Pawscrossed homepage: helping homeless animals get a decent life, with a Donate Now button

What I built

  • A homepage that leads with the mission and a Donate Now button
  • Every way to help in one place: donate, sponsor, adopt and foster
  • Bright, hopeful visuals instead of sad ones
  • Mobile-friendly, fast-loading pages

Key decisions

The choices that shaped the site, and why.

  1. One clear first step: donate

    The Donate Now button sits right under the mission, next to the number of lives saved, so the reason to give and the way to give appear together.

  2. Every way to help in one band

    Donate, sponsor, adopt and foster scroll across a bold purple band, so people who cannot give money still find a way to help.

  3. Warm, friendly visuals

    Bright cut-out animals on a clean white page keep the tone hopeful rather than sad, which suits a site that asks people to act.
