Raleigh Rescue Mission
Relationship: 2007 — Present
Raleigh Rescue Mission is a Christian, interdenominational nonprofit, that has worked since 1959 to shelter the homeless and disadvantaged population in the community. In addition to shelter, the organization offers a variety of services to assist in the recovery of individuals as well as families.
Before the re-design, the organization had a static HTML website which was proving inefficient both for cost and time needed to keep the site current. The organization also had defined goals they were seeking in a new design, such as an increase in donations for the charity, raising volunteerism, raising its status as an informational resource for homelessness and poverty, and making the site maintainable by the staff.
Re-launched in September 2009, the new website received high praise from supporters at the Mission. The site has been updated with an attractive design, now including prominent call-to-action buttons for volunteering and donations, which address the organization’s primary goal. The Mission’s website received a Drupal content management system to ensure the site remains current and easily maintainable. Pages of new, dynamic content consist of thorough information on Raleigh Rescue as well as homelessness, poverty, and links to their newsletter.
“I think the new site is excellent and according to the feedback we’ve received since the launch of the site, so do many others! The new site is not only aesthetically pleasing with a modern design, but has the functionality we desired to help engage people in our ministry.”
