Elevation did a deep dive review of our current site, each page, etc to look at analytics, design, readability, etc. They then provided guidance on a full redesign of the site from start to finish.

Elevation was great with creative ideas and keeping the lines of communication open. They were very transparent about costs and helped us to find clever, alternative options to meet our needs, as possible. We used Basecamp to communicate and manage the project, which was very helpful and kept all deliverables organized and detailed.

Their communication was great and their ability to keep our staff liaisons to the project and the project itself on task.

N/A

I’m a marketing communication specialist at Maryvale, a nonprofit organization providing trauma-informed education, mental health services, substance use treatment, and temporary housing to support vulnerable children and families in Los Angeles County.

After 18 months of frustration with a previous vendor, I was truly at my wit’s end. There was a significant disconnect between my vision and what was being produced, and despite multiple attempts to move forward, I couldn’t get past the homepage. I ended up pushing my launch date back 5–6 times and ultimately decided to start from scratch.My primary goal in hiring Elevation was to finally bring our vision to life with a partner who could understand our mission and execute it effectively. I also needed a team that could deliver a high-quality website for our nonprofit programs on time and aligned with our goals, after such a prolonged and difficult experience.

Elevation handled the full website design and development. Their work began with discovery and strategy to understand our goals, followed by site architecture, UX/UI design, and full development.Key deliverables included:While I developed and provided all of the website content, Elevation ensured it was brought to life through thoughtful design, functionality, and an overall user experience that finally matched my vision after a long and frustrating start with a previous vendor.

I worked with one teammate from Elevation.

After speaking with several of their former nonprofit clients, it became clear that Elevation had the expertise and track record we needed. For our line of work, I felt confident they were the best choice to help us move forward and successfully launch.

We worked with Elevation from November 2025–January 2026.

The biggest win was finally launching the site after 18 months of delays and frustration with a previous vendor. Elevation took us from being completely stuck to having a fully live, polished website.A few things that really stood out:We’re still early in terms of long-term metrics, but internally, the feedback has been really positive. Just getting to a place where we have a site we’re proud of—and that actually works the way we needed it to—was a huge success.Since launch, the site has already generated over 5,200 views and 2,200 visitors in just about a month, which is a strong start. Our homepage alone has brought in over 1,200 views, and we’re seeing traffic come primarily from search engines, which is a great sign for long-term visibility. Overall, it shows solid early engagement and a much stronger foundation than where we were before.

Elevation delivered on time. They communicated through email or a messaging app.

The strict timeline was impressive.

No, there weren’t any.

I’m an organizational development specialist at Esperanza Center. We’re a nonprofit organization that seeks to empower people with developmental disabilities to explore their potential and thrive while receiving high-quality support and services.

We hired Elevation to redesign our website.

Elevation redesigned our website from a basic version to a full-service website. The new site now includes forms for careers and program enrollments, as well as donation buttons that make it easy for donors to contribute. We also included a newsletter signup form and other features we didn’t have before, such as testimonials, a newsletter archive, impact page, and a leadership team section. Elevation handled all the design and development work.

We worked with 2–5 teammates from Elevation.

We found Elevation through an online search. We chose them over other options because they had high ratings, and their company values aligned with ours.

We spent less than $20,000.

We worked together from March 2025–December 2025.

We’re beyond happy with the results. The site’s functionality and user-friendliness have improved, and we can now collect data. Although it’s still too soon to tell, the early feedback has been positive.

Elevation delivered on time. We communicated through virtual meetings, email, and Basecamp. I want to personally thank our project manager, Maga Gonzalez, from the bottom of my heart for her attention, patience, flexibility, and guidance throughout this entire process. Maga is an incredible project manager and a truly wonderful human being.

Elevation’s flexibility, patience, and ability to listen to our needs and deliver what we needed were impressive. We also felt a genuine sense that they cared.

No, there weren’t any.

We engaged Elevation to create a new website that better reflected our organization's growth and direction, taking our online reputation from being a local direct service provider to a leader in the aging sector. We wanted our site to represent our innovation, data-driven solutions, and impact. They accomplished this. Key deliverables:- New, innovative website- Brand messaging guide- Branding guidelines- Ongoing support

The project resulted in a complete digital transformation of our online presence, consolidating our brand identity across multiple programs and microsites. Measurable outcomes: improved user navigation, clearer pathways for our core audiences, and alignment of all our programs under a unified brand. They gave us a scalable website structure that supports analytics tracking, online engagement, and future membership and donation growth.

Elevation’s project management was organized and communicative. They kept us on track with clear milestones, met deadlines, and responded promptly to feedback or requests for clarification. Their team showed flexibility when timelines or priorities shifted.

We were impressed by how Elevation captured the heart of our organization's mission while creating a modern, unified brand across all our programs. Their team has a rare ability to translate complex community initiatives into clear, engaging digital experiences.

The only slight hiccup we experienced was the first version of the site they delivered was not on target with what we felt we articulated, so there was a process of getting it back on track to what we were looking for. They stayed engaged, patient, and eager to get it right, and we were very pleased with the outcome.
