Situation

Fresh Start is an all-volunteer, sustainable scholarship foundation empowering Delaware women to achieve more. 25 years later and $1.46M in scholarships awarded, the organization has directly impacted the lives of 661 women in times of crisis and need with financial support for college and a community of mentorship and empowerment.

Struggling with an impossible to manage website and an outdated scholarship application process, Fresh Start came to us with the goals of digitizing the Fresh Start Scholarship application and mobilizing the Delaware community to get more actively involved in their mission.

Content Strategy & UX Design Approach

We started by exploring the current site to better organize the site into content and navigation that scholars and donors would understand. From there, we developed wireframes to ensure the navigation design and new online scholarship application was intuitive and user centric.

What Our Clients Say About Us

We needed a lightning-fast launch for our social marketing, and Sociable Consulting delivered. They were integral in refining our brand identity and crafting a strategic social media playbook. Their inspirational spirit keeps our social media presence fresh and engaging, with a focus on mission that speaks to our purpose as a non-profit organization. I cannot fully express my appreciation for Sociable Consulting for jumping in and bringing us into the social media world with such effectiveness and joy.

Sociable Consulting is a key contributor to the growth of Delaware Public Media. They really understand how to use social and digital media efforts as a way to build our brand in a truly authentic way. Their methods have helped us measurably improve the search success and resulting usage of our digital platforms at considerably improved levels. They back up their expertise in results-driven execution with creative visuals and stories that grab attention and motivate response. I find that we are turning to Sociable Consulting for more and more support. We place great value in our partnership!

Pete Booker, Delaware Public Media

General Manager

Thanks to Sociable’s efforts, DPM’s social media presence has become more regular and definitely more professional and interesting. Our newsletters are now distributed like clockwork and subscriptions have tripled since Sociable took over the design, production and distribution. Awareness and fundraising campaigns have included social media, enews, traditional mailings and billboards – all managed by Sociable with great results. Sociable is a key member of our team because their work is stellar, forward-thinking and gets results - and they are a pleasure to work with!

Jane Vincent, Delaware Public Media

Former President and Station Manager

In late November 2022 we reached out to Sociable Consulting to create a completely new website for the Fresh Start Scholarship Foundation. The previous site had been created nearly 20 years prior and was no longer functioning which meant we could not even access it, nor could our scholars and donors. We needed the site up and running by the end of January 2023 so that scholars could apply, foundations considering us for grants could reference, and donors could use to make donations. No small order! Sociable quickly put together a proposal as well as an action plan, and ultimately built a terrific site that had all of the bells and whistles we had asked for and then some. And delivered it on-time and on budget. We could not be happier!
