Alachua Habitat for Humanity
Alachua Habitat for Humanity is a nonprofit organization working to build affordable housing and strengthen communities in Alachua County, Florida. Through homebuilding, volunteer opportunities, fundraising, and community partnerships, the organization helps local families work toward a more secure future. Its website needed to communicate this mission clearly while making it easier for community members to discover ways to get involved.
The project focused on migrating the existing website to Squarespace and creating a more streamlined online experience. Alongside a refreshed visual presentation and improved content structure, the migration brought key resources for donations, volunteering, and events into a more accessible format, helping connect visitors with the organization's work.
