For Community & Economic Development
Websites That Do Staff Work
For the CDCs, chambers, Main Street programs, tourism boards, and lenders that keep rural communities running. Designed in the Mission Valley, Montana, by the developer behind Mission West and Sanders County CDC.
Sound Familiar?
Your Programs Work. Your Website Doesn't Show It.
Most development organizations do years of good work behind a website that makes people call the office to find anything.
Loan Programs Nobody Can Tell Apart
You run several funds with different rules. A borrower lands on the site, can't tell which one fits, and either calls with a cold question or doesn't call at all.
Grants Running on Email and PDF
Applications arrive as attachments, half of them incomplete. Staff spend grant season chasing documents instead of reviewing them.
Board Packets in Everyone's Inbox
Minutes, financials, and policies go out as email attachments, and nobody can find last quarter's version when they need it.
Numbers Pulled by Hand at Report Time
Funders want to know how many people you reached. Someone rebuilds that count from scratch every reporting period.
What I Build
A Website That Works Like Another Staff Member
Every piece is shaped around how your office actually runs, so staff spend less time answering the same questions and the public finds what they need.
Find Your Loan
A borrower answers a few questions and gets matched to the right fund. Your loan officer gets a profile instead of a cold voicemail.
Grant Portal
Applicants apply online, save and finish later, upload documents, and check their own status. Staff review everything in one place.
Board & Staff Portals
Board documents behind a login, organized and searchable. Staff get their own space for requests, events, and reports.
Programs Your Staff Can Add
New program, new workshop, new fund? Your team adds the page themselves. No developer, no new code.
Reporting for Funders
Analytics set up to count what your grant reports ask for, collected automatically instead of rebuilt by hand.
A Clean Move Off the Old Site
Every old link redirects to its new home, so nothing a partner bookmarked or a funder linked to goes dead.
Built for One CDC. Copied by the Next.
Already Working in Western Montana
Mission West CDP in Ronan came first: seven loan funds behind one guided tool, a grant program moved off email into a real portal, and gated portals for the board and staff.
When Sanders County CDC needed a website, their board looked at Mission West's and told their director, “Don't reinvent the wheel.” I built theirs next.
Mission West Community Development Partners
The digital home of Mission West CDP in Ronan. Nonprofit lending, business development, and community programs across western Montana, including a client loan payment portal.

Sanders County CDC
Loans and business help for Sanders County. Built after their board saw the Mission West site, with lending programs and local resources a borrower can actually find.

Built to Fit a Board Meeting and a Grant Budget
Development organizations answer to boards and funders. The process is set up for that.

One number, in writing, that you can take to your board or drop into a grant application.
Built With Your Staff
Your team reviews the design before any code is written, then tests the real thing before it launches.
Care After Launch
Hosting, updates, and backups handled, with a direct line to the person who built it. No account managers, no ticket queue.
