Nonprofit website redesign case study

Orbit Media helped Off the Street Club increase conversions by 15%

Off The Street Club, Chicago’s oldest boys and girls club, provides hope, play and casual joy for the children of Chicago. See how Orbit built a conversion-focused nonprofit website that better amplifies their message.

  • Inspire action from volunteers and donors
  • Refresh web design elements

The solution

  • Colorful, accessible and responsive design elements
  • An easy-to-update backend
  • Keyphrase research and search-optimized copy and site navigation
  • Resulting in a 15% increase in the donation key event rate!
