For community organizations

A home base for your community

Boards, committees, and volunteer crews need a website that more than one person can keep current. We build approachable sites with a teachable CMS, so the work doesn’t stall when the volunteer who "ran the website" moves on.

Boards, committees, and volunteer crews

Built for the whole group

No single point of failure
Multiple people can safely keep events, news, and pages current. When volunteers change, the site doesn’t.
Approachable for everyone
Clear fields, live preview, and training so non-technical members can contribute without anxiety.
A partner through transitions
We stick around across board terms and volunteer turnover to keep things running.

The situations we build for

Community websites rarely fail because of the design. They fail on a Tuesday when the one person who knew the login is no longer on the board.

We set the site up so it never lives in one person’s head or one person’s laptop. Several members can have their own access, the content sits in plain-language fields anyone can read, and the documentation belongs to the organization, not to whoever built it.

When that volunteer moves on, the next one opens the same screens and keeps going. No password hunt, no rebuild, no gap.

Valley Women's Weekend

Valley Women's Weekend needed more than a ticket link, so we built a booking system into the site. After checkout, each ticket gets its own appointment time, picked from a grid that shows the spots left, and the organizers print the booking schedule straight from the CMS.

Tickets, sponsors, email wording and an off-season switch all run from a CMS the organizers update themselves.
