About Nonprofit 💼
Partners in Education Roatan (PIER) is a nonprofit dedicated to empowering educators and improving learning outcomes across the island of Roatan. Their mission is to support teacher training, amplify local impact stories, and connect donors with meaningful giving opportunities.
We partnered with PIER to redesign their website on Zoho Sites, improving the donation experience, streamlining site maintenance, and enhancing storytelling to better connect with donors, board members, and volunteers. The redesign also supports PIER’s goal of creating a more polished, visually engaging platform that inspires confidence and encourages increased donations.
Project Objective 🌟
- Partners in Education – Roatan (PIER) needed a website redesign to better highlight teacher impact stories, represent the island’s culture, and simplify a cluttered donation process for donors.
- We created a storytelling-focused Zoho Sites platform with an improved Donorbox flow, intuitive navigation, ocean-inspired visuals, and detailed maintenance documentation so future volunteers can easily update and manage the site.
