Redesigned Website Increases Engagement Through Photography

Who

Friends Services Alliance

Organization Type

Nonprofits

About

Friends Center City is a nonprofit dedicated to enriching the lives of older people in the Philadelphia area who choose to age in the city rather than moving to a suburban retirement community.

Solutions

Web Design

Technology

Drupal

Scenario

Friends Center City needed to upgrade Drupal as their version was coming to the end of life and wouldn’t be supported anymore. They knew an upgrade would prevent vulnerabilities and would require a redesign of their website.

Solution

BackOffice Thinking evaluated the website and created a new design with photography as the core feature, to highlight the vitality and active nature of the organization. In thinking through navigation, clear avenues for potential members, potential residents, existing members, volunteers, and content advocates were created. The redesigned website more strongly conveys the organization’s active and independent living member community, which has increased engagement.
