Marin Promise Partnership
Marin Promise Partnership is a nonprofit collaborative that brings together schools, community organizations, government agencies, and families to close educational equity gaps in Marin County, California. By aligning efforts and sharing data, the partnership works to ensure that every child—regardless of race, ethnicity, zip code, or income—has access to the support and opportunities they need to succeed from cradle to career. Through a collective impact approach, Marin Promise Partnership helps partners coordinate strategies, track progress, and take action to improve outcomes for historically underserved students.
Marin Promise Partnership partnered with Vizionality to redevelop its website with a modern, user-friendly design that better reflects its mission to advance educational equity in Marin County. The new site improves navigation, accessibility, and content management, making it easier for educators, partners, and community members to engage with the organization’s work.
A key feature of the project was the development of custom data pages to showcase impact through case studies and educational equity statistics. These pages present complex information in a clear, visual format, helping stakeholders understand progress and outcomes while reinforcing the Partnership’s data-driven, collaborative approach.
OVERVIEW
- THE PROBLEM
USER EXPERIENCE, WORDPRESS AND DATA INTEGRATION
Marin Promise Partnership’s previous website was difficult to update and lacked the flexibility needed to support their growing library of over 150 pages of content, including case studies, resources, and program data. The absence of a clear sitemap made navigation confusing for users, while limited backend functionality made it time-consuming for staff to manage updates. Additionally, the site lacked integration with Airtable, which the team relied on for tracking key metrics—making it challenging to display real-time data across the site. A new, scalable website was needed to improve usability, streamline content management, and connect seamlessly with Airtable for dynamic, up-to-date reporting.

GOOGLE ANALYTICS, GOOGLE TAG MANANGER AND MARKETING DASHBOARD
To solve these challenges, Vizionality partnered with Marin Promise Partnership to design and develop a new website on a flexible WordPress platform, built for scalability and ease of use. We created a clear, intuitive sitemap to organize over 150 pages of content, making it easier for users to navigate and for staff to manage. Custom templates and reusable content blocks were developed using Elementor, allowing non-technical team members to easily update and maintain the site. Additionally, we integrated Airtable to dynamically pull and display real-time data, enabling the organization to showcase key metrics and impact in a more efficient and visually engaging way.
Marin Promise Partnership teamed up with Vizionality to redevelop its website with a focus on clarity, scalability, and ease of use. The previous site had become difficult to manage, with over 150 pages of content scattered across an outdated structure that made both navigation and updates challenging. The internal team often relied on technical support for even basic changes, which limited their ability to share timely updates, event information, and program outcomes. The new website was built on WordPress using Elementor, giving non-technical staff the tools to make updates independently while maintaining design consistency across the site.
A major component of the project was the creation of a clean, intuitive sitemap that organized the extensive content library into user-friendly pathways for educators, partners, and community stakeholders. Custom templates were developed to support consistent presentation of case studies, data, and partner stories, making it easier to scale content as the organization grows. I worked closely with Marin Promise Partnership’s Chief Technology Officer and Director of Communications to integrate Tableau charts directly into key pages, allowing for dynamic, visual representation of educational outcomes and equity metrics. In addition, we implemented multilingual support to improve accessibility for the diverse communities the organization serves.
To support their data-driven mission, we also integrated Airtable into the website, allowing real-time updates of key metrics and progress indicators without manual duplication of data. This streamlined the way impact stories and statistics were displayed across the site, improving transparency and reinforcing Marin Promise Partnership’s commitment to results-based collaboration. Combined with a refreshed design, language translation, Tableau integration, and backend improvements, the new website now serves as a powerful communication tool that supports both the organization’s internal workflows and its broader mission to close educational equity gaps.
