The Challenge
The United Daughters of the Confederacy (UDC) required a fresh website design to effectively showcase their mission, facilitate donations, and offer engaging educational content. Their previous Squarespace site was outdated and lacked the ability to manage content efficiently. The website needed to be mobile-optimized, feature a user-friendly donation system, integrate a membership portal, and enhance event registration for the UDC’s various programs, all while maintaining accessibility and security.
The Solution
TechArk redesigned the UDC website with a mobile-first approach, improving navigation and accessibility. We integrated a secure donation platform through DonorPerfect, allowing for easier contributions. A streamlined event registration system was added, along with a custom member dashboard where users can access educational materials and historical resources. The new site was built on WordPress, providing UDC with a robust CMS for ongoing content management. SEO was a key focus, ensuring that the site is discoverable by members and the public alike.
