A Story Bank that Fuels Self-Determination
A System Built for the People Who Update It
The centerpiece of the redesign was a flexible, easy-to-use CMS that allows The Arc team to update events, publish stories, and manage resources without technical barriers. From event listings to a growing story bank, every section was designed to be intuitive, editable, and scalable so the website could evolve alongside the organization’s work.
Search-Driven Growth
Through intentional SEO strategy and improved site structure, we increased discoverability for people actively searching for services, resources, and advocacy. The result is consistent, search-driven traffic growth that makes The Arc easier to find and easier to engage with over time.

"As President of The Arc of DFW Area, I had the pleasure of working with a talented team of graphic designers from the University of North Texas to modernize our website. While the design they created was exceptional, as an all-volunteer nonprofit, we lacked the in-house expertise and resources to actually implement the new design. That's when Gavin and Myles from Blue Dot Creative, who had been part of the original design team, stepped in and offered their assistance.
From the outset, Gavin and Myles were a joy to collaborate with. They showed a genuine interest in understanding our organization's needs and demonstrated remarkable flexibility in addressing challenges as they arose. Their professionalism was evident throughout the process—we held regular meetings to review progress, and they consistently came prepared with thoughtful updates and actionable next steps.
Beyond delivering a visually stunning website, Blue Dot Creative went the extra mile to ensure it was practical for our team of volunteers to manage independently. They provided a fantastic set of tutorial videos that will not only help us maintain the site but also serve as a valuable resource for future volunteers as our team evolves over time.
Working with Blue Dot Creative was a truly enjoyable experience, and I wholeheartedly recommend them for website design and development. They not only deliver outstanding results but also make the entire process seamless and collaborative."
James Lunday has served as the DFW Chapter President of The Arc since 2023.
