🐾 Client Spotlight: A Chicago Pet Rescue That Needed More Than Just a Paw-some Logo

When our client—a passionate pet rescue organization in Chicago—reached out, they had a cute logo, a lot of heart, and... not much else online. Their “Coming Soon” page had been up for months, and they weren’t getting adoption inquiries or donations. We stepped in with the full Design Catalyst treatment: Built a mobile-first website with an easy-to-browse adoption gallery Added SEO-friendly blog posts to share rescue stories Integrated a donation portal + contact form to drive action Created custom content that matched their playful voice—but with strategy behind every pixel The result? Applications doubled within 60 days Site ranked on the first page for “Chicago small dog adoption” Donors could finally give online—and they did! It was more than design. It was digital transformation with heart.
