About the Project
The Vernon Davis Foundation for the Arts supports underserved youth through arts, wellness, and education programs. The client provided us with a custom PSD design and needed a fully functional donation website that would reflect the foundation’s mission and make online giving easy and secure.
The Challenge
The foundation had a professionally designed layout but needed a development partner to turn it into a high-performing, editable WordPress website. Key goals included:
- Custom WordPress theme based on provided PSD
- Full content editing access (no developer required)
- Easy-to-use donation flow with payment integration
- Blog and essential page setup (About, Programs, Contact, etc.)
Our Approach
We translated the client’s design into a custom-built WordPress theme with seamless donation and content features.
- PSD to WordPress Theme Development
