Partnering with great organizations since 1999
Helping Non-profits and cause based organizatios with their websites for over 20 years.
At Lowthian Design Works we have a unique model that works for the non-profit without a big budget, but with creative ideas for their website. These clients have the ideas, maybe from their own creativity, or from what they have seen on other websites, but don’t have the understanding of the technology to build a website. We help take those ideas and make them a reality for their own site, then take care of all the management to free up the organizations time to continue creating content for their website. Our goal is to show that maintaining a site should be a fun, dynamic part of an organization’s marketing, not a challenge.
We have been working on customizing websites since 1999, and in 2006 we started migrating all of our sites to WordPress and Joomla. We have worked in various e-commerce platforms, however now we offer complete support as a partner with the Bigcommerce platform. We not only help with websites, but assist with related technologies such as analytics, email campaigns, social media and other marketing ideas.
Our Methodology
Together we can look at your current site if you have one, analyze your visitors and what they are looking for and then come up with ways to make the site become what your visitors are looking for. We focus on guiding your visitors to the information they are looking for without distraction or confusion. The internet is a fast moving place and if your visitors are not finding what they need you may loose them to something else.
We will look at things such as:
- Navigation – can people quickly find what they are looking for.
- Responsiveness- does your site look good across all devices. Does it provide as great an experience on a phone or tablet as it does on a computer screen.
- Mechanics – does the site have all the forms, donations capabilities and other components to meet your organization’s needs.
- Speed – is the site loading fast both for your visitors and to improve your Search Engine Optimization.
- Anything else that would improve your visitor’s experience and ability to support your organization.
We will also encourage you to get input from others, perhaps your board, your clients, supporters or customers to see how they feel about your current site.
Our maintenance package includes:
- Daily site backups. Contact us anytime you need a restoration.
- Storage of backups for up to 1 year.
- Updates of all plugins and platform
- Firewall and other security to protect your site from attack
- 24/7 montitoring of site uptime.
This frees you up to develop the content on your site, while we remain available any time you need support with adding content or additional training to make sure you are comfortable making updates.
