ABWA Wind Song Charter Chapter

The American Business Women’s Association (ABWA) Wind Song Charter Chapter are an established national women’s networking group with a Southern California chapter in Huntington Beach, California. The group wanted to find a website platform that would be easier to maintain than WordPress. They also wanted to refresh their chapter logo. I was able to use their existing brand colors but added a few shades and tints to give me more palette choices.

I built the site using Squarespace and their marketing assets using Canva.

Overall Project

  • Designed custom site on Squarespace

brand development: color palette

Client came to me with this vibrant color pairing or turquoise and cherry red. I was able to add a few more shades of grey to balance out the colors and provide monochromatic depth to the website without going off the rails.

Color palette with hex codes: black #000000, gray #717271, light gray #C6C7C6, teal #61BEB1, red #E70033, light gray #F1F1F1.

logo design: refresh chapter logo

They wanted a refreshed logo for their chapter marketing assets. The older logo on the left and refreshed logo on the right incorporating their vibrant colors on the right.

website design: squarespace

Using the original site as the content foundation, I was able to improve navigation and extend their brand throughout the new site highlighting their mission statement while speaking to their target market.

graphic design

Created a series of images for their blog posts and events, as well a favicon and a bordered frame image for their executive board and their individual members.

search engine optimization: meta descriptions

Squarespace makes it very easy to optimize each page on your site with meta descriptions and SEO titles. I added individual meta descriptions to each page as well to all of their images.
