During the summer of 2021, Cecile Thomas of Make it Matter approached our team to redesign the website of the Girard Foundation.
Their vision is to foster innovation and systemic change in education with the goal of improving student outcomes in San Diego County and beyond. The old site was outdated in its appearance and needed to better present their recent accomplishments.
Our goal was to migrate all the existing website content into a fresh, modern Theme; and train the team to manage content with the new WordPress Block Editor.
Michele is over the moon thrilled with the Girard Foundation website. One board member’s only email after receiving the link was “love love love it” The board chairman said it was ‘marvelous‘ and makes them look like a major player.
