Award-winning websites for Sagetree clients

We at Sagetree think our projects are award-worthy, of course. Several months ago we submitted a few of our client’s sites to be considered. We guide and create alongside some very powerful brands that are behind noble causes. To us, submitting for this great honor was a no-brainer.

Four of our client partners won!

Childcare San Diego’s mission is to connect parents with affordable childcare programs to allow parents to work. Led by the YMCA, the program also offered subsidized child care. Parents were experiencing challenges when visiting their old website because the design was dated and had too much text, creating a confusing user experience.  As a result, parents had difficulty signing up for assistance.

Sagetree provided guidance in clarifying their core messaging, redesigning their website, and connecting it to their parent database. As a result, parents enjoy a much friendlier user experience on the website and having an easier time applying for childcare assistance.

Gaston and Gaston needed connect with small businesses to serve their many legal needs. The Sagetree team helped them optimize their messaging through a process called “story branding”. We often use this method to help our clients with being more effective in connecting with their own customers. With clear messaging, this drove development of new branding and a new website allowing them to share their expertise with the world.

A once-in-a-lifetime educational opportunity arose to partner with Falklands Maritime Heritage Trust. Sunken and lost for over 100 years, Sir Ernest Shackleton’s ship, the Endurance, was somewhere at the bottom of the Antarctic sea. Sagetree designed and built a website to help educators with this important journey and to share the excitement of finding this lost ship with classrooms across the world.

Toys for Joy is the Rock Church’s largest annual event to donate toys to disadvantaged children for Christmas. For the 25th anniversary of the event, they decided to invest in their online presence to drive more donors to contribute in a fun way.

With their goal in mind, Sagetree created an interactive experience that allowed for transparency in the client’s progress to their goal when receiving donations. The site is also very playful, featuring animated children and gifts making the user’s experience fun.

As a result of their new website that encompasses the joy of giving as well as an enjoyable user experience, Toys for Joy is making progress to their stated donation goal and impacting the lives of the children, and families, they touch.
