After consulting with Reward Insights, Idea Maker created a plan. Our team discussed the needs, wishes, and hopes of this website with the people responsible for the idea and walked them through our tried and true website development process. The process for a non-profit website design isn’t much different than a for-profit design. We knew from the start that we had the right team to make this project a reality.
We had lengthy discussions with many different minds on the project to pinpoint exactly what needed to be done, we determined that we could create the perfect customized website and automate much of it to work without more than essential user input. Thus, the Idea Maker’s team collaborated to create a beautiful and functional website using a combination of systems.
Our experts created a perfect function by combining Django, Linux, Nginx, Gunicorn, React, JavaScript and JQuery. Each facet of the design added to the functionality and helped simplify the end product’s usefulness. These varied programming languages allowed this custom non-profit website design to do many different things that overlapped seamlessly.
With our team's expertise and the Reward Insights creators, we were breaking ground on a project that had the potential to change lives.
When you’re dealing with money and investing, you have many legal obligations to the customers you work with. We installed an easy-to-use PDF reader to convey important documents to donors and lenders, and those who benefited from our contributors.
Using Plaid and Stripe to create a cohesive and dependable payment processing system was one of the main critical points of this website build—further, much of the process needed to be custom-coded to automate transaction fees to the correct accounts. For example, When a loan is taken, the transaction fees are shouldered by the borrower. At the same time, the transaction fees are the responsibility of donors when they donate. Plaid -- a banking system, and Stripe - a credit card processing system, were used to ensure the best rates and highest protections were available for everyone involved.
We created a user-friendly dashboard for our supporters; the dashboard is easy to use and regularly updated. This dashboard provides a place for donors to monitor their donations, loans, contributions, and earnings.
Client Success Stories
Idea Maker has done an amazing job of delivering and responding to our needs.
The team was very responsive and easy to work with. They are professional, talented, and experienced team. They were able to meet all our requirements.
Idea Maker is distinguished for their personalized collaboration and white glove services. The team is dependable and reliable, sticking to the project's plan, offering feedback, and pushing back on the right things.
The way they understand the requirements we present to them is fairly solid. Both in terms of bringing their own interpretation in nailing the requirements and their design sense. By the time we launched, I had gotten significantly more value from our collaboration than what we had discussed in the original specs.
This is a boutique development firm where the Founder is directly involved with the project and the primary contact. This is unlike many development firms where you are simply handed off to developers that are not stakeholders. This is an important distinction that results in much better project accountability.
I have never had a site like this built before. I felt that Idea Maker and Tom had built numerous sites like this, and they were pros.
Idea Maker's portfolio is what drew us in. Their design style was in alignment with what we were after. We had initial consultations with 3 companies that we had narrowed it down to. Once we had our initial meeting with Tom at Idea Maker we knew we had the right choice to make. Their communication style works well for us.
Their customer service is excellent — they’re incredibly accessible and available, which I appreciate. Furthermore, they have enough experience and bandwidth to fulfill all my needs. They’re one of the best vendors I’ve worked with.
