Navigation & Sitemap

Key decisions:

• "Donate Now" buttons across the site land directly on the giving form at the top of the Donate page
• Meal contributions sit alongside corporate and planned giving, clearly separated from general donations
• The Sustainers portal is linked from the Donate hero and sits near the top of Ways to Give

Key decisions:

• Overview prevents clicking through multiple pages just to understand the org
• Supports both donors and meal recipients
• A program gets its own page when it has a distinct audience, a distinct reason someone would search for it, and enough to say to fill a page. Diners Club earns one on all three; Friendly Chats and Friendly Tech Visits share one
• The Pet Program earns one on the same test: named partners, its own staff contact, and a section written to veterinarians
• The main page leads with the three places a meal happens: at home, at a dining center, or out at a restaurant. The rest sit below in two labeled groups, Programs for specific needs and More than a meal, because eight equal choices in one grid stops being scannable
• The two FAQs stay separate, one here and one under Volunteer. Someone searching "how do I get meals" and someone searching "how do I volunteer" are in different mindsets
• Advocacy moves into Volunteer. It's an action a supporter takes, not a service MOWP delivers

Key decisions:

• Phone number near the top of every page in this section, not only in the closing CTA
• For Caregivers & Family keeps a page of its own. Caregivers arrive with different questions, and a different emotional state, than someone requesting meals for themselves
• Every page here moves someone toward asking for meals. Explaining the services and finding a dining center happen under What We Do, and Get Meals links across rather than repeating them
• The dining center map moved to Community Dining. A lookup belongs with the thing it describes
• Contributing toward the cost of your meals sits here rather than under Donate. It isn't a tax-deductible donation, and the person doing it is already a participant

Key decisions:

• No sub-navigation deeper than one level
• The New Seasons Market signup keeps a page of its own, left out of the menu. New Seasons employees have their own join code and skip the standard orientation, so it can't fold into Group & Corporate
• Advocacy moves here from What We Do. Both cost time rather than money, and someone reading about one is in the right frame of mind for the other

Key decisions:

• Financials easy to find for the donors who go looking for them
• Sustainability stays in About. It's a credibility page, and it backs the resilience-hub story behind the Eastside Resource Center

Key decisions:

• Low-cadence by design: updated when there's something to share, no required publishing schedule
• A natural home for impact stories that support donor and volunteer messaging
• News & Stories and Events aren't separate pages. They're the one listing filtered by type, each with its own address so it can be linked to and found in search
• Articles and event details sit under their listing, not beside it. They're templates, not destinations
• Press is a sibling of the two listings, not a child of them. Coverage links out to the outlet that published it; MOWP's own press releases behave like posts
• Motion, the quarterly newsletter, is a section on the News & Events page rather than a page of its own. The current issue is what nearly everyone is after
• Press is reachable from the footer and from a card on the News & Events index rather than the utility bar
