Take a look at Peer Health Exchange, a national non-profit organization that provides health education to young people across the US, recently re-branded to better connect with Gen Z. 

The organization was looking for a branding and web design agency to support building a website that would resonate with young people and keep up with their changing needs. 

Here’s what Slam delivered:

• A website that features Lottie animations to make it more engaging, custom texture packs to add some playfulness, and a Y2K-inspired aesthetic that appeals to the target audience. 
• We designed the website with young people at the core, seeking their input through brand discovery workshops with Peer Health Exchange's Youth Advisory Board.
• The website's content, language, and images feature young people and demonstrate the organization's commitment to putting them first.
• The project showcases how a web design agency can help a non-profit reach its target audience and fulfill its mission by creating a website that engages and informs young people.

Partner with Slam: The Best Website Design & Development Agency in San Francisco

In the past, I had worked with SO many small and big web design agencies in SF and across the country, charging hundreds of thousands of dollars in retainers. All of them struggled with three things:

• Delivering on time
• Communications and project management (too many points of contact)
• Didn’t have control of the site after

While the work was solid, these three issues added so much unnecessary stress. 

This is why when I started Slam, I made sure that our web design agency provided excellent documentation and comms. Though we don’t promise replying to you immediately, our clients get responses within a few minutes, hours, and you dedicated PM to manage everything!
