• HeartSpark Design – We are a team of writers, designers, and developers who believe creativity should be used to amplify the causes that are shaping the world.
  • Pro Tip: ​​It takes about 50 milliseconds (that’s 0.05 seconds) for website visitors to form an opinion about your website that determines whether they’ll stay or leave. The header section of your homepage is the prime real estate that they look at first, so you need to make this space count!
  • The header section of your website should only contain 3 things: a clear and compelling one-liner; donate button; and a beautiful photo or video of who you serve. These 3 things work together to help capture attention and motivate people to learn more about your mission.

 

• Studio HumanKind – Humankind specializes in ethical, true storytelling for organizations tackling complex social issues around the globe. Our team develops strong foundations for deeply-rooted causes at the forefront of social justice that drives our world toward action.
