NETWORK Lobby and the NETWORK Education Program do important work but had a web presence that was outdated in style and functionality. The site needed a redesign and since it was  a collection of static HTML pages that were managed via FTP, it was a prime opportunity to also update the way the site was managed. We worked with a team to determine which content types would be necessary and to develop a new site structure. After wireframes were approved, we redesigned and refreshed the site with a custom dual theme including a color scheme that was more vibrant and brought out more strongly a sense of life and hope to complement the work that they are doing.

We helped integrate the site with CapWiz (for their lobbying actions and e-news blasts) and Groundspring (their donation processor of choice). The main site is built in Drupal so that NETWORK staff can update the site more easily and share the administrative load among multiple editors, and so that the site will be better structured for Search Engine Optimization. After the administrative training session we led, they have taken control of the site and manage the day-to-day addition and editing of all content.

Testimonial
"We have been extremely pleased with CEDC’s contributions to our website redesign. Their professionalism and expertise were invaluable throughout the process, and the final design has drawn very favorable comments from all who have seen it. Just as valuable, their openness to our opinions and patient instructions as we learned the new system made our collaboration highly satisfactory. And to top it all off, as a nonprofit with limited resources we deeply appreciated CEDC’s own nonprofit status, which enabled them to do the work at very reasonable rates. We would – and will – recommend CEDC to anyone needing help in this area. Thank you!"
