Type: Non-Profit Organization / Mentoring Program

Location: Washington, District of Columbia (DC)

Company Background and Goals:

Best Kids, Inc., is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization that provides mentoring to foster care children in the District of Columbia's Abuse and Neglect System. Foster care children are the most at-risk population of children in America. Their goals for the site were:

  • Have a professional, high quality site that is representative of their organization and is attractive to prospective mentors and volunteers.
  • Have a dynamic website that would allow them to manage all of the critical aspects of the site themselves, including updating content, uploading photos of members and events, and managing a dynamic events calendar.
  • Be able to accept donations online via PayPal.

Katalyst Role:

For Best Kids™, we created their site, using their colors and logo to match their overall branding strategy. We tied thematically with their marketing collateral so that they had a consistent look and branding for all of their promotional materials. We implemented a content management system for them, so that they could upload images, manage their menus, and maintain their content.

Features:

  • Content Management System
  • Private Area for Mentors
  • Automatically Updating Sitemap
  • Online Donation Acceptance
  • Information Architecture
  • Website Design

Technologies:
