Project Description

Background

VFW (Veterans of Foreign Wars) Post 9934 is a nonprofit veterans’ organization based in Dana Point, California. Like a lot of nonprofits, their website had not been updated in a long time. They wanted a website that was visually appealing and allow users to easily find information. There were three major areas that they wanted to feature: Veterans Services, VFW Membership and Donations. Because the officers spend so much of their time on actual veterans’ affairs and fundraisers, they wanted a website that would allow them to easily maintain events, news, photos and content.

Our Solution

Kalalau decided to develop a WordPress site, which would allow them to update their website easily through the WordPress Administration. We designed a website that best represented their organization and location in beautiful Dana Point. We also designed the website to be responsive so that it would look good on any device…desktop, tablet and mobile. We created strong call-to-action buttons for the areas they wanted to focus on: Veterans Services, Membership and Donations.

Fully Responsive Website

Kalalau created a responsive website that will adjust the design and layout automatically depending on what device the visitor is using. No more zooming in to read the text or scrolling left and right to view content.
