The Brand
Futurewise stands as a formidable force in Washington state, tirelessly working to cultivate healthy, equitable, and opportunity-rich communities while safeguarding our invaluable farmlands, forests, and water resources through strategic land use policies and practices.
For over thirty years, Futurewise has been a steadfast steward of the Growth Management Act (GMA), collaborating with diverse rural and urban communities across the state to shape a future that is both just and sustainable.
The Challenge
Futurewise, a prominent advocate for healthy and equitable communities in Washington state, encountered a pressing challenge in its quest to enhance its digital presence and engagement strategies.
Despite its longstanding commitment to promoting sustainable land use policies and fostering community involvement, Futurewise faced the daunting task of revamping its outdated website to better serve its diverse stakeholders and advance its mission in an ever-evolving digital landscape.
The Goal
The primary goal was to design and develop a comprehensive website for Futurewise that would serve as a catalyst for engagement and action. The website needed to:
- Clearly articulate Futurewise’s mission, values, and impact.
- Provide accessible information about the GMA and other key initiatives.
- Engage users through compelling storytelling and multimedia content.
- Facilitate community involvement and advocacy efforts.
- Showcase the breadth of Futurewise’s services and expertise.
In essence, the goal was to create a digital platform that would empower individuals and communities to participate in shaping a more sustainable and equitable future for Washington state.
