What Our Client Say:
OLA of Eastern Long Island needed a website that was able to grow with our non profit organization. We decided to move forward with Carolina and her team specifically because of the unique and comprehensive process she described. We needed this deep dive into the DNA of our organization to be sure that all stakeholders and our mission were being considered fully.
This process that included functionality, design, and core mission was an incredible way for our leadership team to collaborate with Carolina. We felt completely understood as a dynamic community-serving organization that offers critical advocacy and support to a vibrant and culturally rich community.
The launch of the Website along with the rebranding of the logo was one of the best decisions we have made. We aim for empowerment, protection, and celebration via clarity and access. Our website finally was able to match that commitment with ease of navigation, two languages, strong SEO, and a functional flow that is pleasing to navigate while not requiring unnecessary clicks.
This was a game changer for us that was instrumental in doubling our client and donor base within the first year of launch.
