The Bryce Harlow Foundation needed a website redesign with an easy-to-use content management system and additional functionality. While initially planning to use Joomla, Clikzy determined WordPress would better suit their needs. The new site allows for independent content updates and projects a modern, professional image.
FairVote Action wanted a website to engage younger audiences in grassroots campaigns. Clikzy designed an interactive site with blogs, donations, and community events to encourage participation in democracy.
NAPABA required an intuitive schedule platform for their annual law conference. Clikzy created a searchable database allowing users to easily access event details by day, time, and location.
