Shelterhouse of Midland and Gladwin Counties

Sunday, 22 August 2010

Shelterhouse, a non-profit organization serving Midland and Gladwin counties, partners with GEMS Solutions to develop a new website that is safer and easier for their audience to use.

Shelterhouse is committed to providing safety, shelter, advocacy and counseling to survivors of domestic violence and sexual assault. GEMS Solutions worked with Shelterhouse to provide a new website primarily focused on helping potential Shelterhouse clients easily access the website to gain knowledge and help. From a marketing standpoint, the website is now their primary vehicle for communication about the organization, with web pages for news, events, what’s happening, and more. It also provides for easier volunteer sign-up with an online form and for easier donations with an online donation system. And don't forget to check on the educational resources pages for information and links to great articles and studies.

Technical capabilities and business processes included in this nonprofit website:

Online donation system
e-Newsletter sign-up module with capabilities for also creating, sending and reporting on any emails and newsletters through the website
Safety box that pops-up on the homepage to alert visitors how to quickly exit the website in case of emergency
Quick exit bar at the top to easily leave the website
Event calendar of all their special events and fundraisers, with an upcoming events module that auto displays the next couple of events on the homepage
Online volunteer form for easily submitting info and easy processing at Shelterhouse
