Q&A

TBH Creative chatted via email about the project with Kevin Rose, Franciscan Health Foundation’s administrative director of marketing and communications, and project lead Tatum Hindman. Their responses—below—have been condensed and edited.

Why was the Franciscan Health Foundation looking for website redesign help?

Kevin Rose: First and foremost, we were looking for a way to use our website to showcase our programs that make a positive impact on those in need. The new and easy-to-navigate website did just that.

“The TBH Creative team took the time to answer all of my questions—and, there were many of them.”

What did TBH Creative do to help the Franciscan Health Foundation team meet its website marketing goals?

Kevin Rose: Knowing it was a complex site to build, TBH Creative excelled in how they went about collaborating with us. This resulted in a final product we could all be proud of. They took the time to answer all of my questions—and, there were many of them.

What did the Franciscan Health Foundation team think of the finished website?

Kevin Rose: The new website is terrific. We’re very happy with it, and we’ve received very positive feedback about how informative it is as well as regarding its modern look and ease of use.

What helped make this fundraising website design project successful?

Tatum Hindman: From the very beginning, we were in agreement with the goals and creative direction for the website; it needed to tell a story and be personal. We also had a history with the team after a decade in partnership with Franciscan Health on other projects, so they trusted us to get the work done well and knew that we could adapt to their changes along the way. Learn more about the project »
