Colorado Succeeds
The Future of Education Easily Navigable
Colorado Succeeds is a nonprofit coalition of Colorado’s top business leaders working to improve schools, change educational outcomes, and shape the state’s workforce—recognized that their six-year-old website no longer reflected their evolving mission or effectively guided users to key resources and actions. They needed a redesigned, responsive site that tells a concise, inspiring story about their value and impact; features a fresh, forward-looking design; and delivers an intuitive user experience with clear calls to action.
Colorado Succeeds needed a website that clearly communicated its evolving mission, impact, and advocacy work while guiding busy users to take action. The existing site buried key calls to action, fragmented the organization’s story, and made it difficult for users to quickly find relevant resources.
Gecko led a full website redesign on a modern WordPress platform, restructuring navigation around core user journeys—impact, advocacy resources, coalition members, and donations. We clarified the organization’s narrative with concise, above-the-fold messaging, improved performance through streamlined templates, and built a scalable, searchable resource library featuring custom-designed case studies and deep-dive content—making engagement faster, clearer, and more effective.
"Gecko Designs is one of the best vendors I've ever hired and worked with in more than 15 years of education and advocacy communications. The work of our nonprofit organization is complex, and they have done exceptional work to help us make what we do clear to a broader external audience. Everyone we've worked with on their team has brought focus, expertise, intelligence, and fun to our work together. I look forward to many more projects with Gecko in the future!"
