The Inquiry That Started It All
Crossroads Kids Club is a nonprofit ministry that equips local churches to run Gospel-centered after-school clubs in public schools—providing free curriculum, leader training, and resources so kids can know Jesus. Coming off a legacy setup and an unhappy experience with their previous provider, the team began looking specifically for a nonprofit website designer who could deliver a leaders-only portal with multilingual support, printable lesson PDFs, an organized resource library, a clear donation path, and dependable hosting. They discovered us through ChatGPT while researching options, and our program that covers half of development fees for qualifying 501(c)(3)s made partnering an easy next step.

Who We Built For (and With)
This project wasn’t built in a vacuum. We partnered closely with a team of about four from Crossroads Kids Club to:
That focused team made access, decisions, and reviews fast—exactly what you want in non profit web development.
From Word Docs to a User-First Leaders’ Portal
Crossroads had years of faithful content in Word documents. Our job as a professional website designer was to transform those raw materials into an intuitive, mobile-friendly web design system that leaders can use in real life.
What leaders can do now
“Make it easy for volunteers to win.”
That was our internal mantra—and the design follows it everywhere.
The Translation Solution: Why We Chose Weglot
When you’re choosing a nonprofit website builder for multilingual sites, the translation approach matters. We selected Weglot for the leaders’ site for three reasons:
- Scalability
We could start with English and Spanish, and expand later without re-architecting the site—Twi is already integrated for lessons and resources as downloadable PDFs, and other site languages can be added as the ministry grows. - Entire-site coverage (including imagery)
When a leader switches languages, text and images change together. That keeps training visuals and lesson headers culturally and linguistically aligned with what’s on the page. - Workflow that fits real teams
Weglot’s translation management (machine + human review) lets content owners fine-tune phrasing and terminology over time—without breaking layouts.
Example: When the language toggles to Spanish, even the Unit/Lesson header art updates to Spanish text.
Lessons That Meet Leaders Where They Are
A good nonprofit website redesign translates mission into moments. For Crossroads, “moments” look like a leader prepping on an iPad at home, or a volunteer printing a full lesson ten minutes before club.
Two flexible ways to use lessons
Built-in feedback loop
At the bottom of every lesson, leaders can leave feedback about what worked, what confused kids, or what they’d tweak. Over time, that turns anecdotal observations into a continuous content-quality engine.
Beyond Lessons: Games, Activities, and Resources
Leaders asked for quick access to games and activities to support club time. We designed dedicated pages that:
- Make choosing by age or time available simple.
- Offer printable PDFs in English, Spanish, and Twi where available.
- Keep materials, training resources, and curriculum resources in one place—no more chasing scattered files.
This is the kind of structure a seasoned website design company builds to support real-world ministry rhythms.
Donors Can Fuel the Mission—Right From the Leaders’ Site
Crossroads Kids Club offers its Gospel-centered curriculum free to the children they serve. To keep that possible, we placed an easy-to-use donation path into the leaders’ experience so passionate volunteers and supporters can help sustain the work.
“HELP US SHARE THE GOSPEL IN SCHOOLS
You want kids to know Jesus. We do too.
You want to make a lasting impact. We do too. …
A one-time gift makes a difference. A monthly gift changes everything.”
Smart website development for nonprofits ensures the critical “give” moment is never more than a click away.
