Description
Do you work for a non-profit or have you ever thought about donating your UX skills to help a good cause? This session will outline the key guidelines for the UX of nonprofits, specifically animal rescue groups. The discussion will explain how to maximize donation revenue generation, display the pets that are available for adoption, explain the purpose and track record of the rescue, and display the events where people can meet the pets. A rescue website is basically a dating website to match adopters with a pet that is compatible for them. For the volunteers, a well-designed site eases communication of information and the record-keeping required of the non-profit. For people interested in the rescue, a well-designed site enables them to quickly and easily find a compatible pet, learn how they can volunteer to help the animals, and donate to the group. The UX enables the rescues to succeed in their mission of rescuing pets from shelters and abusive situations so that the animals will not be euthanized.

UX can be a great job, until it becomes horrible. It's definitely not for everyone and it's not even about learning Figma, or the Design Thinking process. Is 2022 a good year to become a UX designer? Yes and No.
In this video we're going to look at the reasons NOT to become a UX designer this year - and I'll break down four of them for you - with the most important being last.

If you're a junior UX designer and you want to learn and grow, make sure you're ready for everything that this job entails.

Your nonprofit website can make or break your organization. That’s the unfortunate reality these days when so much happens online.

But, organizations that do the right things online see their memberships grow and donations flow.

To find out what those things are, I analyzed hundreds of the top nonprofit websites and compiled my findings in this video.

I've included more details plus instructions on how to implement these features for your nonprofit website here: bit.ly/3m2PlE8
