When a passionate nonprofit with a mission to protect endangered wildlife needed a digital presence to match their bigger-than-life goals, they turned to me. And honestly, how could I say no? Enter Joy’s Wildlife Foundation, a cause so inspiring it demanded more than just your standard “pretty website.” They needed a platform that would spark real change—and drive those oh-so-crucial donations.

The challenge
Joy’s Wildlife Foundation had heart, soul, and a powerful story to tell—but zero online infrastructure. Without an official website, reaching a global audience and converting visitors into donors was nearly impossible. They needed a platform that captured the essence of their work, guided supporters toward meaningful action, and ranked well in search results from day one.
The mission: Craft a standout website from scratch—one that roars with wildlife imagery, stands up to the demands of ongoing fundraising, and positions Joy’s Wildlife Foundation as a credible, impactful force in conservation.

The solution
Armed with a blank slate and big dreams, I channeled my design prowess, coding expertise, and SEO savvy to bring Joy’s vision to life.
From Scratch to Stunning
No templates here: we designed a fresh, modern look that speaks to nature-lovers and conservation advocates alike. Every element—from color palette to layout—reflects the Foundation’s commitment to wildlife.
Custom Donation Form
I built a robust donation system that allows supporters to choose once-off or monthly contributions. No Frankenstein of third-party plugins—just a streamlined, secure form that ensures every rand, dollar, or euro goes exactly where it’s needed.
On-Page SEO
Launching a new site with zero domain authority is tough, but I optimized key pages with targeted keywords, crafted compelling meta descriptions, and ensured clean site structure. The goal? Let the search engines know exactly what Joy’s is about—wildlife conservation and unwavering dedication.
User-Centric Experience
Vibrant wildlife visuals, intuitive navigation, and clear calls-to-action guide visitors toward the donation page (or volunteer opportunities). Mobile responsiveness is baked in, so whether on phone or desktop, supporters can engage easily.
Security & Scalability
Nonprofit data is sacred, so I locked down the backend with robust security measures. Plus, the site can handle future expansions—from new project pages to integrated fundraising campaigns—without skipping a beat.

The Outcome
The result? A digital sanctuary that does more than just look pretty. From the moment Joy’s site launched, they saw a boost in organic traffic—thanks to the SEO enhancements—and a marked increase in successful donations. Importantly, monthly contributions rose significantly, securing the long-term funds they need for ongoing conservation projects.
Even better, visitors now get an immediate sense of Joy’s mission through engaging storytelling, dynamic visuals, and straightforward navigation. Whether someone’s ready to donate monthly or simply learn more about protecting endangered species, the pathway is clear—and compelling.
