Overview

Safe Shores is “a direct service nonprofit organization dedicated to supporting and working directly with child victims of sexual and physical abuse in the District of Columbia.” The organization plays an important part in the lives of children and families in DC and needed a website that reflected who they are and how they work.

Delivering the right tone

The previous website, built in Adobe Muse, prevented Safe Shores from delivering essential information to the community while also creating a hindrance for donors and supporters. Thanks to discovery and content strategy meetings that involved the entire staff, we were able to help create a voice and tone on the website that was welcoming without being childish, and informative without being overwhelming.

Shared understanding

The “What to Expect” area of the website is the result of those strategy sessions. We want to help the community better understand what to expect when they have an appointment at Safe Shores, so we presented it in a straight-forward manner.

“[Rocketkoi] didn’t just overhaul our website but they took the time to build relationships with staff and understand our work in a meaningful way, which resulted in an excellent final product. With the perfect set of complementary skills for this work, Sarah and Mal are so smart and creative and possess that rare ability to make complex things easy to understand for non-techies.”
