We specialize in branding and website design for Nonprofits, community builders and socially driven organizations.
Our mission is to help Nonprofits realize that their website is more than a place to unload all their organization jargon and instead think of it as the tool by which they buy people's time, talent and treasure.
With decades of experience working with nonprofits, we understand your unique challenges. Our tailored web design solutions attract donors, encourage volunteers, and deliver services to those in need. We've partnered with organizations like LISC Chicago, Descendants.org, Urban Alchemy, The Family Institute, the Chicago Loop Alliance, Women Employed, Housing Forward, and BUILD Chicago to amplify their impact.

- Clearly Define Your Needs: Communicate your project requirements and goals to ensure alignment from the start.

- Set Clear Budget Expectations: Be transparent about your budget to ensure proposals are realistic and within your means.
- Set Clear Schedule Expectations: Outline your timeline and deadlines to keep the project on track.
- Define the Decision-Making Process: Explain how decisions will be made to streamline the selection process. This will build trust.
- Allow Ample Response Time: Provide a reasonable timeframe for responses to ensure thorough and thoughtful proposals.
- Engage with Interested Partners: Be open to discussions with potential partners to gauge fit and expertise.
Do you have any tips for our RFP Process?
Boy, howdy!
Ideally we would throw that in the trash and just start discovery, but we understand you need to have a basis for comparison to make a well informed decision.
If you are doing an RFP here are some thoughts:
Will I own my Nonprofit website once it's finished?
Absolutely!
Everything in the finished site is owned by you, or licensed to you. If you ever decide to move your site elsewhere, we'll gladly assist in making the transition smooth and seamless.
