Catholic Charities Archdiocese of New Orleans (CCANO) is a not-for-profit agency, made up of 30 programs and one affiliated ministry, which serves the poor and vulnerable population of our community, regardless of religion, race, color or economic status.
CCANO came to us in need of a new site with a refreshed design / layout and robust backend development to accommodate their vast amount of content. The former site was outdated, difficult to navigate and repetitive. The main objectives for the new site were determining the hierarchy of content, creating a professional, yet engaging design aesthetic, and incorporating strategic messaging to effectively convey CCANO’s mission and connect with the community they serve.
We worked with their team to develop a responsive website to facilitate their large number of programs and connect with their varying audiences, including engaged professional / potential donors, clients seeking assistance and current staff / donors. One of the most important components of the site development was the strategic organization and presentation of the many service areas and programs. Previously, projects shared the same page under common section headings; now each project is given its own page while preserving the existing hierarchies and inter-program relationships. Additionally, the site features translation into Spanish, French and Vietnamese thanks to the integration of Google Translate API. Multiple page layouts accommodate varying content requirements with custom back-end editable fields.
