Identifying Core Challenges in the Non-Profit Digital Engagement Platform

The organization’s existing website suffers from outdated backend technology, poor content navigation, non-responsive design for mobile users, complex editorial controls, and accessibility issues. These challenges hinder user engagement, reduce visibility of educational and programmatic content, and complicate content management for administrators.

  • Achieve ADA compliance to ensure accessibility for all users.
  • Increase user engagement metrics such as session duration, page views, program applications, and donations.
  • Enhance backend operability for content administrators through improved CMS features.
  • Secure the platform with timely upgrades and migration to supported technologies.
  • Drive increased traffic, program enrollment, and donor engagement through improved UX/UI and SEO strategies.
