Tasks and activities include updating visuals to align with organizational values, improving navigation and functionality (e.g., linking resources and newsletters), and integrating testimonials, stats, and new media content. Deliverables will include a fully optimized and visually cohesive website that meets funder expectations, reflects current initiatives, and strengthens connections with stakeholders and partners.
