1

Custom design & build

Designed around the client's content and customers rather than a template, and built on WordPress so their own staff can edit every page.

2

Online donations

One-time and recurring gifts with receipts sent automatically, and a donor list the office can actually use.

3

Events calendar

A calendar the client updates themselves; upcoming events surface on the home page automatically.

4

Newsletter

Sign-up, list management and sending live inside the site, styled to match, with no third-party subscription.

Smart forms

Contact, request and application forms that route to the right inbox, keep a copy in the site and stop spam before it lands.

Managed hosting

Hosted on our Alaska-managed servers: daily backups, malware scanning, updates and a real person to call.

The story

The brief

Dandelion Friends supports families through a network of volunteers. The site takes one-time and monthly gifts, publishes the events calendar, signs volunteers up and sends the newsletter — everything a small board needs without a stack of separate subscriptions.

What we did

A Juneau volunteer nonprofit.
