is committed to fully implementing the refreshed design and training for long-term sustainability. The project will also have the full support of our CEO, who has experience as both a Taproot volunteer and recipient. Taproot previously assisted us with a successful Salesforce implementation in 2022, and we’re excited to build on that positive experience.
