Hogs for the Cause
Hogs for the Cause
Custom Crowdfunding Website to Help Fight Brain Cancer
Hogs For The Cause is a nonprofit organization whose mission is to help families with children battling brain cancer. Started as a local New Orleans festival in 2009, Hogs For The Cause has grown to one of the region’s most highly acclaimed barbeque and music festivals with over 30,000 people in attendance. This nationwide movement has raised over seven million dollars for hospital programs and other charities and over two million as direct grants to families battling pediatric brain cancer across the country.
With the growth of their organization, Hogs For The Cause needed their website to evolve to allow for the separation of the local New Orleans festival, and the nationwide grant and crowdfunding efforts.
Website Design
The new Hogs For The Cause website needed to do two things more effectively: help communities around the US start their own fundraisers, and shine a light on the impact of the organization. As a non-profit we also needed to ensure that the website had clear navigation while also being visually distinctive, and it needs to help people donate or start their own fundraiser easily.
We built a customized website with an interactive map that illustrates the money raised by communities across the country. The website also integrates with the organization’s crowdfunding software, which allows people to sign up for crowdfunding, as well as to follow the progress of current campaigns.
Millions of donations made easy
What Our Client Had to Say:
Our partnership with Get Online NOLA has positively impacted our business in several ways, such as by allowing us to speak to our customers differently. As for our SMM, they’ve helped us with many campaigns and newsletters to stay better connected with our customers. Get Online NOLA is extremely professional, very responsive, and super helpful.
We’ve seen a tremendous increase in business. Get Online NOLA helped me institute a text program where users enter a drawing by texting their opinion of the business. It’s been successful with my customers. I get fantastic compliments about the website. When looking at the marketing data from Google and Facebook, it’s clear that our online usage is increasing.
Wendy and her team did a great job with our firm’s website. They were easy to work with and always available to assist in editing our pages. Wendy is extremely creative and gave us many ideas for a great site!
What a great partner in our court for a new to market, woman owned business. Always takes the time to confer, advise, and pivot as needed!! Thank you.
Working with the GON team was excellent all the way through. They are extremely responsive to communication. Actualization of your vision and communication are where they really shine. Their rates are more than reasonable for their collaborative spirit, timeline, and product. I found them a joy to work with and am super happy with the results.
We have used Get Online NOLA for our bar Wrong Iron in New Orleans. They did a wonderful job designing our website and setting up our event booking calendar. Their work is good quality. My favorite part about working with Get Online NOLA is how responsive they are when I have a question or issue.
Wendy is so wonderful to work with! Our new website is coming out just as I had hoped and thanks to Wendy’s suggestions it’s even better than I could have imagined. I would recommend Get Online Nola for any small business who is ready to take that next step to a professional looking website. Great service, professionalism, and an eye for design.
Wendy did a wonderful job dramatically improving our existing website and setting up links to various documents for easy online viewing. Whenever we have an additional request or need help on updating the website, she responds immediately and keeps us moving forward. Thank you Wendy!
“Loved working with the GON team! They are responsive, professional, and really helped us bring our vision to life. Will definitely work with them again in the future.”
