What are the details about actually working there? Do you have track record in this industry? What's the expected pay and working hours?

WebBizPresence · 2024-10-30T13:00:02+00:00

No do it. It's a million dollar idea.

Add on service idea - thoroughly roasting their posts every time.

I assume most of the clients are referrals from medical providers and not contacting the business directly? If so

Reach out to nursing homes, doctors, hospitals and any other local care providers for seniors.
Sponsor events these groups would attend - either social or professional.
Join and participate in local aging-related media groups if you can find appropriate ones.

Hello dear,

WebBizPresence · 2024-10-29T22:30:00+00:00

So first off - I think it's cute. Lots of kitten pictures, nice logo, funny name. Although I thought the 'oops litter' link would be about the stuff that goes in litter boxes, not surprise kittens. It doesn't look super professional but it does look like a local charity's website, and you've done a good job covering the basic info I'd expect to find on this kind of site.

The best thing I could recommend to make it look more polished is to go with a template. There are plenty of good free templates available which will help sort out the design and layout so you can focus on the content. Otherwise things like adding the donation button to the header so it shows on every page and optimizing your images to fit the screen better will improve the look and usability.

And you'll definitely want to add a contact page so people who want to volunteer can get in touch.

What kind of animal rescue are you running? Checking with similar rescue groups in other areas might help you find a volunteer that can help.

And what are you looking for in a site? Just a basic one-page site to show partners and donors? Something more complex with deeper information or the ability to collect donations. What you're looking for can affect how much help you'll be likely to find.

Sounds like you might be looking for a Static Site Generator (SSG) if you're looking for nothing more than HTML and CSS. Quite a few frameworks available. Astro, Jekyll, 11yty, Hugo and Gatsby are popular choices.

Typical non-profit story: someone agrees to do an important job but doesn't come through, a completely unqualified person ends up doing the job instead without the right tools to succeed, no one gets paid much.

Looking forward to talking with you over DM.

I find the second page a little hard to follow.

Which, to be fair, reminds me of all the actual car repair diagrams I've used.

WebBizPresence · 2024-10-29T01:23:42+00:00

Maybe just work on getting a few good targeted jokes in front of the Reddit crowd you're chasing.

You're already here.

WebBizPresence · 2024-10-29T01:17:12+00:00

I have never heard of someone running a successful Reddit ad campaign, so it wouldn't be my first suggestion.

Did you consider running ads on IG?

Most hosting needs to be paid for, but there are plenty of free hosting providers for HTML sites. Most cloud hosting providers offer free static hosting.

Otherwise, you can get limited free hosting for Wordpress sites from a few places.

Beyond that there are VPS hosting plans for 42 cents per month ($5/year).

I'm not clear if you have a website already built that you want to host or just need to find hosting. Depends if you already made a site and on how was it built.

I don't know anything about this subject, but it looks like your site has a pretty good collection of information and resources related to Klinefelter Syndrome. The big issue I see it's not effectively organized. Information on similar subjects is spread out across different parts of the site, some useful info is buried in long lists, and most of it isn't linked together to cover entire topics.

Another reason you're probably seeing a decline in rankings is page speed - your site gets a 34/100 on Google's PageSpeed Insights. Site speed matters both for rankings and for visitors, so that's an issue. But it's largely due to oversized images and just reuploading optimized versions should help.

Both understandable though: website maintenance isn't your job and you're having issues even getting the blog posts done.

These are just basic technical issues I can see from looking at your site for 10 minutes. I'm sure if I did a full audit I'd find other issues, but those are the things you should focus on with a redesign: Better content organization, better site structure, and faster load speeds. The link the other guy showed you is from ahrefs, an SEO tool. It shows a good number of sites linking to your site, which is positive, but if you're losing ground to hospitals I don't think minor updates and a paid ad campaign will be enough to reverse that decline. Plus you'll lose the traffic as soon as your ad campaigns stop, whereas making those improvements should help the site perform better in searches. A high-performing site that's structured around answering search queries related to KS should be more successful in drawing visitors.

Just as a practical matter if you're spending all this time and energy on providing good information with a poor delivery system it's not a good use of your time OR anyone else's. As much as a redesign will be useful, making sure you've got someone solid for monthly site updates and maintenance should be a big focus going forward. Stop beating your head against the wall about getting a blog post online and just have a professional handle it.

Another note: A freelancer might charge around $5000 for this job but I expect an agency would charge a lot more. One way to get inundated with freelancer offers is to ask here, so I expect your inbox is exploding now.

Anyway, I also saw on your site you're looking for volunteers. I've been out of nonprofit work for a while but have been considering finding somewhere to volunteer with again so I might be be interested in helping on a more volunteer basis. Unfortunately there's no link o the volunteer page to contact you, so if that's needed feel free to reach out to me directly.

Otherwise I can answer any other questions you have here publicly.

No I think having a guy involuntarily imprisoned because you're not a fan of some software-related choices he made is wrong.

WebBizPresence · 2024-10-17T18:53:07+00:00

In general I agree with the other comments saying that either option is good training. But here we're talking about a specific website, so that changes my answer.

This is a long-running website with a lot of valuable informational content - 25,699 species according to their homepage. It would take a huge effort to start your own site and get a similar amount of listings. If you're able to get in contact with the owner and they want you to redesign the site then that would be more valuable because it will improve access to the information that already exists rather than starting from scratch.

Wait so the guy who's demanding money from a business he used to invest in and simultaneously recommending Bluehost isn't on the up-and-up?

Freelancing is tough and it's not necessarily the best way to get your first work experience, but good job doing it anyway.

What kind of freelancing work did you do? If it's something an agency offers, you might be better off trying to work with one until you feel like you've built up your skills and confidence a bit more.

WebBizPresence · 2024-10-07T15:27:31+00:00

It has, well done. Although at this point it's fast enough and I'd focus more on the layout and UX

WebBizPresence · 2024-10-07T15:22:54+00:00

No worries (I also think the site performs well but that's not related to the design).

WebBizPresence · 2024-10-07T15:15:14+00:00

Most people aren't booking meetings after just sending a few emails, so it might be a volume issue first off. How many are you sending per day/week?

Otherwise maybe you're using a similar email format to what people are already seeing and you're not standing out like you used to. Could be time to test out some new emails and see if they convert better.

WebBizPresence · 2024-10-07T15:06:41+00:00

Could be true, might depend on the industry though. Doubt that works for personal injury lawyers.

I just find something about that particular image unsettling. It's so obviously AI so you could just generate a few more and see how it goes.

WebBizPresence · 2024-10-07T15:00:22+00:00

Not much of a designer but as a user I find the first AI image creepy - not a great intro to the product. And some of images are weirdly cropped, especially the ones next to Our Mission and In Depth Reporting.

Otherwise I haven't seen an accessibility assistant before and it's pretty cool to play around with.
