Content Strategy and Mapping
A Great Idea developed a comprehensive content strategy before a single page was designed. We conducted content mapping around the coalition's core priorities—legislation, community impact, and advocacy—then built a clear navigation structure and information hierarchy that transforms complex policy issues into accessible storytelling. This upfront strategic work is a hallmark of how A Great Idea approaches every digital engagement: the right architecture makes every design decision stronger and every visitor interaction more purposeful.
Interactive Storytelling for Impact
A Great Idea went beyond static information to build a platform for story-driven content that connects emotionally with visitors. We shaped narratives around the real human harms of cash bail, creating content that resonates across a broad and varied audience. This is one of A Great Idea's core capabilities: transforming complex policy and advocacy work into compelling, accessible stories that drive engagement, strengthen community ties, and give organizations a living platform for ongoing communications.
Advocacy-Centered Page Design
A Great Idea designed every page to move visitors from awareness to understanding to action—a signature approach we bring to every advocacy-focused engagement. Strong headlines, strategic calls to action, and purposeful visual hierarchy communicate the urgency of cash bail reform while remaining welcoming to allies, legislators, community members, and first-time visitors alike. We treat credibility and accessibility as equally important design criteria, because the best advocacy design works for every audience it needs to reach.
What’s the difference between UI and UX?
UI (User Interface) focuses more on the look, feel, and layout of your website. This can mean buttons, fonts, and navigation. UX (User Experience) is a bit broader and more structural, focusing on the overall experience. Think of UX as the house, the UI as the paint and the decorations. We often work on UI/UX in tandem as part of a holistic approach to website construction.
What website platforms do you use?
We regularly work with content management systems (CMS) like WordPress, Webflow, and Squarespace, though we’re flexible. We evaluate each project and choose a CMS depending on your needs and technical goals!
What is website design?
It’s the process of planning, creating, and building websites by combining branding, structure, functionality, and user experience (UX) to support your goals. The goal is to create a site that’s useful and compelling so you can best connect with your audience!
Is there a difference between print and digital design?
Put simply, print design is collateral design, meant for physical assets, while digital design is for electronic dissemination. Beyond that, there are differences in the designs we create for each channel. Considerations like text size, colors, and readability vary across formats.
What kind of print and digital design do you offer?
Our team is composed of skilled designers, copywriters, and developers, meaning we can offer a range of design services! Most commonly, we offer custom brochure design services and promotional materials, annual report designs, marketing collateral design, brand design, environmental design, designs signage, and social media designs.
