“Cate transformed a traditional piece of sequential learning into a dynamic online experience.”
Client: Northern California Grantmakers, San Francisco
Challenges: Northern California Grantmakers was publishing an online toolkit of guidelines and checklists to help foundations prepare their facilities and grantmaking capabilities in case of a major emergency. NCG’s staff had compiled useful content, but the content needed adjustment to meet basic guidelines for website usability.
Dutchgirl’s solutions
To make the toolkit “web ready,” I provided these deliverables:
- Website outline with an easy-to-understand name for each page
- Homepage wireframe that designated space to describe the purpose of the toolkit and links to all of the key sections
- Edited content with edits focused on a few kinds of changes that would make the site easier to navigate and help to optimize it for searching
I also provided content guidelines to help NCG produce more consistent, user friendly, and searchable content while keeping budgets for future website updates to a minimum.
