Pegasus Voyages

What we built

The site serves four very different audiences. Teachers and youth organizations need to know what a trip involves and that it’s safe. Charter guests need voyage options and a way to book. Donors need a reason to give, and prospective volunteers need a way in. All of it had to run without adding work for a team made up of volunteers.

We built a site where every audience can find its path quickly. The youth program is at the heart of it, with the story of the Pegasus Experience, the history of the organization, and profiles of the captains who lead it. Photo and video galleries show the kids on the water, and a student artwork page lets them tell the story in their own way.

The charter side works as the fundraising engine. Each voyage is laid out with its duration and price, from a three-hour East Bay sail to a full day under three bridges, alongside special trips like weddings and ash scatterings. A Request a Voyage form starts the booking. For the day itself, the site handles the practical details, with directions to the dock, a what-to-bring guide, waiver forms for adults and minors, and live wind conditions.

Supporters and crew are covered too. A donation page makes giving simple, and a Volunteer as Crew section brings in new hands, complete with the crew training manual and a link to the team’s scheduling system. Wicked Code hosts the site, so the volunteers can focus on sailing.

This well-designed site acts as a central hub for communication, fundraising, and volunteer recruitment, serving as the lifeblood for this non-profit organization. This website was selected among the The Best Non Profit Website Designs by DesignRush in 2024! (Special thanks to Kim Stuart Digital for the extraordinary collaboration on this website.)
