Case Study

A non-profit organization that equips students in under-resourced high schools with the skills, experiences, and connections that together create access to careers in technology.

Client: Code Nation

Web Development / SEO

2021

The Challenge

We first came across Code Nation through a volunteer service, and was drawn to the fact that the organization is dedicated to serving diverse communities in tech.  This really stood out to us, because the tech industry has been underrepresented in diverse communities and often ignored by traditional education.

The original description of the volunteer project was for minimal web design issues that could typically be solved with basic knowledge of WordPress and HTML/CSS. However, upon logging in to the Code Nation website, we discovered that the current theme being utilized was created using a proprietary web builder theme.  After further investigation it was discovered that the proprietary theme could not longer be updated because of the outdated theme. The volunteer hours of 5 hours a week for 4 weeks was simply not enough time to complete the project. Code Nation hired Vizionality for a web development overall.

The Solution

Code Nation programs are made possible by the volunteers, schools, company partners, supporters who give time, money, and resources to create opportunities for our students. The new web design focused on the user experience from more than one perspective. Clear messaging for all targets was a priority along with a stunning visual display that optimized the user experience. This project was not a complete redesign. The same color scheme, font, and images resembles the old website. But once we migrated the website onto a new WordPress theme, a new  and refreshed design started to to take place.

Teams and Leadership

Vizionality was able to design a custom teams page and create an immersers experience that is also simple to use.

Donations

No longer did the donation page link to a new window. The embedded donation feature allows donors to make a donor directly on the page on any desktop, tablet or mobile device.

The Delivery

The turn-around time for the Code Nation project was two months and everything was delivered on time. Afterward, Vizionality created personalized training guides for Code Nation so that staff and volunteers would be able to make changes to the website.
