Cairn Rescue USA Project

Who we Serve:

Cairn Rescue USA is a nonprofit organization dedicated to rescuing and rehoming Cairn terriers. Though officially incorporated in New York, they rescue Cairn terriers anywhere in the United States.

What Services Were Needed:

• Website Redesign
• Adoption, Donation and Volunteer Forms
• Email Newsletter Signup and Archives
• SSL Certificate
• Content Updates
• Training for Additional Content Updates

The Challenge:

Before reaching out to our team at Yemba, the Cairn Rescue USA site was not friendly for mobile users. (Experts estimate that at least 50% of website traffic comes from mobile devices.) Even looking at the desktop, the design wasn’t aesthetically pleasing for website visitors.

Though there was plenty of content, the volunteers were unable to make updates on their own, which left their site neglected and outdated. Additionally, the site had no SSL Certificate–a data file that keeps a website secure and protects user data. That’s where Yemba came in.

Our Process

When starting this project, we wanted to work closely with Cairn Rescue to redesign the website personalized to their needs and wants. We worked with a group of their all-volunteer board to make a design that was more mobile friendly and had a fresh, visually appealing design that would attract more users. We also secured the site by installing an SSL Certificate.

Dealing with content, our team reviewed every page to make sure all content was edited and up-to-date. We provided training to board members on how to make minor content changes as needed. This way, their site will continue to stay fresh and provide users with the appropriate information.
