Core Association
CORE Association is a charitable non-profit organization that supports adults with disabilities by providing resources, programs, and support to individuals and their families.
Challenge:
CORE Association is a charitable non-profit organization dedicated to supporting adults with disabilities by providing essential resources, programs, and support to individuals and their families. With a mission to empower and enrich the lives of those they serve, CORE Association has been a vital resource in the community. However, their outdated website was not effectively representing their brand or meeting the needs of their users, leading them to seek a comprehensive website overhaul.
CORE Association’s existing website was not only old and outdated but also plagued with technical issues. The organization was facing significant challenges with their previous web developer, who failed to provide adequate support, leading to persistent database and display problems. These issues hindered the website’s functionality, making it difficult for users to access vital information and for the organization to manage content effectively.
CORE Association needed a new, modern, and playful website that reflected their vibrant community spirit while providing up-to-date information about their services.
Approach:
To address these challenges, we developed a strategic approach focused on modern design, user experience, and long-term support. We started by redesigning the website with a fresh, modern look that reflected the lively and supportive nature of CORE Association. The design incorporated playful elements, vibrant colors, and user-friendly navigation to create an engaging experience for all visitors. We implemented a robust CMS that allowed CORE Association to easily update and manage their content. This included the ability to quickly post job openings, newsletters, and announcements, ensuring that the website remained current and informative.
We developed specific features to meet CORE Association’s needs:
- Job Application Area: A dedicated section was created for job seekers to view and apply for available positions directly through the website.
- Staff Portal: A secure, private portal was developed for staff members, allowing them to access internal information and resources easily.
- Volunteer and Donation Section: We designed an intuitive area where the public could quickly sign up to volunteer or make donations, supporting the organization’s ongoing efforts.
- News/Blog Feed: A dynamic blog feed was integrated to display the latest newsletters and announcements, keeping the community informed and engaged.
Understanding the importance of reliable support, we registered CORE Association in our ongoing management plan. This ensures that any technical issues are promptly addressed, and the website continues to operate smoothly.
Solution:
The new website for CORE Association was a significant transformation from its predecessor, successfully meeting the organization’s needs and enhancing its online presence. The modern, playful design resonated with their mission, creating a welcoming and accessible platform for users. The implementation of a user-friendly CMS empowered CORE Association to keep their content up-to-date, while the custom features catered specifically to their operational requirements.
The job application area streamlined the recruitment process, the staff portal improved internal communications, and the volunteer and donation section facilitated community involvement. The news/blog feed became a valuable tool for disseminating information, keeping the community informed about the organization’s activities.
With our ongoing support and management, CORE Association now has a reliable partner in maintaining their website, ensuring it remains a powerful tool for their mission. The project not only resolved the technical challenges they were facing but also positioned them for future growth and success in their community efforts.
We have been working with Partek over the last year with building and maintaining our new website. They have been great to work with especially during our new website build. They listened to what we wanted and guided us through the website build. They have been there for us as we have needed to update our website and they have supported us with this. I would strongly recommend them if you are wanting someone to build and maintain your website. Great customer service from the beginning!!!!
