Carolina Federation

Building a Stronger Advocacy Website Ecosystem
A Great Idea partnered with the Carolina Federation to modernize three independent websites—its 501(c)(3), 501(c)(4), and PAC—by migrating from WordPress to Webflow, strengthening security, improving speed, and making ongoing updates easier for staff.

CHALLENGE

Three independent entities needed distinct websites that still felt connected. WordPress performance, maintenance, and publishing friction slowed timely advocacy updates and supporter engagement.

REQUEST

Migrate three WordPress sites to Webflow for speed, security, and easier updates. Refresh brand and copy, differentiate each entity, and integrate advocacy communications tools.

RESULT

Three Webflow sites launched: faster, secure, and easy to manage. Clearer messaging and cohesive branding supported stronger engagement, with overwhelmingly positive feedback.

Brand system formalization + mission-aligned copy refresh

We collaborated with the Carolina Federation team to formalize brand logo materials into a practical, usable set of assets that could be applied consistently across digital touchpoints. From there, we deployed the refined brand elements across all three Webflow builds to create a cohesive, recognizable experience. In parallel, we delivered completely revised website copy—tightening clarity, elevating inspiration, and aligning language to the Federation’s mission and organizing values. The result is a more confident voice across pages, clearer pathways for advocates, and messaging that better reflects the organization’s leadership in statewide civic engagement.

Independent site identities built on a shared brand foundation

Because the 501(c)(3), 501(c)(4), and PAC operate independently, each site needed to stand on its own—without confusing visitors or diluting purpose. We designed each experience to feel distinct through tailored page structures, content emphasis, and navigation patterns, while still honoring the Federation’s core brand base. This approach supports compliance-friendly separation and makes it easier for visitors to understand where they are, what the entity does, and how to take action. The system also ensures that the three sites feel like part of one ecosystem, not three disconnected projects.

Seamless integration of advocacy tools, signups, and communications

To support organizing at scale, we incorporated third-party communications tools, signups, and advocacy materials directly into the site experiences. These integrations were implemented to feel native—reducing friction and keeping supporters focused on action rather than troubleshooting. Just as importantly, we ensured these tools connected cleanly with the organization’s primary advocate management platform, enabling better list growth, smoother campaign workflows, and more reliable engagement tracking. The result is a web ecosystem that not only looks modern, but actively supports day-to-day organizing operations.
