Mellon Heritage Website Design Project

Overview

At timberRidge Solutions, in collaboration with BlakSheep Creative, we aimed to deliver a modern, user-friendly digital platform for the Mellon Heritage Foundation. The goal was to create an engaging online presence that aligns with their mission of empowering veterans for life beyond the battlefield. The redesigned website provides easy access to healthcare services, vocational training, and tailored career development resources.

Objective

The primary objective was to develop a website that streamlines information about Mellon Heritage’s various programs, offers clear navigation for veterans seeking support, and amplifies the foundation’s mission to provide holistic assistance for veterans and their families. Our focus was on intuitive functionality and a professional design that reflects the foundation’s commitment to serving those who have served.

Approach

To meet the project’s goals, we employed the following approach:

• User-Centric Design: The design was optimized for simplicity and ease of use, ensuring veterans and their families can quickly navigate through available services.
• Community Engagement Tools: Integrated resources for volunteering and donations allow supporters to easily contribute to the cause.
• Mobile-First Development: With a growing need for mobile accessibility, we designed a fully responsive website that adapts seamlessly to various devices.
• SEO Optimization: Strategic SEO was implemented to ensure that veterans, donors, and volunteers can find the foundation online, boosting visibility in search engine rankings.

Features

The Mellon Heritage Foundation’s website includes several standout features aimed at improving user experience and boosting community engagement:

• Comprehensive Service Pages: Detailed descriptions of healthcare, vocational training, and community outreach programs help veterans easily access the resources they need.
• Donations and Volunteer Opportunities: Visitors can contribute to the cause through easy-to-use donation and volunteer forms, expanding the foundation’s impact.
• Mobile-Responsive Design: The site ensures veterans can engage with the foundation from any device, whether at home or on the go.
• SEO Optimized for Awareness: We employed a strategic SEO approach to improve the foundation’s visibility and ensure its services are accessible to those who need them most.

Results

Since the website’s launch, Mellon Heritage has seen a significant increase in visitor engagement, including higher donations and volunteer sign-ups. The clear, structured layout has enabled veterans to more easily access crucial services, and the foundation’s visibility in search engines has improved, drawing in more supporters and resources.
