THE CHALLENGE
Independence From Plugins and Developers
II Dope Chics Who Give A Care, Inc. is a women-led nonprofit serving underserved communities across Jacksonville through charitable giving, educational scholarships, legal advocacy, and social activism. Their work moves fast — events, giveaways, community drives — and every one of them generates photos, video, and news that needs to be online while it still matters.
The problem wasn't design. It was dependency. A nonprofit running on WordPress ends up relying on gallery plugins, event plugins, and form plugins, and maintaining every one of them. And when the team wanted to post a recap from last weekend's event, they'd have to wait on a developer.
OUR SOLUTION
A Custom CMS Built Around the Mission
We built the entire site from scratch — HTML, CSS, JavaScript on the front end, PHP and MongoDB on the back end. No page builder, no theme, no plugin stack. Every line exists because the organization needed it.
The core of the build is a custom content management system designed around how this nonprofit actually operates.
Gallery Module
Mixed photo and video in a single upload flow — over a hundred assets and growing.
News Module
Staff publish updates the same day something happens.
Events & Registration
An event's status shifts automatically once its date passes, so the site never shows stale calls to action.
One Admin Dashboard
Volunteer signups, contact submissions, and newsletter subscriptions all route into a single place.
Donation Flow
The donation flow sits one click from every page.
Technical SEO
Canonical tags, Open Graph and Twitter card metadata, Google Search Console verification, and Tag Manager for campaign tracking.
