Supporting the organizations that support our Communities
Educational organizations, non-profits, charities, professional associations and community organizations have something important in common: your website has to serve a lot of different people.
Students. Parents. Teachers. Members. Volunteers. Donors. Sponsors. Community partners. Government agencies. The general public.
For more than 25 years, 11 Fingers Design has worked with educational organizations, Career and Technical Student Organizations (CTSOs), non-profits and public-serving organizations to create websites and communication materials that make information easier to find, easier to manage and easier to share.
We understand that your priorities—and your resources—aren't always the same as those of a traditional business.
Websites Built Around Your Organization
Your organization shouldn't have to change the way it works to fit a website template.
We start by learning about your organization, your audience and how information moves between the people you serve. Then we help organize that information into a website that makes sense to both your visitors and the people responsible for managing it.
And as your website or business grows, your hosting can grow with it.
Our goal isn't to give you more technology to manage. It's to give you the right tools to accomplish what your organization is already trying to do by providing:
Websites for Education & CTSOs
Educational organizations often need to communicate with several audiences at once while coordinating information between students, teachers, advisors, administrators, parents and community partners.
11 Fingers Design has extensive experience working with educational programs and CTSOs, including organizations associated with state and local education agencies. We understand the challenges of organizing large amounts of information, maintaining consistent branding and creating management tools that can be used by staff with different levels of technical experience.
Whether you need a public informational website, event resources, membership tools or a custom application, we can build around the way your organization actually operates.
Websites for Non-Profits & Charitable Organizations
A non-profit website has to do more than explain who you are. It needs to communicate your mission and help people become part of it.
That may mean encouraging donations, recruiting volunteers, promoting programs, attracting sponsors, managing memberships or simply making important community resources easier to find.
We can help bring your website, branding and promotional materials together into a consistent identity that supports your mission without requiring your organization to maintain a full-time design or technical staff.
Websites for Associations & Community Organizations
Membership organizations, professional associations, arts organizations and community groups frequently need more than a basic informational website.
Membership information, events, directories, registrations, newsletters, private resources and administrative tools can quickly turn a simple website into an important part of your organization's daily operations.
Our custom web development capabilities allow us to build the functionality you need without filling your website with features you don't.
Accessibility is not Optional
We understand that.
Accessible Information for the People You Serve
Accessibility is especially important for organizations serving the public.
We design websites with accessibility, usability and mobile devices in mind from the beginning. Clear navigation, readable content, logical page structure and accessible website development help make your information available to a wider audience while making the website easier for everyone to use.
For organizations with specific accessibility requirements, we can also help evaluate and improve existing websites and develop an ongoing strategy for maintaining accessibility as content changes.
Design Beyond the Website
Your website is only one part of how people see your organization.
11 Fingers Design provides complete graphic design services to help maintain a professional and consistent identity across your communications. From logos and branding to brochures, event materials, banners, signage and digital graphics, you can work with one design team across both print and digital projects.
That can be especially valuable for organizations coordinating conferences, competitions, fundraising campaigns, membership drives and community events where dozens of individual materials still need to look like they came from the same organization.

SupportThat Fits Your Resources
Some organizations have staff members who want to manage most website content themselves. Others would rather send us an email and have the change taken care of.
Both are perfectly good answers.
We can create simple content management tools for the information you update regularly, provide training and technical guidance, or become your ongoing website support team.
With our website maintenance and support services, you'll have a dedicated specialist who knows your website and your organization. When staff changes, a question comes up, or something needs to be updated quickly, you have someone to call.
No giant support queue. No trying to explain your website to a different technician every time.
Technology That Doesn't Get in the Way
Your organization exists to educate, advocate, serve, support or strengthen your community — not to manage website software.
We combine website design, custom programming, hosting, maintenance, accessibility, SEO and graphic design services so you can get the level of support your organization actually needs.
Whether you're a statewide educational organization, a local charity, a professional association or a community group run largely by volunteers, we'll work with you to find a practical solution for your goals and your budget.
