Reach for Home Website in SquareSpace
Reach for Home (formerly North Sonoma County Services) worked with Graybird Foundation to create a new brand to more accurately represents the services rendered to the surprisingly large number of homeless in this normally perceived affluent community—which according to the 2016 Sonoma County Homelessness Census and Survey, nearly 3,000 adults and children live without housing. Three times higher than the national rate of homelessness.
SquareSpace was chosen as the website framework to facilitate ease of management for a generally non-technical staff and take advantage of the tightly integrated donation and commerce tool offerings. However there are design challenges within the SquareSpace infrastructure in that none of the template offerings accommodated all the design requirements we envisioned. StoverPiX did an extensive evaluation of all SquareSpace templates and settled on the Adirondack theme for it’s strong commerce features and secondary navigation options. Custom code was written by StoverPiX to enhance the theme and achieve the design requirements the theme was not designed for. See the bottom of this page for specifics.
