Elevation helped us redesign our entire website, including over 30 pages. We wanted to bring a fresh aesthetic, as well as updated content, into an easier-to-navigate format for our community members and supporters.

Our new website was launched within about 4 months of starting our work with Elevation. It is a beautiful representation of our organization and mission, and we have already received so many compliments on it!

Everyone we worked with at Elevation was super responsive and quick to answer questions. They provided us a timeline of the project up front and stayed on track throughout the project so we could launch the website on time. No one at our organization has much web design knowledge, and the folks at Elevation answered all of our questions and provided extra support as needed.

We clicked with the team right from the start - again, they were so responsive and willing to answer any and all questions we had. They made the website redesign such a smooth process, and were truly a joy to work with.

Nothing that we can think of!

Brand visuals and narrative: Develop clear vision, mission, values, and unique value proposition. Develop color palette, fonts, icons, and other visual elements to support and articulate the brand.

All deliverables were given on time, and all reflected a unique, streamlined brand for Global Forest Generation. Specific to the website, Elevation delievered a product with better SEO, a logical site architecture that showcases our conservation impact, a more accessible design, and a streamlined user experience.

Elevation's project management was next level. They were thorough and responsive, remaining courteous when answering both our big and small questions. They kept to their timelines and delivered exceptional products. At every turn, Elevation came through, which eased my anxiety. Their service is a big reason why I would work with them again…you don’t want a creative firm leaving you in the lurch, no matter how good they are.

Besides their service, I was impressed with the range of experts on the team. Whenever we had questions, whether technical or creative, they brought in someone knowledgeable to help us troubleshoot. There was truly nothing they could not do. I also appreciated that Elevation works exclusively with nonprofits, so they understand our ecosystems and constraints. And they are so reasonably priced. We would not have been able to re-do our website without them. Other firms were quoting us twice as much...but the product we got from Elevation did not skimp on quality. Finally, we work in South America, so it was a bonus to have Spanish-speaking Elevation staff who also understood the regions in which we work.

The only comment I have here is that once or twice it fell like Elevation was trying to "up-sell" us on services. Which I understand. But Elevation was very reasonable when I came back and said, "we can't afford that." So, it's not a major complaint.

The communication with our project manager, Maga, was impeccable. I am an artist and administrator. I learned so much about the process of web development. Maga was extremely patient and just a pleasure to work with. She managed our expectations very well and adjusted or made adjustments before we understood they were needed.

Whoops! I may have answered that in the last question. Yes, they delivered on time and before time. There was never a waiting game. In fact, they waited on us. Maga was extremely supportive, considerate, and patient. I could not ask for a better experience especially because this was not my wheelhouse. Elevation is truly the best of the best and I am so glad we chose them. They delivered far beyond what we expected.

Elevation is personable. There was nothing stuffy about them, and still business-oriented. This is the energy that attracted me to them. The diversity was also important to our choice. They also centered on the service of accessibility, and we found this to be very impressive. Elevation is modern and forward thinking and forward acting in the culture of the business and that is what PWP will always align with. When you have experienced the best, why would you go any other way? With absolute certainty and confidence, I will always recommend Elevation or bring them to the forefront of possibilities. 10 out of 10 I would do it again!

Not that I am aware of. Never say goodbye. Be available to us forever. LOL We were made aware of every step. Maga was masterful at setting expectations. It truly was a perfect experience.

She highlighted any delays or deadlines that we needed to meet to keep the project on track. The site was delivered on time and Carolina was extremely responsive to our needs and questions. We would work with Carolina again in a hearbeat.

The level of project management was one of the best I've ever experienced. The communication was so seamless and effective that we felt really well taken care of. We also really appreciated the care that Elevation gives to accessibility on their websites. It's not always a given for web design. Really appreciate the entire experience.
