Helping a Philanthropic Foundation to Tell Its Story

One recent project we were proud to be a part of was helping the Draper Richards Kaplan Foundation (DRK), a global venture philanthropy firm, to design and development a more effective website.  The foundation supports early stage, high impact social enterprises that are working on some of society’s most difficult problems with the goal of making the world a better place.   

The task for the team at Project6 was to help DRK expand their reach and unequivocally communicate the foundation’s powerful mission of supporting individuals who wish to change the world.  Before we came on board, their website was only designed for desktops, and was difficult to navigate in some areas.  However, most importantly it did not highlight the incredible stories of entrepreneurs and organizations that had benefited from the foundation. The old website also under-utilized DRK’s fantastic photography assets. 

Working together with the foundation members, we helped to develop a site that matched the tone of the inspiring work and was also easy to manage.  The project included designing a longer page scrolling experience across the site to showcase the various organizations as well as breaking news.  Our team developed a simplified and streamlined architecture that created a single, unified portfolio section that allows visitors to browse through the people and organizations associated with the foundation.  Another area we developed was the “community section” where alumni and entrepreneurs offer encouragement and share newsworthy events and resources.   

Built on the WordPress platform, the new website is easy for the DRK staff to maintain and grow.  In addition the site works seamlessly across all devices and is now reachable to a wider audience.  Please visit our website to learn more about the DRK project as well as many of our other projects we successfully completed.

Create Effective Print Materials with Help from the Experts

At Project6 Design we help our clients communicate their brand’s story through services that include logo development, graphic design, web design and development as well as print materials.  Traditional print materials are still a great way to speak directly to your audience, and our experienced team can help you update or create marketing collateral, annual reports, corporate brochures, book designs or conference materials.   

Promotional material is especially important if you are in marketing and sales as your print collateral says a lot about your business, which is why you want to be sure to say all the right things.  Professionally designed print materials such as leave-behind and direct mail pieces can be used to broaden your base and expand your reach as well as to help you reinforce your digital message.   Also if you want to leave a lasting impression at your next trade show, it is important to have a visually appealing booth that not only reflects your brand but communicates key messages.   

Another aspect of a strong corporate identity is to have consistency throughout your communications and that includes your stationery systems.  The Project6 team will help you redesign a new look that reinforces your brand and helps to build strong customer relationships.  To ensure you get the highest quality products, all of our printing is done using state-of-the-art technology and equipment. 

Project6’s job is to help your company develop long-term solutions that communicate your message and to strengthen your existing brand or to completely redesign a new one.  We encourage you to visit our website to see some of the examples of the work we have done for other clients.  Our experience includes working with both large and small companies in a variety of sectors such as high-tech, retail, educational, and non-profit organizations.  Contact us to see how we can help.

Providing a Library with An Organized, Attractive Website

Project6 Design was recently tasked with the job of helping the Belvedere Tiburon Library and the Belvedere Tiburon Library Foundation to establish websites that were visually appealing, functional and easy-to-use.  Our team worked with the library’s team to create a strong brand identity as well as a completely redesigned website.   

The problem with the library’s original website was it lacked organization, consistency and clarity and had pages filled with lots of confusing section designs, logos and other graphic elements.  Our job involved organizing the library’s extensive resource materials and information to make the site easy for users to navigate and quickly find what they need.  In addition the library staff wanted the site to not only be aesthetically pleasing, but simple to update and maintain.  Once you visit the Belvedere Tiburon Library site, we are sure you will agree we accomplished our task.    

One of the first things we did was to collaborate with the library team to establish a new brand mark, color palette and stationery system.  The newly designed individual logos for the library and the foundation are distinct, bright, and clean. 

The Project6 team created two separate websites for the library and foundation; however, they share the same design templates, color palette and content management system.  This ensures both of the systems are easy to manage while offering a distinct online presence for visitors as each site has its own URL, logo and architecture.  

We encourage you to visit the Belvedere Tiburon Library and the Belvedere Tiburon Foundation sites to see firsthand our expert web design and development services.  Contact us for assistance in building a strong brand, redesigning or creating a website, or producing effective print materials that convey your message.
