Behind The Screens: North Texas Dog Rescue Website Build
In the heart of Texas, where the spirit of rescue pulses with as much vigor as the bustling streets of Dallas, the Dallas Australian Shepherd & Herding Dog Rescue (DASH) stands as a beacon of hope for herding breeds in need. My journey with DASH began with a mission: to create an online sanctuary that not only reflects their dedication to dog rescue but also facilitates the adoption process with grace and efficiency. This blog post is a narrative of how the DASH Rescue website was born, from a palette of carefully chosen colors to the creation of a comprehensive adoption form.
A Palette of Passion and Purpose
The first step in bringing the DASH vision to life was conceptualizing a color scheme that resonated with both the rescue's identity and its mission. I chose colors that conveyed warmth, trust, and safety—essential feelings for a rescue organization aiming to connect forever homes with dogs in need.
Structuring a Sanctuary Online
The DASH website was meticulously structured to guide potential adopters through the journey of rescue, from understanding DASH’s mission on the "About Us" page to browsing through the heartwarming profiles of dogs on the "Adopt" page. Central to the site was the long-form adoption application, designed to be thorough yet user-friendly, ensuring that every potential adopter could easily express their interest.
A Form with Heart
The adoption form was a labor of love, created to gather essential information about potential adopters while also being an inviting first step towards adoption. I integrated questions that would help DASH understand the needs and lifestyles of applicants, ensuring a perfect match between the furry companions and their new families.
The Impact of Thoughtful Design
Since the launch of the new DASH Rescue website, the feedback has been overwhelmingly positive. The site has not only elevated the rescue's online presence but has also streamlined the adoption process, leading to an increase in successful matches and happy tails. I also adopted my Aussie from D.A.S.H.!
