Boy with a Ball is a non-profit youth and family organization working with people around the world to better their lives and change cities in a positive way. The issue was that their website was severely dated, lacking a professional presence, and not mobile friendly at all. We partnered together to produce a new, modern website that tells their stories and works across all platforms.
A fresh face and responsive design for a world-changing non-profit
“Our online presence went from an outdated site to a modern, professional piece of art. We couldn’t be happier with the end result.”
– Christine, Marketing Director
The Challenge
Boy with a Ball’s current website was dated and presented a host of issues for them. On top of that, they were in need of an online presence that truly told their story, which they didn’t have. That presented me with the challenge of creating a new website that was both user-intuitive, welcoming, mobile-responsive, as well as told their story and showcased what they truly want to accomplish worldwide.
Getting to work
What I found when I dove into this project was a non-profit that was truly about caring for other people. Pushing me to creatively showcase that in a unique, fun and professional way I began by developing a user-experience that I knew would connect with people. From the accent colors to the iconography, I wanted to capture that spirit and deliver it to the end-user in a super easy to experience way. I laid out the UX/UI for every path through the site and then went to work with my team to turn that user-interface into a seamless adventure for the user.
Being a Hero
Boy with a Ball’s primary tagline is Be a Hero; they use it to promote what they do, how they impact kids and adults worldwide, and where they stand on issues. But I wanted to turn that around and be a hero for them by delivering an online experience that they could truly stand behind and use to showcase that image worldwide.
