Project Overview
We have an established website but no professional web/visual design or UI/UX services. We have been struggling with a visual design that can solve our problem, and templates just can't do it. We have established content; much of it may or may not be useful; multiple languages; new content we can't seem to get in and out fast enough; integration with things like donations, program platforms, etc. We need an overhaul and can't scope the full project given all the possible use cases.
Our mission has changed after 100 years, and we need a fresh look and smart ways to present and manage our content. Our old website is at https://www.polish.org, and the draft of the new one is at https://new4.polish.org.
We have embarked on our 101st year of service and have completely revamped and expanded our mission. In particular, the addition of major services to Ukrainian war refugees and Venezuelan migrants demands that we are thoughtful in how we communicate the complexity of holding our historical role and ensuring we are clear that our mission is now focused on serving those in the most distressed situations now.
Because these individuals can best learn how to access our help from their home countries or while they are migrating, it is vital we have the professional skills available to us so our web redesign is effective for all stakeholders in the complex ecosystem.
The draft of the new website created by our IT department is now available at https://new4.polish.org. Once it has a fresh new look, it will be published at https://www.polish.org, replacing our existing website.
