Meet the Team
At our core, we’re information professionals who tirelessly dream up ways to make nonprofit websites better — then figure out how to do it in a high-quality, cost-effective way. We believe our success comes from looking beyond the nonprofit world for inspiration. We geek out on good web design, and admittedly, we’re usability snobs. The details matter to us.
We have decades of combined experience in visual design for the web and print, branding, information organization, user experience research, CMS development (especially Drupal), accessibility, and agile project management.

Working With Us
We love our clients, and we like to think that working with us is fun, easy, and highly productive. We’re a small team of seasoned experts who work directly with you and your stakeholders to deliver the best products we can. We wanted to share a little bit about our working processes so you get a sense of what it’s like to partner with us.
- We’re fully remote and use videoconferencing, screencasting, chat, and cloud project management tools to collaborate with clients anywhere.
- We strive for full transparency with our project management tools and development environments so that you and your stakeholders can always see up-to-the-minute progress as we design and build your product.
- We meet at least weekly with clients, usually over Zoom, during active project phases to check in, discuss work, review priorities, and so forth.
- We like to employ agile project management processes to deliver maximum value at every phase in the project and allow us to easily pivot if priorities ever change. We shape our work into two-week sprints.
