Develop for Good Internal Project: Website Redesign to better enable user engagement and flow 💻

Check out the Case Study on Develop for Good’s recent internal website redesign project!

The goal was to redesign the website to better communicate relevant information to all of Develop for Good’s stakeholders (volunteers, mentors and nonprofits). Concurrently, we wanted to showcase Develop for Good’s two-pronged mission: to accelerate the digital transformation of the nonprofit sector while empowering the next generation of leaders to commit their skills for good.
