OVERVIEW

Client introduction

Seattle Works is an online network for volunteer and leadership opportunities. By engaing volunteers at all ages and from all professions, Seattle Works fulfills its mission to connect volunteers, develop leaders and build communities.

Current experience

The website is one of the major channel for people to find volunteer and leadership opportunities and events. However, the current website has some issues that make it difficult to convey a clear message of what the organization serves to do. Some major issues were:

Lack of content hierarchy
Confusing registration flow for events
Outdated visual design

SOLUTION

Scope

After identifying their mission statement and goals, I rebranded their website by designing a cohesive visual system to help the organization to apply a clear and modern style across platforms.

As a demonstration of “mobile first” design principle, I especially redesigned the responsive mobile web for volunteer events searching and registration, aiming to help visitor find the opportunities to their interests and make the registration flow more smooth.

Logo design

After exploring 3 concepts, I decided to choose #1 because of the visual harmony with the heart and hands, as well as the resonating symbolism behind the elements.
