About this concept
The same big heart, a much clearer front door.
Everything here comes from your own site: your photographs, your programs, your prices and your story.
We rewrote the words and rebuilt the pages around the two people it has to serve, a parent having a hard year and a neighbor who wants to help.
What changed
Six things this version does differently.
The charity gets the front door.
Today the home page opens on the 2017 and 2018 magazine issues, and Give A Little Christmas sits seventh in a menu of eleven.
Here the first thing anyone reads is why you do this, and the magazine has an honored place on Our story.
A parent finds everything on one page.
Who qualifies, what to put on the application, what you can and can't do, the December 15 deadline and the application itself, together on Get help, in plain language.
Every way to give, with its price, on one page.
Seven for Santa, a one-time gift, Deck the Walls, adopting a family, toys and checks, each with what it costs and what happens next.
Cocktails with Santa gets a real event page.
Date, venue, every ticket and every sponsor level, with the tickets one tap away, so a business owner can say yes to Rudolph without a phone call.
Real buttons instead of “click the banner.”
Every action is a labeled button in large type, and every page reads cleanly on a phone.
Your Christmas domain could finally land somewhere.
givealittlechristmas.org is printed on your posters and currently forwards to the magazine site. This site could live there.
Straight answers
What is real here, and what isn't yet.
- Donate, tickets and the application
These go to your real GivingFuel, TicketSpice and Google Form pages, exactly like today.
- The toy drive, elf and adopt-a-family forms
They look and behave like the finished thing, and in this concept they send nothing. In the real build each one lands in your inbox.
- One photo slot on Become an elf
Marked and waiting for a picture of the elves at work. No stock photos anywhere on this site.
- Hidden from search
This concept tells Google not to list it, so families keep finding your current site until you decide.
