The CADCA-National Coalition Institute (NCI) is a non-profit organization that has received a grant from ONDCP, a Washington DC-based government organization. It offers training, outreach, evaluation and research, and coalition development support (CDS) services with the aim of creating safe and drug-free communities across the world. It also aims to simplify how one can use research-based information for practical purposes. It currently represents more than 5,000 community coalitions that comprise individuals from sectors such as education, healthcare, law enforcement, and media.
When NCI contacted us for a new website, it required us to create pages that served distinct purposes. For example, it wanted one page to provide links and overviews of educational opportunities from cadca.org, another to have evaluation tools, and a separate page for research and practice publications. Segregating training opportunities, coalition development resources, and technical assistance was part of the parcel. NCI also wanted a simple sitemap and the integration of Google Analytics.
The website we designed and developed stays true to the organization’s branding, using its core colors to good effect. The navigation is simple, and the main menu lets visitors find the information they seek with ease. Integration with Google Analytics gives NCI the ability to view different metrics such as organic traffic, hits, and downloads. Our SEO efforts have ensured that the website receives plenty of organic traffic. In addition, the website also ranks well on other key parameters like search result efficiency, time on task, and task success.
