City Rescue Mission is a faith-based non-profit that provides temporary shelter and holistic resources for individuals and families experiencing homelessness. I partnered with the development team at Ghost to create a more modern, accessible site that better communicates its mission and makes it easier for visitors to access services, support the organization, or get involved.

Challenge

The existing website lacked clear hierarchy and user pathways, making it difficult for visitors to quickly find information or take meaningful next steps. Outdated visuals, inconsistent layouts, and unclear navigation further contributed to a disjointed experience that felt less approachable overall. Beyond usability issues, the organization also wanted the site to feel more personal and emotionally engaging, helping visitors connect with the people behind the mission rather than viewing homelessness as an abstract issue.

Solution

The redesigned experience introduced a modernized layout and streamlined navigation so visitors can find exactly what they need, whether it’s donating, signing up to help, or finding shelter. To help communicate the organization’s impact more effectively, I incorporated stories of transformation throughout key pages and designed a dedicated library of client success stories. These testimonies humanize the organization’s work and make its impact more immediate and tangible.
