Volunteer: Squarespace Developer to Translate Brand Identity to Web

This is a volunteer opportunity provided by Taproot Foundation, a nonprofit creating social change through pro bono connections.<br><br>We need someone with experience developing in Squarespace to set up our site in a way that can integrate our brand identity onto the website. The goal is to have our homepage + 4 core pages (current projects; support; manifesto; and contact page) look high-quality and professional, reflecting our actual brand identity and not the limitations of Squarespace. We need someone who knows how to code in Squarespace and can: - replace the solid color background with a stock moving image - replace the fonts with our brand fonts - integrate other aspects of our visual identity to give it the polish it requires, including our logo and some visual brand language - extend this from the home page and other core pages Ideally, this person will also have advanced experience with visual website design to further develop some of the vision for our brand identity and translate it onto the Squarespace page: specifically translating a core part of our brand identity (visual poetry) into workable form on Squarespace. This will require making text on Squarespace appear in different shapes than what a typical text box allows for.<br><br>Our organization is preparing for launch, and this next phase of website development is required to properly communicate our vision as a high-quality, mission-driven arts organization.<br><br>I can provide some brand identity assets and visual references as assets that can be edited for further polish and/or just as visual references to work with.<br><br>Climate House US ("Climate House") Mission: Climate House is a creative think tank using the arts to illustrate actionable pathways forward—and bring them to life. Our Mythos Embodied Climate: Climate change is not the abstract, technical issue it’s often framed to be–but a universal, ambient one experienced through our bodies and daily lives. CH communicates using universal sensory language, to reintegrate our understanding of climate change as real in the felt sense, and as a core defining issue shaping everything around us. Universal Sensory Language: By speaking this universal language of the senses, we can communicate in a language everyone speaks and understands. This helps reframe climate as an everyone issue–providing an opportunity for the general public to reclaim their agency in understanding it and engaging with its solutions creatively, collaboratively, and meaningfully. Culture-First: Culture is the fabric of daily life. CH uses a broad suite of cultural tools to meet people where they are, designing programming that is audience-tailored and culture-first, recognizing this as the carrier oil for engaging with more complex topics. Show-not-tell: Because seeing is believing, we design programs that show, not tell. All of our programs are seared with a blueprint, grounding solutions on the experiential plane, allowing our audience to feel solutions that are so actionable, they can taste them.
