The Chicago Family Health Center (CFHC) seeks a web designer to create an online and interactive version of our annual report, which will be hosted on our nonprofit website. CFHC's website is hosted on the WP Engine platform. The volunteer should assess and incorporate our goals and needs and consider our key audiences. The designer should also assess our technical capabilities. The project's deliverable is an online draft of our annual report that we can easily share with a web developer volunteer or a member of our team who will use the guide to create our online annual report.

Our work will take place over multiple meetings in six to nine weeks. In our first meeting, the volunteer should interview us about our desired features, our web capabilities, and our technical expertise. Then, they'll synthesize the information into a requirements briefing. We'll engage in various check-ins, where a member or members of our team will provide feedback. The volunteer will create a draft of site architecture and design options for the online report, potentially including wireframes, site structure, and/or other visual elements.

The annual report is an important way for a non-profit to share the year’s accomplishments with current and potential donors. It is a vital public relations tool where the nonprofit can be presented in an appealing and positive manner. Traditionally, it has been published as a printed booklet. This practice has increasingly been replaced by posting it online, with the most compelling online annual reports featuring interactive graphics, along with the ability to download a PDF of the report. CFHC has never offered an online version before, and with your help, we can create a compelling and dynamic online annual report that will be engaging and potentially result in increased donations.

We have already thought about and are prepared to brief you about our current website platform, budget restrictions for the build, our branding collaterals and norms, and information about our stakeholder groups and target audiences. We've also compiled some photos and have some language developed that we will share with you and samples of online annual reports that we like.
