Volunteer Centre County is a nonprofit organization in Port Matilda, PA. It provides a free platform for community partners to inquire about volunteering labor or items. At the same time, it allows contributors to spot opportunities for sharing their talent and other resources. This way, volunteers and organizations clarify the current needs and resources available for their fulfillment.
Volunteer Centre County Culture
What Our Client Believes In VCC focuses on delivering inclusive services that would help volunteers and community partners communicate more effectively through an easy-to-navigate platform. Volunteer Centre County puts privacy, data protection, and operational efficiency at the core. Its mission is to help the community thrive by allowing proactive people to become involved in the commune life.
Why Now
Discovering the Case Studies for Web Development in More Detail VCC's legacy website was hard to navigate and didn't make the cut of modern UI standards. Besides, it had limited functionality for managing volunteering projects and allowing the organization's staff to work effectively and efficiently. VCC aimed to empower a volunteering movement in Pennsylvania with easy-to-access web space for sharing and finding volunteering projects faster. Our company delivered a responsive website one could use from any device. It had straightforward navigation that allowed users to quickly find the required information. Besides, a new solution had a more appealing design, which had a huge impact on establishing a more solid reputation within the community. As an old platform had a minimal capacity for managing the charitable organization, our custom web development company took on building a solution that would provide features for more accurate role management. As a result, VCC got an option of granting different levels of access to resources and managerial possibilities depending on the role.

The Project

Helping a Nonprofit Organization Improve the Community's Well-Being - A Web Development Case Study

Volunteer Centre County (VCC) in PA is a nonprofit organization that helps volunteers and donors communicate better. It provides a single hub where volunteers and organizations can inform each other about the current inquiries for services or goods. At the same time, people using this platform learn about the demand and donate the required goods or assist in other ways.

The delivered website provides a centralized platform for pinpointing local charities’ needs for time, talent, and usable goods. In this way, everyone willing to contribute to the community's well-being can play a part and make a difference.

Web Design Case Study: Turn Challenges Into New Opportunities

At the outset, an existing platform could no longer meet VCC’s needs as it lacked critical functionality, was hard to maintain and had an outdated interface.

Within the MVP stage, HebronSoft developed a website for independent volunteers and charity organizations based on the Client's input requirements. The redesigned website is user-friendly and has extended functionality, which allows for more efficient management of VCC. In addition, this platform advances independent volunteering opportunities and matches individual volunteers with charity organizations or projects that require labor or specific items. 

Who Benefits from This VCC Website?

At VCC's request, we built a responsive and user-friendly web platform for:

1) community partners and managers to make volunteer inquiries; 

2) volunteers who have enough resources and are willing to make their contribution to the project.

We established a long-lasting partnership with the Volunteer Centre County. That is why HebronSoft is still working on adding new functionality and developing a mobile version for this ongoing project.

The Deal Clarity Moment
In this case we used a mix of prototyping, design and solutioning to narrow down the project details. We concentrated on value and impact too, building in the key of the connectivity between Community partners and volunteers. Ease of use, high standards to UX and implementation.
The Moment of Trust
It was back 2020 when we released the very first version of VCC. We reached the level of trust that helped us build relationship forward.
The Eureka Moment
After a series of tests, explorations and protorypes we drafted the concept and the architecture of the future platform. On a call where together with our client Ann we projected the impact of this project on community and society. It was about a week before Christmas.

The Red Moment
In the middle of the development we realized that we are slightly behind the schedule. We got together, designed the plan how to navigate, estimated the remediation actions and communicated how to steer the project. In such moments you realize that trusted relationshops win, we agreed the process and sucessfully delivered in time.
The Ribbon Cutting Moment
It was summer 2022 - dedication of the whole team and client, testing and deployments we RELEASED. It was a joy and happiness.
The ROI Moment
It was Sep-Oct when we saw more Community Partners and Volunteers joining the platform.
