Location: Washington, District of Columbia (DC)

Company Background and Goals:

Best Kids, Inc., is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization that provides mentoring to foster care children in the District of Columbia's Abuse and Neglect System. Foster care children are the most at-risk population of children in America. Their goals for the site were:

  • Have a professional, high quality site that is representative of their organization and is attractive to prospective mentors and volunteers.
  • Have a dynamic website that would allow them to manage all of the critical aspects of the site themselves, including updating content, uploading photos of members and events, and managing a dynamic events calendar.
  • Be able to accept donations online via PayPal.

Katalyst Role:

For Best Kids™, we created their site, using their colors and logo to match their overall branding strategy. We tied thematically with their marketing collateral so that they had a consistent look and branding for all of their promotional materials. We implemented a content management system for them, so that they could upload images, manage their menus, and maintain their content.

Features:

  • Content Management System
  • Private Area for Mentors
  • Automatically Updating Sitemap
  • Online Donation Acceptance
  • Information Architecture
  • Website Design

Technologies:

“We built a web site and after a year realized that our skills resided more in running our business than web development. The problem was that many aspects of our site that could be automated were not! Don Cranford and Katalyst came to our rescue. They built a extremely professional web site that has a high level of automation for our subscribers and for us! They listened to our preferences both in terms of design and in terms of functionality and delivered on our dreams.”
