Main Services
Wire Media makes and manages websites for nonprofits, universities, museums, and sustainable businesses. We build Wordpress websites the Wire Media Way. That makes it easy for people to edit their site, easy to customize page layouts within brand guardrails, and ensures the site is accessible and user-friendly for improved SEO, GEO, and overall site performance. We are a team of problem-solvers and educators. We thrive on partnering with clients, learning about their challenges, and finding ways for the website or other digital tools or platforms to improve the situation. Our clients are the subject matter experts. We are the website experts. We combine those areas of expertise to creates websites that deliver measurable ROI and little moments of delight. Wire Media's primary offering is accessible website design and development but we have a range of related services on offer as well. We are web accessibility experts and build accessibility into every phase of our work. We provide accessibility audits, training, and remediation services. We create fully custom websites that may include customized maps, API integrations, or other special features. We also offer Beacon Sites: our website product for smaller nonprofit sites. Our monthly support plans (Care Packages) provide ongoing strategy, support, and peace of mind. They focus on keeping sites stable and secure, and using data-driven decision making to keep websites in top form over time. Most website design clients sign up for a Care Package, and we also have several Care packages clients whose sites we did not build, but who wanted improvement in the support services they had been receiving. Care Packages regularly review heat mapping and Analytics data so that we can provide informed recommendations to improve time-on-site, bounce rate, workflow completions, or other key activities. We provide a full suite of branding services that includes logo design, style guide creation, copy style and tone of voice, brand kit set up on Canva or other tools to enable clients' teams to stay on brand more easily, and more. We offer direct mail services as well to support outreach, fundraising, and GOTV efforts, to name a few options.
