Animal rescue website

# A rescue site that turns visitors into donors, sponsors and foster homes.

Pawscrossed helps homeless animals get a decent life. The website has one job: turn people who care into people who help, by donating, sponsoring, adopting or fostering.

- **Client**: Pawscrossed
- **Industry**: Animal rescue (nonprofit)
- **What I did**: Nonprofit website design, Web development, Mobile-first build, On-page SEO

## 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.
