A statewide voice for safer children.
A complete digital rebuild for South Carolina's only statewide organization preventing child abuse and neglect, turning a sprawling network of programs, partners, and research into one clear, navigable home.
Big mission. Tangled map.
Children's Trust does the kind of work that's hard to summarize on a homepage: they run home visiting programs across all 46 counties, fund family resource centers, publish KIDS COUNT data, advocate at the State House, train the prevention workforce, and lead the statewide CAP Month campaign each April. It's a lot — and it all matters.
Their existing site had grown organically over a decade. Donors couldn't find a clear path to give. Partners couldn't find program documentation. Policymakers couldn't find the data. The information was all there, just buried under fifteen years of well-intentioned page additions.
They came to us with a simple ask: make it findable. Make it feel like one organization. Make it work as hard as the people behind it.
Three trails. One map.
Audience-first routing.
We mapped every visitor type — donor, parent, partner, policymaker, journalist — and built a top-level structure that lets each one find what they came for in two clicks. No more guessing which menu hides the grant guidelines.
Programs as field guides
Each program — Healthy Families America, Nurse-Family Partnership, Strengthening Families — got a consistent template: what it does, who it serves, where it runs, evidence base, and how to participate. Same shape, every time.
Data, made readable.
KIDS COUNT and ACE research were treated as first-class content, not PDF dumps. We built interactive county profiles, indicator dashboards, and shareable stat cards that policymakers actually use in committee meetings.
Selected pages and screens from the finished build.
For the first time, our website matches the quality of the work we do on the ground. Period Three didn't just redesign pages — they helped us see our own organization more clearly.
