A nonprofit doing serious science had a website that looked like a bake sale. The redesign lets the fieldwork speak first.

The goal

Funders who met the team were impressed; funders who found the website first never called back. The site needed the same credibility as the science.

What I made

A new identity built on their own field photography — zero stock — and a site structured like a field report: what’s being restored, what the data shows, who’s doing the diving.

What happened

The team now opens funder meetings with the site. Volunteer sign-ups doubled in the first season after launch.
