With a simplified structure, over 500 reorganized resources, and a modern, fast, and accessible design, the new site makes it easier for users to engage and take meaningful action.

DPF had hundreds of resources and a loyal audience, but their old site buried too much under clunky navigation. We partnered closely with their team to develop a modular system that guides each visitor to the content that matters most. On the backend, we delivered a flexible WordPress setup with a clean, easy-to-manage CMS so their team can keep things growing without a hitch. From downloading an exercise guide to signing up for The Victory Summit® or joining a support group, every user interaction was thoughtfully designed. The new site doesn’t just look better, it works harder. It’s a powerful platform for education, connection, and impact, helping DPF extend its mission and serve the Parkinson’s community with clarity and care. ![](https://www.glidedesign.com/wp-content/uploads/davisphinneyfoundation-3-large@ 2x.png) ![](https://www.glidedesign.com/wp-content/uploads/davisphinneyfoundation-4-large@ 2x.png) ## More Great Work ![Austin Humane Society](https://www.glidedesign.com/wp-content/uploads/austinhumanesociety- list@2x-800x952.webp "Austin Humane Society") Austin Humane Society ### Saving and transforming animal lives since the 50s Featured Nonprofit Design Development ![Chimp Haven](https://www.glidedesign.com/wp-content/uploads/chimphaven-list@2x- 800x952.png "Chimp Haven") Chimp Haven ### Key website events climb 47% for the world's premiere chimp sanctuary Featured Nonprofit Design Development ![The Meadows Center](https://www.glidedesign.com/wp-content/uploads/meadowscenter- list@2x-800x952.webp "The Meadows Center") The Meadows Center ### Research to support student success Featured Nonprofit Education Design Development
