About Aspire Education ✏️

Aspire Education is a Bay Area nonprofit dedicated to providing high-quality tutoring and mentorship to students, with a focus on underserved communities. Since 2005, Aspire has supported over 22,000 students through one-on-one tutoring, custom academic programming, and its Community Reading Buddies initiative, working to close opportunity gaps and advance educational equity.

Project Objective 🎯

The objective of our project was to redesign Aspire Education’s website to be user-friendly, engaging, and up-to-date; clearly communicate its mission, services, and impact; and guide 4 key audiences toward meaningful engagement while remaining easy for staff to update and maintain. We achieved this by developing a streamlined site map optimized for user flows and navigation, redesigning and fully implementing 14 core pages, and cleaning and optimizing Aspire’s backend for easier long-term content management.
